In 'Messi-Mania', MLS and Apple made as much income in one and a half months

 

Did Lionel Messi step into the United States just to help Inter Miami win the title? If your answer is 'yes', then you are wrong. Because, not only for Miami, but Messi has set foot in the United States to change the country's football, to take it a few steps forward.

Be it from the business side or considering the quality of football. There is no opportunity to discuss how much the standard of football has increased in the first month and a half since Messi joined. However, the information about how much Major League Soccer (MLS) earned under his influence has been revealed.

Inter Miami welcomed Messi on July 16. And his US Soccer debut was on July 21 against Cruz Azul. In that match, Messi won the team with a great free kick at the last moment.

In total, he has played 9 matches for Miami, spent 744 minutes on the field, and scored 11 goals. Miami brought the League Cup trophy. He then took the team to the finals of the US Open Cup. 11-game winless streak in MLS, Miami rode his raft back to winning ways. Messi's influence on the field has also affected the business.

Boardroom, an American sports, music and entertainment company, said that since Messi's debut in the country's football, 26.5 million dollars of Inter Miami tickets have been sold, which is 2,883,470,000 taka in Bangladeshi currency.

It is assumed that the number of ticket sales will be so big after seeing the galleries of the stadium in the Miami match. Because, from that introduction phase of Messi in the Inter Miami jersey to the debut match and all the subsequent matches, a full gallery has been seen. And the ticket price? Skyscraper.

As you must know, Messi has a contract with 'Tech Giant' Apple. MLS matches can be seen on Apple TV Plus. A portion of the revenue from new subscribers watching matches will be given to Messi. Apple and MLS have a contract worth 2.5 billion dollars for about 10 years.

Boardroom reported that Apple TV has grown 30,000 subscriptions since Messi took the field for Miami, adding $30 million to the company's revenue. All in all, football is now a lucrative field in the United States. And Messi is all over him.
