Does NFL have more expenses relative to revenue than NBA and NHL?

By Tangotiger, 03:22 PM

The NFL pays out 53% of their revenue, and they want that reduced to 48%.  The NBA and NHL pay out above 55%.  It looks something like this:
NHL: 3 billion$ revenue, 1.3 billion$ to owners
NFL: 9 billion$ revenue, 4.7 billion$ to owners

Why does the NFL, with its extra 6 billion$ in revenue need to take 3.4 billion$ of that for themselves?  What is it about the NHL business model that is more efficient than NFL?
