"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Miami Heat owner Micky Arison revealed that the team will probably lose money again next season. (Joe Murphy/Getty Images)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Miami Heat owner Micky Arison revealed in July that he expects his team to lose money again next season, according to a CNBC report from Darren Rovell. He said owning the team is \"a hobby of passion, it's not a business.\"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Arison admitted that the Heat have been in the red every year since he took ownership in 1995, except for last season when LeBron James brought the city its second NBA Championship:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u201CThe reality is we\u2019re not a big market team,\u201D Arison told CNBC. \u201CMinnesota is a larger market than Miami. Where we find ourselves struggling is our local TV revenue is smaller than big markets and despite sellouts we\u2019re only seventh or eighth in gate revenues. Obviously our payrolls are up and our revenues are not because of the limitations of our market.\u201DHe also said that the new collective bargaining agreement negotiated before the season between the players and owners \"works against us.\" He estimates that while the New York Knicks and Los Angeles Lakers made up to $150 million in television rights, the Heat are closer to $20 million.&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
