It seems to be alright for other sports (Rugby Union, Super League and for European Champions/Europa Leagues so why not Premier League football?

A more likely scenario would be Amazon taking over from Sky or BT, although with more matches becoming available, there could be more providers coming in. As this would be content you otherwise wouldn't have, it would be a bonus rather than more expense for the same number of channels.
And of course if Amazon entered the fray by screening those extra matches, it would be interesting to see how BT would react to Amazon's pricing.
