The NRL's Unsettling Arithmetic: A Deal That Favors One Giant Over Many Others The National Rugby League (NRL) has secured a massive windfall from its recent $5.
3 billion, seven year deal with broadcasters Nine and Foxtel. While the league will receive a 90% increase in cash compared to its previous agreement, the disparity between the two media conglomerates is stark.
Nine will pay only 25% more than its current outlay, whereas Foxtel will shell out roughly double its previous deal, a staggering $520 million per year.
