You have judged and compared CHL (tournament) to KHL (league) just by the prize money alone, but you can't compare two leagues from the "tv-product" point of view? Or how well does these two products sell in the global market? You have told us that KHL teams get 5 million for 24 teams. Now we know that Swedish elite teams are about to get same amount of money for each team, per season. I think its not very hard to compare, but I also know, that despite of this situation, the most expensive players in the old continent still plays in KHL.
We know that the CHL-Infront deal includes TV agreements & sponsors. If I am wrong, let me know. We know how the KHL revenue sharing system works. So we can compare. We can not do that with the SHL, because we do not know what is included in this sum you mentioned (btw. future deal, you compared past vs future deal). The deal was presented here as TV deal only. But, the deal should include a central sponsorhip as quoted below.
We do not know how much money will the KHL share in future. So, we can not compare with the SHL. On the other hand, we know how much the CHL plans to share in future - 3,7 million EUR in 2022 or so. So we can compare with the KHL, because there is zero chance the league will share less in future.
I care what the CHL & the KHL say - wanting to be the best in Europe (Euroasia). Remind you prize money of the CHL 2008 - if you want to play with a tournament/a league game - it was 10 million EUR in the CHL 2008. The CHL 2014 will not reach this sum in the future (2022 or so).
But why is this at all important, if we want to compare SHL to KHL from the tv-money point of view? Or if we want to compare Liiga to KHL? Hockey Allsvenskan should be compared to VHL or Mestis (if we want to do that) as all of them are second tier competitions.
If the sum you presented was negotiated in one package, it is important for analysis. We do not know. Again, why the statement of six HA clubs if they negotiated separately? They are not good enough, get less money. Simple.
I have to admit that I don't know, but in the article they only talk about the tv-deal and its impact on the situation. So I don't understand, how you can get it the way that it would also include league's sponsors? Do you have another source that would tell us more about the situation?
I read
this.
37 miljoner var för de 14 klubbarna
Sedan tillkommer centrala avtal som ligan tecknar med sponsorer, de senaste åren har det varit runt fem miljoner per klubb. Även den siffran kommer att öka.
Klubbarna har fått besked från SHL-ledningen att man under de här sex åren få ut mellan 42–48 miljoner kronor per säsong, centrala avtal inräknade.
37 million were for the 14 clubs
Then there are key agreements that the league signs with sponsors, in recent years there have been around five million per club. Even that figure will increase.
The clubs have been notified of the SHL management that during these six years they receive between 42-48 million kronor per season, including central agreements.
The question about league´s costs for making TV signal is important too. Because we know that the KHL pays a lot for it (because of ruble vs USD value). How much the SHL? I hope you are aware of the KHL revenue sharing model. How the final sum is calculated. To be short, it is income from TV deals minus costs for making TV signal. A part of the sum is keeped by the league & the rest is shared.
