      Premier League prize money: How much can each term earn in the 2022/23 season?

      by

      THE Premier League is the most lucrative league in the world and all 20 clubs are guaranteed to earn huge sums from simply just being in the division.But how much can each team get in the 2022/23 season?
      Premier League prize money explained
      The league has not made prize money public since halfway through the previous decade but the breakdown is known and that means estimates can easily be calculated.
      And teams will take home even more this season, with the broadcast pot rising from last term’s figure of around £2.5billion.
      The team that become champions will bag over £160m, but even teams that finish in the bottom three and drop out of the division will make over £100m from prize money alone.
      The league is able to do so part in thanks to the Premier League’s enormous international fanbase and the fortunes made in TV rights agreements.

      Premier League prize money position breakdown
      Unsurprisingly, the teams at the top of the table took home the most prize money in the 2021/2022 season, with champions Manchester City banking £161.3m, while close runners-up Liverpool received £159.8m, the Mirror reported.

      Manchester City £161.3m
      Liverpool £159.8m
      Tottenham £152.1m
      Chelsea £151.7m

      Burnley £106.1m
      Watford £104.6m
      Norwich £100.3m.

      How much do Premier League clubs get paid for being on TV?
      The Premier League is the most watched league in the world and has billions of worldwide viewers annually.
      Most read in The Sun
      Its popularity has meant the league has been able to negotiate huge TV deals that benefit clubs throughout the division.
      Every team in the league gets an equal TV rights base payment.
      Last season this was reportedly around £84m.

      Teams will then get additional payments depending on how often they’re chosen to appear on TV.
      Alongside this, a merit payment system reflects where each team finishes in the table, which each place thought to be worth around £2.2m. More

      What is the difference between horsehair and foam-padded boxing gloves? Anthony Joshua picks NEW gloves

      by

      BOXING often throws up plenty of disagreement and conflict, especially between some of the sport’s biggest stars on fight week. While there are no disagreements this week, Anthony Joshua has picked a new pair for his rematch with Oleksandr Usyk.

      A particularly contentious part of fight week is glove selection, where both fighters and their respective camps will inspect and choose the gloves they will where on fight night.
      Often, this is a smooth process, but as seen with Tyson Fury’s third fight with Deontay Wilder, it’s not always plain-sailing.
      Wilder had already thrown accusations about the legality of Fury’s gloves for their second fight in 2020, and the Bronze Bomber wasn’t happy when Fury selected the same style of glove for the trilogy.
      Fury famously wears horsehair material gloves, while Wilder has worn foam padding in his throughout his career, and both are legal.
      But who do fighters get so antsy over glove selection? SunSport have rounded up all you need to know about one of the key formalities of fight week, and the differences between the two types of glove.

      What is the difference between horsehair and foam-padded boxing gloves?
      It sounds self-explanatory – one gloves has horsehair in it, the other has foam.
      But the use of horsehair in gloves, a tradition nearly as old as the sport, has been hotly-contested in recent years.
      Horsehair padding provides the glove with less protection to both your hands, and your opponent’s face, therefore it favours those in the ring who consider themselves to be a knockout artist, or someone with really heavy hands.
      Horsehair gloves are durable, though they absorb sweat easier, thus wearing the padding down quicker than that of their foam relatives.
      Dubbed a ‘puncher’s glove’ horsehair gloves are often used by fighters with a come-forward Mexican style of fighting, or those seeking stoppages in their fights, much like Fury did against Wilder.
      Fury wore Paffen branded gloves for both the rematch and the trilogy against Wilder, after he employed Kronk coach SugarHill Steward to train him to KO the American.
      Paffen gloves use horsehair padding, unlike the majority of modern boxing gloves which use foam padding.
      Most read in Boxing
      Following their second fight, in which Wilder was stopped in seven rounds, the Alabama native complained Fury’s gloves had an insufficient amount of padding in them, and that Fury’s punches left a dent in his face.
      Wilder usually wears Everlast Powerlock gloves, which uses a PVC foam and latex material for padding.
      Foam padded gloves have become more popular over the past two decades, as they keep your hands protected and they absorb shock better than horsehair gloves do.
      Once Wilder found out that Fury would be using the same gloves for their trilogy, however, he opted to use Everlast MX instead, a horsehair-foam mix, in order to even the playing field.
      Another fighter who was opposed to horsehair gloves was Floyd Mayweather, who often had it written into his fight contracts that his opponents weren’t allowed to use gloves with that type of padding.
      Conor McGregor was famously banned from using horsehair for their fight back in 2017.

      And Marcos Maidana had to change his gloves from horsehair to foam in 2014 on fight week after Mayweather came away from glove inspection less than impressed with the Argentine’s choice of glove.
      Maidana ended up wearing Grant branded gloves, which Mayweather wore for most of his storied career.
      Grant gloves are known as the best gloves on the market for those who want their hands to be ultra-protected, and they were perfect for Mayweather, who often suffered with hand injuries.

      And they will be putting their heads together to see how they can defeat Wolves this weekend.
      But who exactly is Cristian Stellini?
      Who is Cristian Stellini?
      Born April 27, 1975, Cristian Stellini is Antonio Conte’s assistant manager and a former professional footballer.
      Read More on Tottenham Hotspur
      Conte’s right hand man was raised in Italy and spent his teenage years playing for Novara and Spal before making the switch to Serie C2 outfit Ternana in October 1996.
      Stellini inspired Ternana to Serie B promotion two years after signing for the club, and by 2002, the Italian coach was making his Serie A debut for Como against Empoli.
      However, Cristian announced himself to the world when he signed for Juventus in 2003 but unfortunately, a serious leg injury only saw him feature twice before being sold to Genoa.

      What happened in Cristian Stellini’s early coaching days?
      Stellini was appointed by Conte at Tottenham in September 2021 but the Italian also worked under Conte at Juventus in 2012.

      However, Stellini was forced to resign from his posting of technical assistant at Juventus for alleged match fixing where he was suspended for two and a half years.
      And once Stellini was eligible to coach again, he was dismissed from Lega Pro club Alessandra after signing a two-year contract for poor results.
      But Antonio Conte hired Stellini again as a managerial staff for Inter Milan in the 2019/20 season and the pair went on to clinch the Scudetto together. More

      Is West Ham vs Brighton on TV? Live stream, team news and kick-off time for Premier League match

      by

      WEST HAM return to Premier League action with a mouth-watering clash against in-form Brighton and they’ll be desperate for three points.Former Championship side Nottingham Forest forced the Hammers to swallow a bitter pill by marginally beating them at the City Ground last Saturday.

      And this result came off the back of a disappointing 2-0 defeat by Champions of England Manchester City on the opening weekend.
      However, spirits have been lifted since then as £30.5 million signing Gianluca Scamacca inspired David Moyes’ side to a midweek 3-1 in their Europa Conference League playoff.
      But Brighton are yet to lose a game this season which includes embarrassing Manchester United at Old Trafford.
      What time does West Ham vs Brighton kick off?

      West Ham will be entertaining Brighton on Sunday, August 21.
      It is scheduled to kick-off at 2pm UK time.
      London Stadium in East London is the allocated arena for this fixture and it can host approximately 60,000 spectators.
      Brighton completed a comeback to secure all three points when these two sides last met on the final day of the 2021/22 season.

      Is West Ham vs Brighton on TV and can I live stream it?

      Sadly, West Ham vs Brighton will NOT be broadcasted live on television in the UK.
      This has nothing to do with the football TV black out law, it just wasn’t selected to have any live coverage.
      However fans in the US can head to Peacock to stream the entire action.

      Team news
      David Moyes was able to rest a lot of key players for West Ham’s Europa Conference League playoff win against Viborg FF.
      Most read in Football
      But the Hammers boss is expected to bring the likes of Aaron Cresswell, Kurt Zouma, Lukasz Fabianski, Declan Rice and Michail Antonio all back into the fold.
      Defensive veteran Angelo Ogbonna will also be pushing for a start having got 65 minutes under his belt after being side-lined since last season.
      Elsewhere, Brighton manager Graham Potter will only have to continue without the services of Jakub Moder.
      However, Potter could have a selection headache on whether he hands summer signing Pervis Estupinan his full debut at wing-back against West Ham.
      Latest odds

      West Ham to win 13/10
      Draw 12/5
      Brighton to win 11/5
