Likely every local tv deal averages >$40m per year. So every single team is getting $100m+ guaranteed before selling a ticket.Feb 12, 2022 So you are at a $9m surplus for Toronto after tickets and TV. Other revenue probably adds another $31m So your at $40m Now you have to pay staff, insurance, vendors, taxes, minor leagues, dues, travel Its not like these guys are making $100+m after all told. Most franchises probably just break even or slightly above. They keep ownership because they know people will spend a billion dollars to own the right franchise. [/QUOTE]
