Buriram United still head the table for gate receipts and merchandise sales on matchdays. This is despite having a very disappointing season. Their income was more than DOUBLE that of champions Muang Thong, leaving no-one in any doubt which is the biggest club in Thailand.
The Thai League as a whole brought in over 200 million baht.
Add to that Buriram’s remarkable merchandise sales other than on match days and it is clear that they are out on their own regarding total income.
