With Soccer its over time and the clubs make alot from merchandise and tv revenue, and ticket sales.
That's what they tell us. We don't really know.
For instance, most FIFA events are tax exempt. World Cups do NOT pay tax nor report earnings to local authorities. So you could say they sold a billion or a trillion, nobody knows.
Soccer is a black box and the numbers are surreal. 200 million Euro for a soccer player is suspicious as fuck if you ask me and we'll never know what's truly behind it. It may or may not be about merchandise and TV revenue, but then again I may be wrong.
