NFL Sunday Ticket to stick with AT&T through 2020-21 season

Premier League dont start til next month mate *Championship League

DAMN $1.5 Billion A Season? On top of the Network Deal from CBS, FOX, NBC and ESPN for $27 Billion Deal and recently just last year yet another $3.3 Billion from FOX for the Rights to Thursday Games Yeah good luck to DAZN on trying to get the rights to NFL Content, they might have to pay Minimum $1 Billion just to show short Highlights to NFL Games on their APP. NFL rights are extremely expensive but it is worth the investment here in the U.S. DAZN not the only one trying to acquire the NFL Rights though get in line! Google, Amazon, Apple are all in line for a piece with BIG MONEY to Spend. https://www.investors.com/news/technology/att-nfl-sunday-ticket-rights/ DAZN cannot compete with those Corporate Titans in ANYWAY! However as a Boxing Fans, if they cannot get the rights to the NFL then hopefully that means they will continue to spend money on BOXING :dunno: However Boxing fans have to actually Support it for them to continue to spend big money on the sport we claim to be fans of

Profootball talk isn't saying that they are reporting on the article that came out from The Athletic which contradicts other articles. This is like a report that said Kawhi Leonard likely to sign with the Lakers. And we saw how that played out. There was a report just last week citing sources that NFL was definitely opting out to create a bidding war for the best deal. I expect until the start of the season when the opt out clause has officially expired and the remaining years have either been picked or not you will see many back and forth reports between now and then. I think the NFL will stay if nobody is offering up a package that pays them more then what they already are getting. If someone does agree to pay more then they opt out. It will come down to money. My guess is the NFL ultimately breaks the package up sells some to traditional cable/satellite and then brokers a separate deal to a streaming service that way they collect money from customers on both ends. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2019/07/11/report-nfl-likely-to-stick-with-directv-through-end-of-current-deal/amp/ Report: NFL likely to stick with DirecTV through end of current deal Mike Florio The NFL apparently is keeping the $1.5 billion bird in the hand. Daniel Kaplan of TheAthletic.com reports that the league currently is expected to stick with its current Sunday Ticket arrangement through DirecTV. With talks on a new deal between the NFL and AT&T (DirecTV’s parent company) “at a standstill,” the expectations is that two sides will continue under the terms of the existing deal through the 2020-21 season. Kaplan’s report conflicts with other information that has surfaced in recent months. Sports Business Journal reported, for example, that the NFL has until the start of the 2019 regular season to opt out of the contract at the end of the 2019-20 season. SBJ also indicated that the NFL-DirecTV pact has three remaining years, not two. Via Kaplan, the mutual option to terminate the deal prematurely expired “in recent months,” with NFL and AT&T continuing talks under a “gentleman’s agreement.” Regardless of the conflicting details, the NFL is feeling good about where it currently is, thanks to the $1.5 billion per year that DirecTV pays for the Sunday Ticket service. “The NFL is going to be in a good position,” an unnamed ownership source told Kaplan. “I mean, I don’t mean that to sound obnoxious. But I mean, they’re gonna pay us a lot of money, or there are others with different business models lined up to pay us different money for different versions of it. . . . I think the NFL will be fine. I think AT&T is paralyzed.” AT&T may not want to pay $1.5 billion per year for Sunday Ticket, but it also surely doesn’t want to endure the mass exodus of DirecTV customers if/when DirecTV no longer is part of the package. The balance for the NFL is money versus an expanded footprint among younger fans, especially via a streaming alternative for Sunday Ticket that could attract plenty of cord cutters and/or dish dumpers. For now, money is winning. As it usually does. The NFL not opting out seems in part a response to the feedback they are getting about the apps. It's one thing if the apps have a problem during a huge fight, but if NFL games have glitching and connectivity issues there will be hell to pay. I think the NFL is going to wait until all the issues are addressed (maybe wait until everything is 5g) and then get a huge amount of loot from DAZN or ESPN.
