Unless there's something left for them(team owners) why would they invest ?
They own the team, they can merchandise. Team jerseys, shorts, caps, bags, socks, undergarments, wrist bands, books(notepad), jackets ..etc. can be manufactured and sold. Revenue will be generated, money will be made.
Now the uniform that players will be wearing will sport the owners brand. For example--> Mallya's team will have
Kingfisher's logo or
McDowells logo, in place of
SAHARA(team India
). Now Mallya is directly advertising his beer/airline/drinks through his team.
On the team's uniform too the owner has right to sell different areas. The shirt itself can sport 4-5 brands at different positions. On sleeves , collar, pocket area, other sleeve. And 2 brands on pant/trousers near pocket area. So scope of money making is immense.
Then teams have..
1. Official bank sponsor
2. Official media sponsor
3. Official hospitality sponsor
4. Official tech. sponsor
and a sponsor for almost everything. I've even seen a official
MINERAL water sponsor
Team will feature in
TV commercials money earned will be shared between players and team owner.
Venue tickets: If in future
IPL takes the shape of
EPL then money making avenues will flood. Teams(home) will have their own stadiums, and revenue will be generated by selling tickets. And also from parking space around
, providing eatables at higher prices
and in many other innumerable ways that an innovative mind can think of.
