The Sports rights Amazon picks up will be smaller ones and rights it can exploit across multiple territories.
I could see Amazon bidding for some of the non-Uk rights when they are renewed, but have to agree - the only possible benefit to them (or any new bidder) would be to get their toe in the water.

Sky and BT can each have 1 of the remaining packages because the rules state no one broadcaster can have more than 5 packages (currently Sky have 4 and BT 1)
