Didn't someone at Liberty/VM say not so long ago, that they wern't interested in owning premium content, especially sport?....

I think VM said that they're not interested in buying sports content in the UK market as it's too competitive a marketplace. LGI does have a sports channel in the Netherlands.
Other sister Liberty companies have always had long-term involvement in sport. Discovery's Eurosport for example. And Liberty Media owns the Atlanta Braves Major League Baseball team too.
