EPL TV Rights Payments Go Up 60 Percent Over Last Season 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Thu May 15, 2014 4:01 pm

Manchester City earned $161.8 million in television rights money, a huge increase from $102 million Manchester United received last season as champions.

Liverpool actually made slightly more than City at $163.5 million due to more of their games being screened live by broadcasters.

Of each club's payment, 50% comes from UK broadcast revenue, which is split equally between the 20 clubs; 25% of it depends on where the club finishes in the league; 25% comes from fees each time a club's matches are broadcast in the UK.

Cardiff City earned $104 million despite finishing in last place in the Premier League.
