Anthndav Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 Just goes to show FIFA for what they are. A corrupt, monopoly who's only care is the pounds and pence. Custodians of the beautiful game? They are having a laugh. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreshOwl Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 He wants the same TV money as the men’s World Cup How can you want the same money for a different, insufficient product? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthefish2002 Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 This is probably just the normal horse trading when negotiations are going on. Bloke is just trying to get a better deal really. $1m dollars does sound cheap for TV companies. If BBC really value women's sport like they say why are they valuing it so cheaply?

There's likely a formula that it's based upon. Ie time of viewing X predicted number of viewers but obviously a lot more complicated. Despite the bounce the euros gave women's football here last year they do have a duty to all licence fee payers to ensure they aren't paying over the odds for it. I also heard on the radio last night it's a joint bid with ITV so they'll likely set it by how much sponsorship the ads draw in, all in all nowhere near what the men's game brings in at present. Think the women's game needed a few more tournaments riding the back of the men's coattails in terms of sponsorship before FIFA separated them personally.

bradowl Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 Viewing figures for games in early hours that don't involve England will only be a thousand. Games are played between 1am and 11am apparently, I won't be watching any during working week. No way should tv companies be paying anywhere near what's paid for men's world cup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac_77 Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 Women’s football is 100 years behind men’s, it has to grow organically and cannot be forced. Although they are trying. It will take a fair while to bring the women’s game up to anywhere near the standard of the men’s game. With better quality comes more viewers, with more viewers comes more sponsorship and therefore money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradowl Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 I keep seeing it mentioned about some massive crowds turning up for some of women's games like Arsenal v Wolfsburg other night but how much are tickets for these games? I doubt they cost anywhere near what you can pay for premier league games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The only way is S6 Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 If he hadn’t turned the Saudi tourism sponsorship down, he wouldn’t need any extra tv money. Farce. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's England winning a tournament got to do with it? If they'd got beat in the euros would it still be in the dark ages? The women's game is miles behind the men's game in every aspect I'm afraid. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See what you saying about needing to grow organically, but I don't mind too that people are trying to do more to 'force' it. It didn't 'organically' stay way behind the mens game. It was actually banned for a good few years. So if it's rammed down people's throats more in the hope of speeding up the process then so be it. All for it.

g-owls Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 I’d say that the kick off times are having a large part to play into this. The independent networks such as ITV won’t be able command the advertising deals at 8am as they would at 8pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
