I wouldn’t worry too much.
Despite the mythology around “deep pockets” streamers Sky are often hoovering up sports rights for less in real terms (indeed, sometimes even in pure cash terms) adjusted for inflation.
The EFL deal had a big headline figure but it was over five years. Production costs won’t be massive for anything they aren’t giving the showcase treatment to.
