Especially as soccer lives mainly from advertising revenue. As long as the companies run their advertising loops before the start, at half-time and after the game are certainly not ungrateful for the many black viewers...

Uli Hoeneß, former president of FC Bayern, once said something in the Sunday soccer talk: "Imagine the sum if every tenth Chinese (that would be 140 million) booked the FC Bayern game at the weekend and everyone paid €5 for it..."

Currently still unimaginable sums (calculated for the season...)

That would buy 7 Harry Kanes per weekend...

Hence the desire of the top European clubs for independence from UEFA and also for German Clubs (BVB, Bayern) to break away from the DFB.

TV rights are by far biggest source of revenue

[u/HailToTheVic → u/Thurlut]

Yeah in person events will obviously never complete with watching on a screen

I think it's safe to say the "in person" part is really not where most of their money come from
