Dolphins share of NFL revenue

[gafin]

According to CBS Sports: 187.7 million. NFL total 6 billion.

The Green Bay Packers released their annual revenue report on Thursday, opening a window in the multi-billion dollar world of NFL team financials. Because the Packers are a publicly-owned team, their revenue report is made public, and it shows the 32 NFL teams split north of $6 billion.

The Packers earned $187.7 million in national revenue in 2013, CEO and President Mark Murphy revealed, which amounted to a 4.3 percent increase over the previous year. (Multiply $187.7 million by 32 and you get $6,006,400,000.)

That's a lot of money, but the player's take a huge chunk out of that. Whatever way you look at it, it is still a lot of money.

Interesting

I thought they would make more than that! United are about to sign a £75 million per year deal with addidas just to make our shirts. And that's not counting the other dozens of sponsors, sales, tickets etc.


Assumed NFL teams would have similar revenue but I suppose splitting it evenly cuts the money for the bigger teams.

This report has to be wrong. The revenues cannot possibly be split evenly between each owner. So what this report is telling me is that Jerry Jones got just as much in NFL revenue as Jacksonville Jaquars, or the Bills, or Tampa bay got? Very hard to believe. Its got to be an allocation based each teams market size and other variables.

I always thought this was how it works. Except things like within market sponsorship etc

Look at the Superbowl. Revenue is split evenly,Ross makes basically the same amount if its held in Miami or Alaska

Florio's take on the story that is also reported by ESPN.

Darren Rovell of ESPN.com did some backwards math to determine that the $187.7 million received by the Packers in national revenue means that the league divided a whopping $6 billion among the 32 teams from April 1, 2013 through March 31, 2014.

That cash comes largely from the national TV contracts with NBC, ESPN, FOX, CBS, and DirecTV. The wireless deal with Verizon also pumps up the number, as does the 34-percent chunk of ticket sales that go to the visiting team in name, but that as a practical matter are pooled for revenue sharing.

The massive shared amount, which exceeds last year’s salary cap of $123 million by more than 50 percent, highlights the ongoing importance of the broadcast antitrust exemption. The federal law, passed decades ago, gives the NFL the ability to negotiate TV deals as a 32-business block, forcing networks that covet broadcasts of significant national interest to also take less attractive games involving less compelling teams.

And then we spend it all on players who throw it away as fast as they get it in. At least the local SoFl economy gets some of it back (if you're a dealer or a stripper anyway)

That revenue is the pooled revenue only. Remember, there was a time when every owner wanted a new or redesigned stadium to increase the luxury boxes. That was because the own we gets to keep that revenue. Other things like jersey sales of Romo, RGIII and Manning go to those individual teams. These and other revenue streams are what separate the Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants type teams from the Green Bay Packers and Cincinnati Bengals type teams.

But the shared NFL revenue is the Lions share of each team's income.
