I wasn't sure what the actual number was so I was guestimating. So if the number is $115M and Origin is responsible for 80% of the broadcast deal, then the Origin figure is $90M, leaving $25M as the supposed value of the NRL comp. A little more than my $15M guess, but still an obviously ridiculous figure.Where are you pulling this $15 figure from?
Ch9 pay $115m. Orign is worth $50m ( this makes 80% of the FTA profit)
Meaning the NRL regular FTA brings in $65m - everyone of those games is shown live on Fox. Ch9 want to have exclusive games next deal.
AFL has more FTA games, games that overlap. 90% of games are exclusive to ch7 in the market. For example Swans and GWS are exclusive to ch7.
So the 2 aren't like for like
NRL Comp only: $25M (no Origin) and at worst rates just as well as the AFL. The quote is bullshit and gets tossed around liberally after Gus said it who is notoriously full of shit
