The table says it all.

it's pretty much self explanatory bb :)

No one is asking for the money to be divided exactly equally between all teams, in the EPL the bigger clubs make more money but the difference is nowhere as startling as it is in La Liga.

I like Real a lot but they better stay away from Fer or Javi ;)

Ummm, there's a pretty big difference between there being 5 possible winners and there being 2

It's 3 teams more than 2. And not so, the EPL race was particularly close last year, City and Spurs have created a presence.

Woah, I'm impressed about how TVs pay overall much less money in Spain than in England. It's a 400 million difference!

Yeah, I don't understand it either. I suppose it's not an audience issue, though, especially not one about foreign airing.

That's why south american football is so exciting, there are lots of teams in the mix to win competitions.

Hmm yeah... but that's because not one team manages to stay competitive for longer than a season. They can't keep their squads not even for one entire competition and they're always in deep financial troubles. It's definitely not a good model of competitiveness.

I understand that very well, since it happens in my country :p But about the final product, we'll have to agree to disagree. I prefer watching good football in England and Spain (and even if they don't win the league, other teams do play well) than 6 mediocre teams flopping left and right on a title race.

IMO it's pretty straightforward. It'll help La Liga as a whole if tv revenues were more equally divided, since it would lead to happier players/better teams/a fairer distribution of wealth/a more competitive league overall.
