I'm not surprised that you cannot see how different ways of structuring income streams might prove more successful. It's always easier to look at possibilities in terms of binary choices. However, success often comes to people and organisations that have imagination.
Hahaha subtle insult there.

Amazon didn't so much stick their toe in the water as got handed the rights by the FAPL who are desperate to introduce an 'online' element. You seem to forget (or deliberately omit) the reserve price for the packages wasn't met in the first round of bidding.

Success may 'often' come to people and organisations with imagination. Failure always comes to organisations that have business models that do not work. Setanta Sports and soon to be Eleven Sports being examples, one in the 'old' world and one in the 'new' world the principle remains the same. Streaming technology doesn't exempt new entrants from the basics of economics.
