As the players from across the world are walking with the tags around their neck, the BCCI, the franchise owners and the other stake holders are busy making things commercially feasible and economically sustainable. The billion dollar question is – Will IPL work? if, yes then how?
Irrespective of whether it is a success or a failure, the mastermind of IPL, Mr. Lalit Modi has played his mind in such a way that it will keep the BCCI’s cash register ringing. It is set to pocket around $723.6 million through the auction of eight big Indian city teams to some of India’s biggest business houses like GMR, India Cement, Reliance etc. It has already sold television rights for $918 million to Sony and World Sports Group (WSG) for a period of 10 years. WSG has also been sold the marketing and promotional rights for another $108 million. Most of this ($1.06 billion) will be distributed amongst the franchise owners, but BCCI still will be making money. IPL has also raised $72 million from giving title sponsorship to DLF ($50 million) and title co-sponsorship to Hero Honda ($22 million).

Just thought of sharing some good stuff about plastic money and how we can change life using the same. Many of us feel that plastic money is referred to money spent by only credit cards but it includes debit cards as well.
There is a conception that credit cards make you spend money exceeding your budget as you tend to loose track [...]
