The total earnings of the 20 Premier League clubs for the 16-17 season is expected to exceed £4.5 billion.

The Premier League earned almost £1.7 billion ($2.2 billion) more collectively than those in the Bundesliga.

The size of domestic and international TV rights sales, £2.8 billion per season, £8.4 billion in total over three years, is approximately double that of the Bundesliga’s own improved deals.
