They will get even more money once the new deal expires in 2019. It's absurd how much money the BPL makes

i thought they were some poor team with no money?

Compared to the big clubs they are poor. United, Chelsea, Liverpool make a crap ton off of sponsorship which leicester doesn't

Who said that?
They aren't broke, but they're still winning the league with a rag-tag bunch on low wages without some superstar or two that they broke the bank for.

They are - they are only getting that much money because they are winning the league and have appeared on TV so much.
Thats the way the PLs tv deal works.
Compare that with Spain where RM and Barca take a huge lion share of the revenue before the rest of the teams even get theirs.

The link is the results from last year when they finished 14th. QPR, which finished last, made more than everyone else when you exclude Barca, Real and Juve. Hull made more than Bayern and BVB combined.

Actually no
Their owner is a Thai billionaire who has invested pretty well to the point they are being investigated for break ffp while in the championship.

Nah, they are winning with good defensive discipline and a good counter-attack. Mahrez and Kante are stars right now, as they are arguably top 5 players in the league based on form. Kante was very good in Ligue 1 last year as well. And Mahrez always had a lot of dribbling ability.
The reality of the TV deal is that Leicester can afford a player like Christian Fuchs, a CL-level player with Schalke, with real quality, instead of that player going to Sevilla or somewhere similar. If you have a bunch of players like this, quality internationals that want higher wages than other leagues can offer, but aren't quite as flashy enough for big clubs, you are going to build some pretty good teams.
Still, the pattern of play in La Liga is higher. Despite the improvement by teams in England, they still don't have the technical nous of Spanish teams.

To add to my point about the improvement of mid-tier teams, a player like Idrissa Gueye who was good in Ligue 1 went to Aston Villa, where he has performed better than the rest of the team, yet will go overlooked because he plays for a shite team. If you watched Kante and Gueye last year in Ligue 1, it would be difficult to tell who was better. Kante has an insane engine, which is what helps him. He's like the reincarnation of Makelele. I mean, Kante has averaged 4.5 tackles per game and 4.2 interceptions per game, while Gueye has averaged 4.1 tackles per game and 4.3 interceptions per game. Gueye has done this for one of the worst teams the league has ever seen. A big team should buy Gueye just like a big team should buy Kante.

Thank you!
I've been banging on to people about how good Gueye is but because of him being at Villa nobody listens
