Multiple billion pound bid ?

You do realise that both BT and Sky combined are paying the Premier League nearly £4.6 billion in its latest rights deal.

The Middle East and China plus other overseas markets are growth markets some netting the Premier League nearly double the previous rights , I can't see the league committing all their global rights to one provider it just wouldn't make sense.

As for bundling multi billion dollar UK rights into a Prime subscription how much is that likely to push up Prime especially for those who don't like Football.
