The Middle East and China plus other overseas markets are growth markets sum netting the Premier League nearly double the previous rights , I can't see the league commuting 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.
Given what Sky and BT charge you would be talking about a pretty big rise and that would not go down well with the many millions of Prime customers who do not like football or any other sport.
