I’m quite sure many media companies could leverage existing assets in order to fund the rights. However nobody is going to sacrifice profits without an underlying business model to monetise the rights and see a return on investment. At £1.5bn a year risk the return would have to be substantial.
I could sell my house and afford more luxurious things than I ordinarily could. That doesn’t make me necessarily wealthier in the long run.
