The Board doesn't own the CPL. It sold it for peanuts some years ago. By the way, CPL is supposed to be this valuable asset, yet every year it still wants a bailout from the regional governments.

Go Figure!

My point still stands as to the massiveness of the purported viewership.

Dem figures relate to views and not viewers. But every year de CPL publish dese ambiguous stats in order to get Governments to provide dem did more concessions and bid higher for semi final and finals

...and Tridents in particular was tardy in making player payments.

I am trying to figure what is the game here with all these fake numbers, are they trying to sell to some Indian guy with stolen money?

Super bowl not even close !

In reply to FuzzyWuzzy

Don't we have a poster from Jamaica that's an administrator at the CPL that posts here, ask him?

He vanishes when questions are asks about the CPL?

If one uses a chef to do accounting results can be exaggerated.

Not so complicated. They selling to Caribbean governments--easy money.

Well the numbers include TV viewers, so I guess the owners of the teams should be seeing a return on their investments, that increase in TV revenue is not going directly to the CWI.
