If you bothered to read you would see i have said "it's a big if" about Amazon or Facebook getting rights, also i stated earlier in the thread if Amazon did get rights they would likely make a pass for it where'd it incure a extra charge.

For someone who goes by "facts' you haven't actually offered any.
Your first foray into this thread today was a misguided attempt to imply I didn't know what I was talking about when it was
you confusing the difference between having the money and it being a worthwhile investment.
It's a monumental effort to return in excess of £5bn over three years, indeed neither Sky or BT do this alone. Sky have built up a customer base and rights portfolio over 30 years. BT have status as an incumbent in telephony/broadband and used the rights to consolidate their positions in both markets.
The facts are the value of the rights fell last time out and Amazon made no meaningful bids in the first round of bidding. Unless someone can point out how the market will radically change between now and 2021 I see no reason to change my stance on this.
If the aim is to sell Prime and gain market share for their shopping website this could be far more easily be achieved with lower value sports rights, at lower risk and higher return on investment.
