How can Eurosport afford a package that is going to cost them £500m which is ten times their current turnover?

Totally agree , I suppose part of the blame has to be levelled at the officials accepting these deals.

Yes l quite agree big bear and its sad but sadly most sporting authorities have sold their soul to the biggest bidder without any thought to the wider implications of their decisions.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
If EPL give Eurosport an pack it may get more viewers to watch live games on Sky Sports or BT Sport or even go to their local EPL Team more often. When I watch some EPL games on Match of the day I can see that it not an sell out.
But we know the cost of both Sky and BT will go up.

That's exactly what I'd go for but I guess anything could happen.

Free ads for EPL to get more numbers coming to games (the "wee" teams).
Free ads to get viewers into pay for the Sports Channels (Not everyone has Sky Sports or got XL Package in).
