I have been saying about the match fixing scandal in IPL and how cricket is turned into a money making machine in the earlier blog. This time I have explored the new techniques taken by IPL for making tons of money, hell lot of money. Not Just that, IPL have confirmed that the IPL movie(Matches) are hitting theaters on March.
I would love to share these findings.
IPL LIVE ON YOU TUBE
Do you know how much money they are going to make by giving away the live feed to Youtube?
It is estimated that around 10 million population to view each match. This is going increase the total revenue that youtube earns $9.51 per second atleast by $.001 per second.Imagine one match is watched by 1 million people, its 3 hours(180). By a small calculation we can tell, $180000 is earned by google per match. Though google hasn't confirmed on how much they paid, but more likely they have inked an agreement to share the rights in internet where they will share the revenue with IPL. So close to 30% of money google receives will be shared with IPL.
The worst part is google is planning for separate ads for IPL matches. This will increase their previous earning - $.001 per second atleast by 10%. They will earn $1.6 billion in two years, which is nothing but our own money.
Friends we have to think, what money paid as taxes and interest are transfered around the world. So far we have seen politicians take away own money, now its sports turn.We need to wake up atleast for this.
IPL is live in Theaters
There were times when India vs Pakistan matches and other world cup matches were telecasted to encourage sports along with patriotism.Now no more. As warned earlier this IPL is a cricket killer disease, now it will be released in theaters, like our South superstar Rajini movie. This is the shame for the game. Over 1000 screens will be screening IPL matches all over India. Many Multiplexes including Fame, PVR and Inox have signed up. Lalit Modi have planned for cheerleaders and film personalities/dj's and Cinema Jockeys to entertain us. In fact,the theater and multiplex owners accepted to screen IPL as few movies are due screening that time.
Prices will be around Rs.100-250 though there will be a hike during Semi Finals and Finals.There are even plans to make the Semi Finals and Finals in 3-D Quality.
I don't understand. Are we just a dolls to accept whatever he does? They can do anything to spoil cricket, we just keep quiet and watching that. Friends these are ways to earn and not give cricket. Please stop this, lets boycott this IPL.
As you know already IPL sponsors are nobody other than the grocery manufacturers, medicine, food, drinks,textile and cosmetic manufacturers. They will naturally increase the price to accommodate such huge sponsorships. Drops can make ocean.Please join me to boycott IPL. This will kill cricket and make us more weak.We want entertainment, but not this way.Killing a sport and putting ourselves in trouble.
Please think.
Thank you for reading the post.

April 15, 2010 at 2:39 PMDude, if you are expecting comments/views it can be both +ve and -ve. So in your "reactions", you gotta have both end of the spectrum... I was searching for something negative to click
April 16, 2010 at 10:59 AMYou've gotta be kidding with your statements. It is similar to most of the other leagues like Spanish League, EPL, NBA, NFL, NHL, Bundes Liga, La Liga, FIA. etc... No of the other sports have vanished with any of this hype and hoopla. In fact there are even some non-commercial organizations (like UNICEF for Barcelona) sported by teams on their jerseys... If you are jealous about people making money, I pity your thoughts... Good luck mate
April 16, 2010 at 11:03 AMBullshit...What do you want want exactly? all major leagues works like diz..u jus shut up....I liked your WTC article and too from somebody else...Why u cooking up stories on ur own? wtever numbers and figures u have given here are fine...its a business if u cant do let others do...If this is cheating, why do u go for a movie, or 3d movie paying 600 700...Wen technology allows you to bring the Sports to close to audience why cant we go for it...and dat costt 200 or even 500 is not high for the sports man...u spending 300 to 600 for a movie to see some girls dancing half naked...wat do u call dat?
