If ESPN think they can make money by being the main player and not just being second fiddle, they will go for it. But if they think they can make more by just being the second player, then that is what they'll be.

It's all about the money.
Exactly ESPN are happy to play second fiddle and still make a profit , their main market is in the US and that is where they fight tooth and nail to keep rights.
