Well whilst $45mill profit isnt to be sneezed at, on $1.4bill revenue its not huge and doesnt exactly give them a lot to pay more does it?And there’s people on here saying nine can’t afford to pay much for the nrl
They ain’t cutting their best programmingWell whilst $45mill profit isnt to be sneezed at, on $1.4bill revenue its not huge and doesnt exactly give them a lot to pay more does it?
Its likely they will Stan as their future, in which case I can see them going hard for the whole lot. If FTA component alone is worth much more is unclear. In reality there is only Ch10 that would compete with them for that.They ain’t cutting their best programming
They can start with cutting the super rugby and tests
That’s 30 million right there which nobody watched that can pay for the extra money they need to pay us
Last bledisloe got 240k viewers lmao
Can’t see Stan outbidding FoxSports but it helpsIts likely they will Stan as their future, in which case I can see them going hard for the whole lot. If FTA component alone is worth much more is unclear. In reality there is only Ch10 that would compete with them for that.
Depends how much Fox has left to spend. If Stan can afford $500mill they allegedly offered AFL for the whole lot then could Fox match $350-400mill for its part? Ch9 pay $115mill cash for FTA and some radio now.Can’t see Stan outbidding FoxSports but it helps
Especially if they are trying to sell it (foxsports) they won’t want to lose number one programming
Assuming they pay 120 million now for the fta rights it should be around 140 to 150 million in the new deal
500 million for a 20 team comp ?Depends how much Fox has left to spend. If Stan can afford $500mill they allegedly offered AFL for the whole lot then could Fox match $350-400mill for its part? Ch9 pay $115mill cash for FTA and some radio now.
