How much money has Manchester City managed to raise with their titles? And what about Manchester United and West Ham?
The television and economic distribution of the Premier League teams has been the subject of analysis and discussion in recent seasons. The English competition is characterized by its equality in the distribution of television rights, which has contributed to making it one of the most attractive and competitive leagues in the world.
Premier League
First of all, it is important to note that the television rights of the Premier League are negotiated for a total value of 8,136 million pounds every three years. Of this figure, 45% corresponds to the rights acquired in the United Kingdom, while the remaining 55% comes from other countries. Each team receives a base of £135.6 million per season, regardless of their position in the table.
In addition to this base amount, a bonus is awarded for the final position in the ranking. League champions Manchester City received £48m while bottom side Southampton got £2.4m. Likewise, clubs can negotiate additional rates with sports channels for the broadcast of their matches, with Manchester City generating the most revenue in this regard during the current season.
