Major League Baseball Sees Record $9 Billion In Revenues For 2014

Record 9 Billion in Revenues

This 2014 year the MLB can almost look back and say some very good news. The league will see approximately $9 billion in gross revenues for the 2014 calendar year with this being a new record. There is still more calculations that need to be done with that amount that could bring that number up just a little. But that number is up from being $8 billion just last year, that is an increase of 13 percent. The reason for the increase is that the league saw revenues double form new broadcast deals with their national network partners like FOX, ESPN, and TBS that summed up of an additional $788.3 million a year.


That is a lot of fricken money! The MLB is sitting pretty right now. With a one billion 13% gross revenue increase in just one year, you know someone is doing something right there. I don't think they should stop there they should try to expand the MLB into different countries just like how the NFL is trying to do that could possible bring in even more money.
