Nrl is the first rugby comp to achieve those social media metrics

And given they didn’t report most crowds claiming higher crowds is just bs

DAZN apparently want origin & GF simulcast rights, Nine will have to step up the FTA component if they want to keep them exclusive.
I think Danz/fox, they pay Now $255m pa. We want over $330m pa. So maybe. Well give them that and they can share it simulcast with Nine FTA and also on payTV Paramount AND Danz. I certifiably think we leaving cash on the table if we don't have two FTA and Danz.
However the FTA can show the other FTA games on their own subscription channel. So $140m Nine and a Ten $85 million from FTA games and ( ie Nines) Paramount. So sell everything to everyone, obviously what makes commercial sense. Ten would love to have a package of two FTA (exclusive while 3 simulcast of Nine on the pay Tv channel. Nine Ten and Danz.

Fox pay afl 418 million pa

That’s the absolute minimum they should pay but that’s still a poor deal

Should be 450 to 500 millon pa

Esp if they get origin streaming rights plus Monday night footy
