Iranian Football Clubs Denied Hefty Broadcasting Rights

Competitive sport has become a global billion-dollar industry due in large part to intellectual property rights and ever closer cooperation among the media, sponsors and sports organizations. 
Broadcasting of sports events, including football matches, have enabled billions of people all over the world to watch the games on television or other media platforms. Television and media organizations pay huge sums of money for the exclusive right to broadcast top sporting events live; and in return, they earn big bucks. 
Media rights are a big source of revenue for professional football clubs across the world. However, the story is totally different for Iranian football clubs.
