Packers receive $432.6M in revenue sharing

Packers receive $432.6M
quote:
GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Eighteen years ago, when Mark Murphy gave his first financial report after taking over as president of the Green Bay Packers, the NFL's revenue sharing was $138 million per team.
On Wednesday, just days before Murphy officially will retire and hand over control to incoming president Ed Policy, the Packers revealed that their national revenue sharing from the previous fiscal year was $432.6 million -- a year after national revenue topped $400 million per team (at $402.3 million) for the first time.
quote:
"I continue to be amazed by the popularity of the NFL and by the league office's ability to generate revenue," Murphy said. "It's impressive."
The team's finances are the only window into the NFL's revenue-sharing numbers because as the only publicly owned team, the Packers are required to reveal their financial statement on an annual basis.
With $432.6 million distributed to each of the 32 NFL teams, it means the league shared more than $13 billion in revenue from the previous fiscal year.
Murphy, along with Maureen Smith (Packers chief financial officer) and Karl Schmidt (treasurer of the team's executive committee), shared the numbers that they will present to their stockholders during the annual shareholder meeting Friday at Lambeau Field. Murphy said national revenue accounts for about 60% of the Packers' total revenue.

They do. It's just a smaller number than the headline amount.

So no, they don't actually guarantee the contracts

Packers also likely grossed around $150M on Gameday revenues such as parking, tickets, concessions, etc.
So, basically, a half decent run franchise that fills the stadium is going to print around $600M/yr.
If you are a place like Vegas or Dallas or Rams, which hosts events in their stadium almost year round (stadiums that are often at least partially or mostly funded by the taxpayers) then those franchises owners are probably grossing nearly $800-$1B every year.
And half these owners are idiots whose grandfather of father founded or bought the team for pennies 50+ yrs ago.

It depends on your perspective.
Yes, they guarantee most of the contract amount, but not all of it.
That guaranteed amount should make the headlines, but players, and agents, and “reporters” like Adam Schefter like to oversell the contracts, so the back end total amounts make all the headlines.

Players not playing for free.
Net Profit @$84mil.

That helped the Packers' profit from operations increase from $60.1 million to $83.7 million over the previous year. Local revenue, boosted by hosting a ninth regular-season home game since the league went to a 17-game schedule, increased from $251.8 million to $286.4 million.

So I assume the lowest ranked teams on the list still profited at least $50 million? That's crazy to net a profit of $50 million and be the worst run team. And what do the best run teams in the big markets make? $100 million?

So, they take in a little over $30 million per home game.
Not too shabby.

Is revenue the right word here? The NFL also has massive costs to cover so I would think they'd only distribute from their profit, no? If so that would mea the revenue would have been much higher.
ETA: It says they shared that much revenue, so I guess it's accurate.

There's also a reason it took so long for the Packers to play their first overseas game.
The Green Bay metro is so small that the home games are critical to hundreds of small businesses there, and Packer fans travel so well that no road opponent wanted to give up their game against us.

Great.
Let me subcontract you for work. Decide I don't need your services anymore after your done with much of the work then pay you 5% of the total contract.
You would lose your mind.
You guys hate athletes making money so you fine with them getting screwed.
