IPLとPSLの賞金の比較

Indian Premier League vs Pakistan Super League, over the years, this talk has grown all over strongly, and recently, with reports surfacing that PSL is targeting all the unsold players from the recently held IPL mega auction, it shows that PSL is looking to make a dominance just like IPL has currently. But is this going to be that easy? Surely not, as there are many parameters to evaluate this from, from viewership perspective to revenue.

If we see the first one, the IPL is extremely in charge when it comes to viewership since the tournament has been a big brother to this league. So it was obvious that they came and checked all the marquee things first. It was reported that IPL 2024 shattered many records and was watched by 620 million live-stream viewers. JioCinema, also Star Sports, which has the TV rights for the tournament, saw up to 510 million viewers for the tournament’s initial games, showing how big the league is.

But how about the revenue perspective? Is IPL’s prize money bigger than PSL’s as well? The answer is yes, but how much? Let’s compare both leagues’ prize money over the years and check where both IPL vs PSL stand on this parameter.

Just like the viewership perspective, currently, the prize money is also making IPL the best league among these two. Also, before IPL 2024, there was news that IPL is the world’s second-biggest league in terms of per-match value, only behind the NFL. Not only this, but if we compare the PSL 2024 champion’s prize money, it was also less than the WPL prize money. While the PSL 2024 winners received 4.13 crore, the WPL champions, RCB, received 6 crores.
