I've been reading a lot about this but its hard to get fact from fiction,some are saying ESPN may have to pay so much for EPL they will have to drop the current deal with VM.

Others are saying they are tied into the VM deal for while, then some are saying AJ have not actually put in a bid, On digitalspy there is a user called MT11 I think is the name but he seems to have a lot of insider info, go look him up. What is a fact is Sky currently pay around £500 million for there rights.

They could afford to double it but they would need to add around £4 a month per SkySports subscriber. AJ have money but not to throw at EPL as Sky have a current 7million subscribers plus 1 million from VM/BT ect. AJ do not have this so I doubt they would offer much more than Sky.
