Pay per view boxing is not a streaming phenomenon- it’s been with us for years. I don’t think sport will ever be sold cheaply, whether by way of conventional broadcasting or by streaming. However, if you only watch one kind of sport (eg football) I believe that this will end up cheaper than Sky.
The cheaper TV via streaming I have been on about has really been all about drama, news and documentaries rather than sport and I acknowledge that it is a lot less clear how prices will turn out there. I think that those who like watching a range of different sports may be the ones to lose out, but it all depends on which providers pick up the most sports rights.

I see even streaming providers such as Roku are vulnerable to channel disputes.
