So you think people in Asia would rather watch Southampton vs West Ham compared to Napoli vs Bayern for example?

People rarely watch matches with outcomes that do not in anyway affect their favourite teams. I won't make out time to watch Napoli vs Bayern if the result has no effect on Arsenal. If i had free time? sure, i'll watch. But i'll also watch Southampton vs West Ham if i had nothing better to do.

People talking about international fans staying loyal to certain leagues and clubs are missing the bigger picture.
If it has the best players and a really great TV broadcasting deal everyone will watch.
15 years ago the IPL didn’t even exist now it’s the dominant force in cricket. They had no established brands like a Liverpool or Barcelona before this either.
If you asked someone what the Chennai Super Kings were they’d probably think it was a knock off cigarette brand.

That really great Tv deal won't happen without the PL teams, which was my intial point
Africa is 70%+ Madrid or Barcelona fans bro what are you on about. Francophone countries in general don't give a **** about the Prem.

We say that but it’s all up in the air. If the league gets some crazy private sector financial backing and member clubs can spend like mad with no FFP you’ll see a mass exodus of talent.
If the likes of Haaland, Mbappe and Messi are in this new league the TV contracts will follow. It’s what’s breakaway leagues in other sports have needed.

Well fair enough. But you are in the minority. Otherwise the championship league wouldn’t be so big. Napoli has played the best football in whole of Europe this season and I would bet majority here would watch Bayern vs Napoli than Southampton vs West Ham
500m-ish? Not like there aren't any Barca/Madrid fans outside those countries either, I've a cousin in Lagos who's a Barcelona fan.

probably, but Arsenal is just one of the EPL clubs though. Outside of the EPL big 4 Real/Barca are the only other clubs with a large following worldwide
Nah he doesn't lol

For a long time the best players in the world played in spain and dominated Europe though, didn't stop the EPL from running away from them in terms of broadcast money.

bars/viewing centers are where the overwhelming majority of Nigerians watch football, and these bars never put laliga matches on expect except for El Classico. And that was at the height of the Ronaldo-Messi rivalry. These days they barely put those on too because people just aren't even interested anymore.
Great analogy. Ikea is absolute garbage that's only everywhere because of the commercial power and savviness of its management, not because their stuff is actually good. They're more known for their kottböllar and donuts here than for Billy and Pax.
