Same for pretty much every sport. They get more money by selling their rights than setting up their own dedicated channels or streaming services.

I'm unsure how you reach that conclusion.

Even when presented with the facts that render your arguments incorrect (ie what the Premier League actually stated) you still carry on. You are cynical about absolutely everything and this leads to you coming to preposterous conclusions.
I’ll leave you to it.

I once again ask you to read the letter - the league are uncertain as to the value of the rights. The only reason - by virtue of straightforward supply and demand - that they could fall is because there is less interest.
Covid is the excuse to get around the law. The motivation for wanting to avoid an auction is very clear.
There's no reason an Amazon, Apple, Facebook or Google would have difficulty sourcing and underwriting payments for the duration of a three year contract.

I'm not sure of anything on the horizon ( ) that might alter such decisions.
I think sports bodies have invested in content-rich websites and apps but they exist to complement licensed TV rights, not to replace them.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
The real question, at a worldwide level, is how popular the product is. While we are all on the Sky hype train are there really millions out there ready to buy an add on for a single league in one foreign country?
Or would viewers seamlessly move from one league interchangeable with another from the incumbent pay-tv supplier. The league probably don’t want to take that level of risk. Also it’d put them in a position selling their product at multiple price points - meaning they’d need to circumvent people using VPNs etc to pay a lower rate. Broadcast by satellite leaks but generally it’s cost prohibitive for a consumer to take out the service.

Nothing really apart from
1) the £5 billion drop in revenue over the next 3 years
2) the cost of collecting subscriptions
3) cost of advertising to attract customers & let them know how to subscribe
4) cost of filming the matches

I'm not saying it's going to happen overnight but never say never.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
I suspect it’s the new “we could set up our own channel” stalking horse to keep broadcasters honest in the worldwide rights auction.
That said a test market or two could get a sense for what appetite there is (if any to be fair) for people to buy an over the top service overseas.
