I'm pretty sure the reports are that Barca would have received 250m euros for the CVC deal.
Also 10% is the return CVC is asking for,if that suits your mind better but it's really just splitting hairs, CVC will received 10% of the tv revenues for 50 years for providing us 250m euros now, we currently receive 150m euros per year for our tv deal, assuming everything remains as it is for the next 50 years, that's 15m per season for 50 years, that's 750m euros.
10% stake, 10% interesting is all pretty much the same thing & a horrible deal for any club who is remotely thinking about the future, that's a classic bartomeu deal mortgage the future for immediate returns.
People can say what they will about Perez but he is a brilliant business man, it took him probably 10 minutes & is calculator to say what, you give me 250, I give you back 750, helll nooo.
Their is a reason Italy & Germany rejected the offer.
It they had come in & ask for 2-4% of revenues over the next 50 years, I guarantee you Barca & Madrid would have taken it, but 10% that's ridiculous.
OK, I get where the 750m comes from. However, the counter argument is if the TV deal grows much bigger as a result of the deal (which is projected by KPMG, by 1 billion euros more beyond 2030), then the participating clubs will still win by not only getting compensated, also by receiving more TV money than they would have without the deal, right?
If the end result is these clubs will take in more than they lose, receive more than they would have without it, then it is a win, no?
