A new poster trying to justify 75p per XL subscriber per month to me screams Eleven posting to try and steer negotiations. Considering much of the content was viewed by the small thousands of viewers while on much larger platforms I’m not sure it justifies £15m a year.
BT bring to the table Premiership rights and Champions League rights worth hundreds of millions per year to the table and content viewed by millions.

El Classico used to get 500K+ other big games 200,000-300,000+. In addition they have UFC rights...not my thing but the yoof of today love that stuff. If BT started at £3 per month then 75p sounds about right to me.
Doubt it will appear tomorrow...but there is more than 1 El Classico a season.
I don't know how Premier Sports can command £9.99 per month with the rubbish they have got, subscribers must be minuscule. Don't know how they survive?
