Lionel Messi has been placed in an important way at Inter Miami for the current season. After arriving as a free agent from PSG, the Argentine, together with his family, decided to accept the challenge of Inter Miami in David Beckham's franchise and finally place himself in soccer in the United States.

 

It is no secret that Lionel Messi had more offers before coming to the MLS, as is the case in the Arab league with Al Hilal. However, the player ended up accepting the MLS proposal with Inter Miami, where he now receives an amount close to 50 million dollars a year, but also has an agreement with the streaming platform that sponsors the league, where the player gets a percentage of each new subscriber.

The iPhone maker signed a $250 million-a-year deal last year to secure global broadcast rights to MLS. The reality is that the platform plays an important role in the arrival of Lionel Messi, because a percentage was agreed for each new subscriber and now, the first numbers of the brand are revealed after Lionel Messi's first month in Miami.

 

How much did Lionel Messi make for Apple TV?

According to The Boardroom, Lionel Messi has brought in $265 million in ticket sales since coming to MLS. Apple TV has gained 300,000 new subscribers, making a profit of $29.7 million. A resounding success because it has only been in the United States for a month and if Inter Miami ends up qualifying for the playoffs, these numbers could grow more and more.
