2,50,00,000 for the Hockey winners. And ileague guys dont even get trophy
There is money in hockey cause the national team is doing well in it with FIH rank of 7....anyways hockey is the national sport...until national football team does not improve nothing can be done abt the status of I league or fan following
Atleast we should try to make TV telecast appealing to viewers. Star Sports coverage of HIL was good. ten Action coverage leaves a lot to be desired. Also, we need more sponsors-During half time we are witnessing some rubbish documentaries in ten-action.Some uruguay player discussing his club career in 1980s. Even DD Sports is better then Tenaction.
Marketing of European Leagues especially EPL has been excellent. I remember MSD in an ad for the EPL. It all boils down to the honest desire of the parent body. What you think about the AIFF when they organize the Federation Cup within a span of some 12/13 days ? Isn't the Federation Cup India's Premier knock out tournament ? I saw the otherday the Biil boards being placed out side the touch lines and goal lines after the kick off in Mohun Bagan - Churchill Brothers match and the process took a good 10 m... surely this could have been done before the start of the telecast. In our country, unfortunately key positions in Sports Bodies are occupied by the guys who do not know ABCD of that sports, they come under the influence of their political background and can we expect anything better from them ? The Ten Action's telecast quality as well as deployment of commentators (Novy Kapadia takes the cake here) make viewing a forgettable experience. Here the parent body has tp step in.. their role is not over as soon as they get the money from the Television Company. They must intervene if the quality is aweful. I am sure AIFF do not have any such clause in their contract. So what to do...... just as beggars have no choice... enjoy the aweful camera work and Novy Kapadia's rubbish!!
