I think the point is that not many people were bidding to broadcast Mexican games in America. It was relatively cheap for ESPN to get the broadcast rights

I understood. I'm just saying that I've been trying to rationalize it to myself this way without really knowing for sure. The English/Spanish rights argument was definitely a good point.

I think it's important to differentiate between the English rights and Spanish rights to broadcast in the US. It's my belief (and have nothing to draw that on) that the Spanish rights to broadcast in the US are the big prize. (More money to be spent by the end users.... Mexican fans in America have more disposable income than Mexican Mexicans.)
My guess is that the hierarchy is:
Spanish Mexican rights in the US
Spanish Mexican rights in Mexico
Away Mexican rights (both)
English US rights
English US away rights
Spanish US broadcast rights (home and away.... And my suspicion that these may be as valuable as the English US rights.)
English language Mexican rights
