Soccer - Barca, Real and Bilbao challenge LaLiga CVC deal


MADRID (Reuters) - Barcelona, Real Madrid and Athletic Bilbao all announced on Friday that they were challenging LaLiga's private equity investment deal with CVC.

'Boost LaLiga', which was ratified last month by 38 of 42 clubs across Spain's top two divisions and is worth a reported 2.2 billion euros ($2.58 billion), means CVC would receive 11% of revenue from television rights over the next 50 years in exchange for pouring money into LaLiga.
