Not to bang on about it but where do they make the money back if they “blow Sky out the water”? To achieve all this, on a global level of course, they’d need to buy the Bundesliga, La Liga, Serie A, all the North American sports and every other major sports event in every country in the world!
Tens (hundreds?) of billions per year just to enter an already crowded market and for what kind of profit margin? Any profit margin at all?
Liberty Global looks a snip at $20bn by comparison - and has access to most of the major sports rights anyway via third parties. Give everyone free Prime if they take all three services. The risk remains with the primary rights holder.
