ESPN are part of a multi national corporation owned by Disney/Hurst Corp which is valued at $75 Billion dollars twice the size of News Corp and Sky. IMO Sky will not try to dominate the Premier League rights bidding in the same way they have before, they simply cannot go toe to toe with ESPN and win, they have to much to lose. I am sure an accommodation will be made between the two and the cost of the rights will actually fall not that we will see any benefit.
