All i see in the link is rugby super leagues richard lewis talking up the rights just before renewal to force the bidding up all rights holders do it,i would be very surprised no make that astounded if ESPN bid against sky in any meaningful way they are too closely bound to have a big fallout, as ESPN themselves have said in some areas we will not be bidding against sky and are happy to be second placed, sky also do ESPNS marketing in the uk and possibly europe and as ESPN also say they piggy back off sky in the USA.


It does not take much working out although they have deep pockets i cannot see them going head to head with sky no matter how much people may wish.
