Why aren't all MLS games televised for free?

Question

How can they think of being more popular if you have to pay like $50 to watch all the games on PPV.I don't think it's worth it.I would rather watch Mexican games for free.And the games are usually more interesting.

Answer 1

in my opinion MLS is one of the worst leagues in the world so not worth watching.. but u really want to use some online streamer like a TVU player or freeviewfootball.com might broadcast them

Answer 2

Serious.

Cool thing about Mexican league is that EVERY game is televised, at least here in LA.

And Mexican games compared with MLS are far more exciting, have higher quality of play, better pitches, better aesthetics, better crowd character, and much much better commentary (whether you understand Spanish or not).

If MLS were smart it would televise every game in HD...to try to build a nationwide fan base. Now they got practically nuthin.

Answer 3

telefutura broadcasts some of them

Answer 4

the league is young and not as rich as many would think. Heck man, the salary cap for each team is $2.5 million (some players around the world make more than that!!) in addition to one player that that only counts as $400,000 toward the salary cap but can get paid as much as the owner desires (ex: Beckham, Blanco).  As an avid MLS fan, I would love the games to be free but i understand why its not. But once the revenue starts flowing in after a few more years, free MLS games would only benefit the league
