        Owners don't make their money on the club they own they are already wealthy when they purchase the team

        You think the Emirate prince is making a profit off Manchester City

            Total Nonsense, half of Jerry Jones wealth is DIRECTLY TIED to the fact that the Dallas Cowboys is a money maker. Him building the current stadium gave him a billion dollars outright after 2 years in value.

              Jerry Jones made his fortune on Oil and his Comstock Resources company was already very wealthy before the Dallas Cowboys

              NFL is different it's the only sport in the world where ownership take more than 40% of the profits 90% of owner buys team for prestige and not to make money from it

                  Considering how this sport is really not that Popular compared to other sports...yeah you can make a strong argument that ALL of these fighters are overpaid especially when guys are getting paid big money but yet they're not even much of a DRAW. They don't sell much tickets and they don't move the needle ratings wise but yet they're getting paid MILLIONS basically just for showing up and fight anybody

                  That being said Networks and Apps are still spending big money on the sport so it is BIG MONEY to be made in this sport. However, it would indeed be better IF guys was actually earning their money instead of them being overpaid not because they're worth it but more so because DAZN, Top Rank, PBC or whoever want to show each other up. Now this is great for the fighters and they're getting paid in the process and in the middle of this massive Split in boxing among Promoters and Networks/Apps

                  With that being said, no I don't want to see Boxers get Peanuts like the UFC while UFC itself rack in BILLIONS. People tune in to see the TALENT, not the Brand!

                      Boxing is currently in a slump because Haymon is trying to monopolize the game. Fairly simple. The overpaying started with Haymon to steal fighters, and now he moves his pieces very carefully, to not lose any belts to outside sources.
