Please explain to me: NBA v NHL
The NHL pays out around 55% of their revenue to the players (it’s 54% as the base, then marginal values above thresholds are paid out at 55%, 56%, 57%). The NBA is insisting it should pay out at 50% (when they used to pay 57%).
The NBA and NHL have plenty of overlap: they play is many of the same cities, sharing the same arenas, with the same number of games in the regular season, and a very similar playoff format. Their seasons cover similar months.
So, what are the differences that would cause one to pay 55% and the other 50%?
Is it how hockey-related revenues (HRR) are calculated, compared to basketball-related income (BRI)? Does it have to do with pension, or other parts of the compensation system? Is there someone out there that follows both who can tell me?
