All of ‘em are obscenely over paid if you ask me

Well I for sure agree with that, and look at baseball, something no one even watches. Where does that money come from?
“Where does that money come from?”
Ticket prices explain a lot of it... for all pro sports icket prices are absolutely ridiculous.
The nfl team where I am was planning to charge $99 just for a place to stand during playoff games....hilariously enough they dropped 5 games in a row at the end of the season thereby snatching defeat from the jaws of victory......and I laughed and laughed.
Even nascar......if you’ve ever attended a race you know your basically renting a spot to stand because nobody wants to sit down....when tickets for Daytona races got to $95 for a decent seat that was it for me.
The UFC started having fights here. Interested in seeing the fights live I checked ticket prices.......the cheapest seat were over $500.......WHAT???!!!

TV contracts is where the bulk of the money comes from. CBS, NBC, FOX, AMAZON are all paying the NFL millions to broadcast the games. ALL NFL games are the property of the NFL(unlike baseball where the team owns the broadcast rights)). The proceeds are split evenly between all the franchises. All NFL licensed merchandise is also split evenly between the franchises. So, if you buy a Dallas Cowboys hat or jersey, the Carolina Panthers and Jets get an equal share of that.
