Dude, I believe that you are still stuck in the 20th century. Arabian leagues are some of the most popular in the world now. Saudi Professional League is now watched across the globe and the signing of Ronaldo by Al Nassr has further increased the popularity of the league. And in the next few years, the situation will change further. Saudi Arabian monarchy has big plans related to sports events and they are trying really hard to win the hosting rights for the 2030 FIFA World Cup. And Ronaldo is just the tip of the iceberg. Don't be surprised if you see star players such as Kylian Mbappé and Neymar representing the SPL sides within the next few years.
- did anyone here follow the saudi arabia league before ronaldo went to play there?
- how many times do people watch full games of this league?
- how many players from this league do people know?
- How many games in this league have people placed bets on?
I ask you:
do you watch the full games of this league?
for example, today they had the following games:
Dhamk 1 - 0 Al Batem
did anyone here watch this game for 90 minutes? who are the famous players of that team? Does anyone know all the players on that team? can you tell me if the game was good or bad? and what part of the game did you like?
about mbappe and messi, let's see: messi and mbappe could earn a lot of money going to saudi arabia, but then i ask you: why don't they move to saudi arabia tomorrow? let me see: they are waiting to get old to go play in saudi arabia, but why is that? try to guess? do you really think that if ronaldo had been invited by a big team he would have gone to that amateur league?
do you really think that this amateur league competes with la liga? bundesliga? ligue 1? premier league? brazil league? portugal league? series A? turkey league? I see many comments from Portuguese and Brazilians laughing at Ronaldo for going to play in this end of the world
Probably the only measure the Premier League has been ahead of is commerce, but what does that have to do with sports? In addition, we know how many frauds and dirty schemes were used there.
That's why La Liga could win all the europa and ucl they want, but people will tune in for the premier league weekend games and they won't do the same thing for la liga, well they will, but not as much as EPL. Does that make any sense? Like why is la liga better and premier league watched more? I do not know, it doesn't make sense to me neither but it simply does.
Okay, but I don’t argue that for some parameters (and especially for parameters close to commerce) the Premier League is in first place, but in my opinion, according to the totality of parameters (mainly sports), La Liga dominated at that time.
As for the number of viewers and other media metrics, this is always controversial for me, because you know that the number of audience does not always mean the quality of the content.
premier league has no comparison, in la liga only barcelona and real madrid and atletico madrid have games that attract people, at least in my case i would only watch games of these 3 teams. but in the premier we have: arsenal, tottenham, liverpool, chelsea, manchester united, manchester city, and even the teams that are in the relegation zone have been playing very well. I happen not to regret spending time watching the game of two teams from the relegation zone of the premier league. Of course, La Liga also has good games, but the Premier League is the best.
