I believe VM are not paying very much due to the fact they was a new channel with only 25 games of Premier League football a season not many take sky sports with VM and so even less would take ESPN. Two more years and we will be paying as most likely the deal was to the next premier league TV rights bin. I bet that the cost of a HD channel per customer is getting us the whole espn package. ESPN then get away with it due increased tv ad money plus they have Disney behind them.
