veteran goalkeeper: The pact is the largest commercial deal in the history of Japanese sports, according to The Japan Times. The prize money on offer for the team that wins the 2017 league title increases to a whopping 2 billion, five times what Kashima, whose operating revenue is roughly 4 billion, pulled in for winning the championship this year. The J. League is pumping cash into the top flight in a bid to improve international competitiveness, using funds from a 10-year, 210 billion about 2 billion deal to sell digital online broadcasting rights to British-based Perform Group. I don't know how much of the prize money the club would dish out to the players but the extra cash would certainly make us work harder! Kashima's veteran goalkeeper, Hitoshi Sogahata, told Kyodo News with a laugh after the club completed a league and cup double in the Emperor's Cup final Sunday. But Antlers, who raked in 4 million in prize money for their magical run to the final of the Club World Cup, are investing more heavily than usual in their squad with the aim of reaping the financial rewards in the future. The prize money might not be enough to tempt J. League clubs to start offering the kind of eye-watering amounts of cash being spent on some of the world's leading players in the Chinese Super League.
