United and Liverpool are kings of Asia

No one cares about them in Europe

Have never seen anything saying they are big in South America especially with no French connection

Ok well you can hold on to your anecdotes and I'll look at the numbers which contradict your outdated notions. Just read the full Deloitte report.

I don't have a dog in this fight dude, but no one is aware of PSG in America besides pretty diehard soccer fans. Granted, there are a lot more of those than there used to be but it's still a small number in the grand scheme. I live in Houston, the most diverse city in the world, literally. I see dudes wearing ManU, Barca, Real Madrid, Chelsea shirts. And bunch of little Mexican dudes wearing Club America or Tigres shirts. That's about it. I can't speak for Europe or Asia.


PSG has the money and the players, but not the worldwide fanbase or notoriety.

Exactly

no one is saying PSG don't have a shite load of fans b/c they do a good amount of fans. The Paris metro area has 12+ million people. But when it comes to an established world wide fan base it just isn't there.

That takes years to build, not over night.

That and the French League is not on tv as much like its other competitors

So anecdotal evidence

Deloitte's hard numbers say PSG's merch sales and social media interactions are similar to other clubs in the top 10. Read the report. If that's not good enough for you then I don't know what to tell you.

I never claimed PSG has as big a following in Houston as Man U or Barca. But while we're on the subject how many Bayern or Juventus shirts do you see?

PSG strips on the continent are getting to be the way Chelsea strips were just a few years ago. Kind of a fashion statement, like AS Roma, Juventus.

I'm talking about countries outside of their country or League of play.

I also see the odd Bayern and Chelsea strip, with obviously much more frequency than PSG.

The thing is you didn't ever used to see PSG.

Well no shite, the whole point I'm making is that while PSG's financial numbers at one time were definitely inflated by deals with Qatar owned entities, that's becoming less and less of a thing and PSG is now a legit brand in it's own right. Not as big as like ManU or Real/Barca obviously but they deserve their place in the top 10 of this list.

You used to see them back when they were in their scandalous buy a title days before they had all the problems with being on by the Frenchman that bought Adidas, and went down etc.

Which is why your arguments as if PSG and OM are on an equal playing field are so retarded
