First of all, as long as Milan wins the league and win the CL once in every few years. I really don't mind if Serie A is a weak league.
Secondly, Serie A as a whole is a very crappy product compare to the EPL, Liga, and even Bude. I am not talking about the quality of the teams but just the quality as a product. Say all you want about Serie A being the most tactical and technical league....and true fans of football would enjoy Serie A more than the speed of EPL or Liga....Truth is 90% of the people who pay and watches football on TV ain't true fans of soccer, heck, some of them might not even play the game before. They watch it for ENTERTAINMENT, for GOALS, for STARS. As of now, EPL is the byfar the most entertaining league in the world and it is fair that EPL gets the most TV revenue of all the top leagues.
Liga is entertaining only if one of the teams is Barca or Real due to their star appeal and BRAND.
German league is just behind but they style of play is still more exciting than Serie A.
Some of you might say Serie A got stars and Milan, Inter, Juve and even Roma is a Brand... Fact is, ever since Kaka left and the decline of Totti and Dinho, there is not a true and recognizable star in Serie A. Just look at all the commericals of Nike, Addias and Puma. How many of those players are from Serie A in comparsion to EPL, Liga and German League.
Thats just one of the many problems Serie A has.
As a whole, a lot has to change in order for Serie A to be a competitive product to EPL, Liga and German League. Sadly, I don't see that happening anytime soon.
