BBB was bad for most of the BB world - it added millions of dollars targeted specifically to the already successful teams. The KDBs of the world do not need a couple extra million. BBB should have just been for prestige and would have served the same purpose. We play our NT players with the risk of injury and we do not get a cut of the gate to compensate for the risk.


I had 4 B3 games, and made maybe 750k extra from revenue in those games. Then, back out maybe 300k-400k for lower attendance after having to take a dive in a league game, on top of the loss I took getting knocked out of the B3.

Yeah, 350-450k. Maybe I could use that money to get one limb of a good player.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you are all missing the point of the A-Rod acquisition. Wasn't it mostly to leverage their marketing power and marketing/advertising revenues? Bringing someone like A-Rod to New York doubles the media attention the team gets, which is similar to what they may get if they win a world series (approximate guesses of course).

I started a reply like this earlier (and in fact BB-mailed it to somdetsfinest earlier)... but I stopped because we're getting way off-topic. Feel free to take baseball over to Non-BB.

That is more profit then a lot of teams make in one season.

Profit as in after expenses? I'm in D.III now and am probably an above average team but using my finances as a guide, I would expect the following:

$150,000 Arena and TV Revenue per week
$15,000 in Merch Revenue per week
$70,000 in Player Salary
$50,000 in Staff Salary
$20,000 in Scouting
$25,000 profit per week
$350,000 profit per season

A team can make more each season based on adjustments (less player salary, no scouting, etc.) but the bulk is going to have to come from player sales if you want to make up to $750K and assuming you want to purchase a player or two, you have to train very efficiently to realize the high purchase prices.

I thought about that as well, but when it comes down to it I think it is relevent. For a lot of teams the ultimate goal of buying a player is not a championship it is to boost revenue (spend money to make money) which is another justification of paying the high purchase price if you know you are going to sell again for more or draw attention to your players or bring in more fans, etc.

Let's say ideally you sell 1 player for $750K per year as a first or second year manager that is a big feat in my opinion. You also might buy a good player or two.

Ideally yes it is achievable if you run a good budget and train players and make smart purchases but in general I think you are overestimating a good majority of the managers. I make plenty in profit to run an effective team but I am also one of the top teams in my division and there are 16 of my divisions, a lot of teams out there don't make that much money, not that it is a lot in this economy, but still, its certainly not trivial to everyone.

If you cannot train a player for sale that's worth at least 750k, you have a problem. If you think you should keep all players you train, you have an even bigger problem.
