Other than the fact that the deal hasn't been completed at this stage?

It's not realistic, VM had HBO content on demand before Sky Atlantic appeared on the scene. Sky just made HBO an offer they couldn't refuse and gained exclusive access to the content as a result. If VM get into a bidding war for content, they probably won't win... and even if they did win, they would have paid too much and their customers would end up paying over the odds.
