It leads me to a slightly different discussion. If half the country is watching your game \u2014 and they&#8217;re watching it for free,\u2014 how many of those people would pay a big sum of money to watch the game?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Skipper claimed, &#8220;If it was only a quarter of the households who were willing to pay $250 to have a party at their house, it would still get you into the billions of dollars for a single game. And that is the single best way I can think of for the NFL to increase their revenue annual take for their clubs; is to make the Super Bowl a pay-per-view event.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8874\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8874\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-8874\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Chiefs-vs-Eagles2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1904\" height=\"948\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Chiefs-vs-Eagles2.png 1904w, https:\/\/www.boundingintosports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Chiefs-vs-Eagles2-300x149.png 300w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Chiefs-vs-Eagles2-1340x667-1.png 1340w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Chiefs-vs-Eagles2-768x382-1.png 768w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Chiefs-vs-Eagles2-750x373-1.png 750w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Chiefs-vs-Eagles2-1200x597-1.png 1200w\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8874\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Super Bowl LVII: Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles via NFL YouTube<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The former ESPN executive is right in many ways.
