'Parasitic' IPTV Piracy is Killing Football, "It's Them or Us" Says Serie A CEO * TorrentFreak
In Italy, the cost of subscription for streaming serie A soccer is 5% of the average net wage. And then you need to add the cost of broadband as it's only streamed, no TV broadcast.
A low wage worker would need to literally skip meals in order to watch those overpaid clowns kick a ball.
Buy less Lamborghinis, reduce the price, have enough servers to allow for a service that doesn't crash and stutter for the first half of the match, then maybe more people would stop paying the illegal IPTV services that are charging 1/10th of the legit service
As of now, illegal IPTV services are giving a better service (no stuttering for half match), a better experience (a m3u can work with older smart TVs without Android) for 90% less money. And sometimes even better support
Many people also pay for a VPN+a subscription to paramount plus USA and they can watch serie a from Italy at 50% off.
As an Australian I genuinely find European football salaries obscene and a bit disgusting tbh. Over here both of our major codes of football, NRL (rugby) and AFL (aussie rules) have had salary caps since the late 80s. It's not something implemented per player, but instead for the total roster of a club. The point is to make the competition fairer and well, more interesting, because you don't have all the good players concentrated into a few super clubs. In 2022 it was $13.5m for AFL clubs and $10m for NRL clubs. As well, if you breach it you generally don't get to earn points on the ladder until the following season. If you did it in the past, won a premiership and it's discovered, the title will be stripped.
Wow... Talk about getting greedy.
Ain't working class slaves the back bone of sports ball games?

It's "fewer Lamborghinis," not "less."

These days, profits growing slower than anticipated (but still growing) is framed as losing money.
