S&P did a study on how TV revenue is exploding and the PL are milking it to the fullest. Looks like cable subscribers are paying out of their asses for it. 15 years ago they paid 2$ for a sports package and now they pay about 19$. I'm just surprised that illegal streams haven't made a dent yet. Or perhaps they are the reason why the prices are unusually high. I feel sorry for the private sibscribers who are subsidizing for the illegal streamers. However I cannot blame the illegal streamers either. Cable companies are thieves.
Illegal streams were much more popular when there was no legal way to watch matches. Honestly I can't really complain about paying $100/year to be able to watch every BL, CL, and EL match live or on demand. That's a freaking unreal price so good that pirating makes no sense.
Is there any way to play around with the IP address location (zip code) to get foxsoccer2go while in Europe?

Other than beating Benfica and going deep in the CL, I don't see us sustaining this level of growth. Well that plus another Asia trip in the summer.
City is raking it in. It's selling the advertisable area on the arm sleeve to Nexes Tires from Korea for 10M per annum. WTF!!! And this after getting booted in the round of 8.
I know a ton of people on here stream without thinking twice. I don't blame them. Prices are ridiculously high for a product that just isn't worth it. https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2017/apr/25/illegal-streams-live-sports-sports-industry-group
Part of the issue, in the US at least, is that for people like me you have to buy expensive cable packages to watch sports. I don't watch TV so its a complete waste of money for me. Gladly pay for the foxsoccer2go website and stream all BL and CL matches legally.
Analysts are predicting that we are on track to earn 414M this season. That's well above the 380M predicted last summer. Can't help but wonder how much more we would have earned had we got past Monaco and ended up second. Reaching the final 4 results in a massive revenue boost. Particularly the TV part. Also tickets cost more.
http://www.kicker.de/news/fussball/...in-asien_bvb-blickt-gen-usa.html#omsmtwkicker 12 million Japanese viewers watched BVB play against Urawa!! Incredible. Even though details arent released yet, we made a lot of money via this trips. Next year we will go to the US and take the American Shinji Kagawa with us i.e. Christian Pulisic.
Financial results press conference: We hit total revenue of 405,7M. Our total personnel costs are over 177M.

I'd want to use some of this cash at least to bring the wages of some of BVB's top players more in line with market value.
According to TU Braunschweig, BVB is once again, for the 5th year in a row the leading football brand in Germany. Bayern moves up one spot over BMG to second. http://www.horizont.net/marketing/n...teidigt-erneut-die-Markenmeisterschaft-142668
The studies are typically done over the course of a season so I presume we were the strongest for 2015-16. It's validated by that comment: "Begleitet von einer sportlich und wirtschaftlich erfolgreichen Gesamtentwicklung des Vereins hat sich Borussia Dortmund im Zuge eines professionellen Markenmanagements in den zurückliegenden Jahren ein sehr positives Vereinsmarkenbild in der öffentlichen Wahrnehmung aufgebaut", sagt Jan Dreisbach
