I don't know why you are asking me that. It wouldn't lose anywhere near 80% without Origin.
Let's play it out... So RL without Origin is worth roughly $15M but AFL, a comp with no Origin is worth $170M, even accounting for game length.
Yeah nah
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
