I don't think they care.
It's all about money and they get a lot.
It will also continue to help them keep a lot of players in their league.
I don't see this as a bad things nor why it seems to upset people here TBH. After all, if there is private entities that wants to pay that much, they are free to do so.

With more money comes higher salaries and inflation. As seen when looking at the absurd expensive transfer fees for average British footballers. On the other hand it's a huge plus when it comes to buying footballers from abroad. Especially Spain which is struggling financially.
It will be interesting to see La Liga's collective TV rights deal in comparison once that happens. There has been talk of that happening before the 2016-17 season.

Why are you laughing? That's good that the smaller clubs there can also buy players thanks to that.
I would love if the Ligue 1 could get even 1/3 of that money, so that clubs would not sell players as soon as they can without always replacing them.

But seriously think about it:
Everytime the PL gets some player, another league looses some player. Lets do a bit of exageration: Worst scenario is if everyone at some point goes to England and we have some sort of Super-League, while the rest declines to the quality of the slovenian league. Everyone who wants to watch good football HAS to watch EPL now, the CL would become as meaningful as the CWC because all the non-english teams play in a complete different universe qualitywise. Therefor they would get even more money and the gap would become even bigger every second.
This might be the direction that football is heading. Football could loose its internationality, and after some time, other big nations would become less interested in it.
It could become like the NFL, only that the NFL is WAY better managed to keep competition between the teams.
I dont want bigger gaps in football.

But the Enlglish teams wont get players from the other leagues for free.
They will most likely over pay for average Spanish league players and help those Spanish teams get back on feet financially.
The money from this tv deal will get spread throughout the world.

That's a lot of if and if and if.
It's not as if the EPL rights were becoming huge only now. They generated large amount of money for quite some times already. And that didn't stop some foreign clubs to buy their stars, and that didn't stop other foreign clubs to win titles.
You people are crying as if the apocalypse already happened.
Cry when the EPL clubs will win anything and buy messi and ronaldo. I bet it won't happen anytime soon.
Especially since I read many people around the EPL want new rules to force clubs to have more english/british players IIRC.
Are you sure you guys are not just jaelous that your preferred leagues don't get as much money?
Maybe other leagues rights will continue to rise too, for all we know.

I was laughing at how good it is and thinking about the quality and amount of players in which the lower ranked teams can bring in.
Bertus

Yep.

Oh good then
I still think that what just happened is a good thing, not only for the EPL but everyone.
Other leagues will ask more money when they will sell their rights, so I'm not worried.
Now I'm waiting for MU to spend 500M per summer

yeah, but not every foreign team will be able to sell off some guy for 40m every year.
And 40m then wouldnt even be the same as 40m today, inflation.
But the inflation will mostly be in England, while the rest of the world is still playing with they same numbers, apart from the times they do transfers.
JamDav1982

No one is saying they should be selling a player for 40m every year but this contract will increase what players are going for.
Already the lower league teams in England have far more financial power than most team in europe, yet there are some terrible teams that are full of foreign players only there for cash and vastly over priced British players.

I don't get the problem here, City will spend 35 million on average player they put on the bench, the team they got him off now have 35 million to spend on players. Exactly the same as always. This is not a new phenomenon.

It will cost £10.2 million per game... Ouch
