You might be right. When Setanta Sports went off air, can you remember how many people were angry posting Virgin must reduce the price of XL or I'm away to SKY etc... I think this forced Virgin to agree a very similar deal with ESPN when it launched.
I can fully understand why Virgin wouldn't want Premier Sports on XL. For me this channel, along with Box Nation should be available to customers on a subscription basis. If you want the channel, you need to pay for it. All though I want both channels, I'd find it very difficult to justify either or both being added to XL. I tried to make a case for Premier Sports being on XL however I have changed my mind.
