The current situation of the five major leagues: The Premier League is overwhelming, Serie A is so shabby that I can’t believe it, and the gap is so big!

Every time the season is over, in addition to the intense and exciting final ranking competition and the bustling and bustle of the summer transfer window, the "money-sharing drama" of the five major leagues can always firmly grasp the attention of fans. After dinner, everyone talked about the "gap between rich and poor" in each league, and there were always many interesting topics of conversation. This year is no exception, but the gap between the Premier League and Serie A is really a bit sad - the total broadcast bonus of the 20 Serie A teams is actually not as good as the Southampton family, which is at the bottom of the Premier League, has won much more. How come the once glorious "Small World Cup" is now like this?
Let's talk about the Premier League first, and it is no exaggeration to describe it as "inhumanity". According to the data estimated by The Athletic, the 20 Premier League teams have not earned more than 100 million pounds in bonus revenue. The leader Liverpool can get 181.5 million pounds, and Southampton, the bottom, also has 110.9 million pounds. At first glance, the gap between £70 million seems quite big, but after comparing other leagues, you will know that the distribution model of the Premier League is simply "conscience". Throughout the 24/25 season, the total Premier League prize money reached 2.9154 billion pounds, with an average score of 145.77 million pounds per team, and the mid- and lower-stream teams are basically below the average. No wonder Liverpool dares to introduce Wilz this summer. Compared with the league prize money that has made a lot of money, the investment in buying people is nothing! If converted into euros, the total Premier League prize money is about 3.47632 billion, Liverpool 21642 million, and Southampton 13224 million. This number looks very intuitive.
Looking at La Liga, according to data from Ass, Barcelona's total bonus revenue this season is 109.81 million euros, including 33.77 million broadcast revenue, 57.42 million ranking bonus and 18.62 million euros war revenue, Real Madrid is 103.05 million, Atletico Madrid is 96.3 million, and Betis is 61.72 million. The three teams that were relegated were in trouble, with the largest number of Leganes only 36.3 million. The total prize money of La Liga is 1.11808 billion euros, with an average of 55.904 million euros per team, and only the top six can exceed the average. If Barcelona were put into the Premier League, even Southampton's bonus would not be enough, with the gap of 22.43 million euros. Moreover, the gap between the top spot in La Liga and the end is almost three times, and the life of mid- and lower-level teams is so difficult. No wonder Betis is short of money if he wants to buy Anthony, but his wallet is really not allowed.
The most touching thing is Serie A. Once the data of the Italian website pazzidifanta was released, it made people wonder if they had read it wrong - the champion Naples only won 15.7 million euros, and only three teams in the entire league had a prize of over 10 million yuan, and Monza, who was at the bottom, was even more pitiful, with only 300,000 euros! The total prize money for Serie A broadcasts is only 100.6 million euros, which is less than a fraction of La Liga, only 7.45% of others, which is a world of difference compared to the Premier League. Although the main audience of Serie A is in the local and American, let’s just talk about the many fans of Inter Milan, Milan and Juventus in Asia. Can Serie A think more about how to attract them? Maybe it can add fuel to the league's income.
Finally, look at the European Games prize money. Paris currently has a total prize of nearly 138 million euros, and he can win another 10.5 million; Tottenham, the highest in the Europa League, is expected to be 46 million, and only 26th among the 108 teams; Chelsea, the highest in the Europa League, wins the championship for up to 22 million. From this perspective, why the Premier League team is more "home-loving" and understands - who can earn at least 130 million euros in 38 league games, a stable and profitable business, who is not willing to do it?
From the wealth of the Premier League to the short-scoring Serie A, the "rich and poor gap" in the five major leagues is becoming increasingly obvious. I wonder if other leagues can find ways to narrow the gap in the future, so that this "money-sharing drama" will be less sighing and more lively?
