[QUOTE="profitius, post: 893381, member: 41524"] It will save people money too. Premier sports is what, 3 or 4 times cheaper than sky sports? I know many people like to watch soccer, WWE etc but thats not the Pro14's problem. We'll have to wait until we know more details like how much Eir/Premier sports are paying. The BBC claim they offered a big increase but got turned down. £10per month translates into £12m per year for every 100,000 subscribers. If Premier Sports think they can get about 300,000 subscribers then they might be willing to offer something around £26m or more which would be more than double the current deal (about £11m, leaving aside the South African money). I might be overly optimistic there or maybe the real figure could be even higher. I would say that the pro14 would need a big increase to take the competition off free to air TV. I would agree that the exposure to the game will take a hit if people cannot see it. [/QUOTE]
