Trouble is BT and Sky are encroaching on Premier Sports' territory. Sky has added GAA and has displaced Premier Sports from the Super League (rughby).
I know beIN Sport is not a 100% commercial operation but I don't think that they will enter the UK as it is too crowded a market. As well as BT and Sky firing on all cylinders, Discovery now has raised its stake in Eurosport from 20% to 51% and promises investment in rights too. I think beIN could find some far better territories than the UK.
