but they spend $359.2, and still on the red, the top 3 clubs generated 70 percent of the amount http://www.nj.com/metrostars/ledger/index.ssf?/base/sports-0/111993811834210.xml&coll=1&thispage=2
Where did either of Benfica and Porto earn money? Where did Sporting spend money? I'm guessing a good chunk of that came from Sporting as they reported a while back their debt was down to 250 mill.
Don't be silly.... Porto pulled in 40% of the Leagues total revenue (more than Sporting & Benfica COMBINED!). Great year financially for them, where they net profit was over 24 million EUR. It just shows that it pays to have a Russian sugardaddy! If you take away Porto's net profit, the rest of the league actually had net losses over 25 million. While that doesn't sound too good, it's a stark improvement over the 40+ million the league lost the year before. Also, Sporting & Benfica count for 60% of the 25 million net losses of the league.
