Lovers of
the round leather game will tell you that the kind of excitement and intrigue
they get from following the English Premier League cannot be matched or rivaled
in any way by the Spanish La Liga. The English Premiership and the Spanish
La Liga both belong to the top five football leagues in Europe but one stands
tall than the other.
The English
premiership is watched every week by millions of viewers all over the world
little wonder why it's the most watched football league among other European
leagues. The fan base of the premiership is way higher than whatever the La
Liga has to offer.
The English
Premier League (EPL) is the kind of league where nothing is promised, and the
intrigue is second to none, unlike the La Liga where you can easily predict the
outcome of certain matches. In the EPL, the surprise factor is so high compared
to what's obtainable in La Liga.
The revenue
gotten from television rights is more in the EPL compared to what is shared
among club sides in Spain. While clubs such as Real Madrid and Barcelona get
way more than the remaining 18 teams in that league. According to Google.com If
a comparison is made among the 5 big soccer leagues, the Premier League is
by far the one that receives the most money for overseas TV rights. The EPL is
the only league to cash in more than €1 bn in a season (€1.58bn), followed by
LaLiga (€897m), Serie A (€371m), Bundesliga (€240m) and Ligue 1, with €80m.
Regarding viewership
across the top five leagues, the EPL is watched by a wider audience compared to
the La Liga. According to Google, the
English Premier League dominates Bundesliga, Ligue 1, La Liga and
Serie A, attracting 3.2 billion TV viewers.
As the new
season draws near it is left to be seen if the La Liga can overtake the English
Premiership in terms of viewers and global appeal, only time will tell.
