Ice and fire! The Premier League relegation team will beat Barcelona + Naples with a bonus of 130 million. The truth is too cruel

The season ended, and it was time for the five major leagues to "split money". This time the data came out, it was really shocking to see - Southampton, who was demoted from the Premier League, received 130 million euros in just broadcasting, which is more than Barcelona and Naples combined! This gap can no longer be described as "the gap between the rich and the poor".

The Premier League is so rich that there are no friends, and the bottom teams are all "rich second generation"

The Athletic data just released shows that the bonus income of 20 Premier League teams all exceeded 100 million pounds. Liverpool led the way with £181.5 million, and even Southampton, the bottom, recorded £110.9 million. Converting to euros, Southampton's 132.24 million euros have exceeded Barcelona's 109.81 million euros.

What does this concept? A Premier League relegation team has more than 20 million euros more than the La Liga giants! No wonder Liverpool dares to spend a lot of money to chase Wiltz, because they are confident. The total prize pool of the Premier League is as high as 3.476 billion euros, with an average of 146 million euros per team. This distribution model is indeed "conscience".

Looking at other leagues, the gap is simply suffocating.

La Liga is seriously polarized, and the data of mid- and lower-stream teams are even more heartbreaking. La Liga champion Barcelona won 109.81 million euros, and Real Madrid followed closely behind 103.05 million euros. It looks OK? The three teams that can be relegated to Leganes, Las Palmas and Valladolid are only 36.3 million, 35.46 million and 34.61 million euros respectively.

The gap is nearly 3 times! The total prize pool of La Liga is 1.118 billion euros, with an average of 55.9 million euros per team, and only the top six teams can exceed the average. Betis can't afford Anthony? Just look at the standard of pensions and understand.

Serie A is so shabby that it is heartbreaking. The championship bonus is not as big as the Premier League.

The worst is Serie A. How much did Naples win the champion? 15.7 million euros! That's right, it's 15.7 million! Monza, who is at the bottom, has only 300,000 euros, which can't afford to buy a substitute in the Premier League.

The total broadcast of the Serie A league is only 100.6 million euros, which is not as many as a mid-range team in the Premier League. Compared with La Liga's 1.351 billion, it is only 7.45% of that. This gap is speechless.

The glory of the "Small World Cup" in Serie A now seems to be just a memory. Although the main audience is in the local and American markets, why not learn from the Premier League and pay more attention to the Asian market? There are also many die-hard fans of Inter Milan, Milan and Juventus in China.

European winnings are also the dominant Premier League

Champions League, with the highest revenue of Paris approaching 138 million euros. Tottenham, which has the highest revenue from the Europa League, has about 46 million euros, ranking only 26th among the 108 European teams. The UEFA Champion Chelsea will have up to 22 million euros.

You will know after comparing it. Premier League teams earn at least 130 million euros in 38 league games, which is indeed much more fragrant than European games. It's no wonder that Premier League teams would rather fight to the death in the league than care much about European results.

To be honest, this gap is no longer a simple business operation problem, but an imbalance in the entire football ecology. The Premier League is the dominant player, and other leagues can only watch the gap wider and wider. If Serie A and La Liga do not find ways to change the status quo, they may not even have a chance to catch up.
