Unlike the various domestic championships run by the national federations in Europe, the KHL is a business. They are doing everything they do for a reason - money. While that money might not be coming in just yet, we are talking about a league that is only a few years old. Don't worry, they know exactly what they're doing. The NHL has been around for 80 more years than the KHL. In 80 years I would not be surprised at all if the KHL was pulling in similar revenue.

The League itself is already profitable (starting with this season), but none of the franchises are.
