It's worth 250 million a year.


All i saw was some dude from SI saying it could potentially earn that

Where have you seen that as a firm number

but theyre gonna get paid when all is said and done.


Long term effects if no one is watching will be big

It already struggles for viewers

But MLS is desperate for cash

Pretty much every news article about it says it's a minimum (not potentially) of 250 a year. But we knew you'd shite all over it anyway because you previously said no one was going to pay for MLS rights this year

Per Sports Business Journal, it is a a MINIMUM GUARANTEE of 250 million per year, with upside potential. Meaning, MLS will get a percentage of all subs world wide as well that will/could take it over 250 million per year.

They can also sell the linear rights to ESPN/Fox/Univision for the US and even to other countries. It would just not be exclusive, meaning Apple would get to simulcast those games on its streaming service with no blackouts.

Also means no blackouts AT ALL anywhere. If you subscribe, you get every single game no matter if its only on Apple or if its simulcast on ESPN/Fox/Univision.

Also, interesting wrinkle, all season ticket holders will get the subscription to Apple TV free
