Don’t think it needs to work really as about 4 people will watch cards on Eurosport. be interesting if Eurosport get any backlash getting into bed with a drug kingpin. If not might give other networks some bravery. Does make your wonder though how the mcgrails, McCormacks. Edwards etc see this as a good career move
Ahh Sunny Edwards alluded to a TV deal been reached for Probellum. Whats the arrangement for eurosport/BT?
I can see the benefit of this to people like Ricky Burns who can get another couple of pay days and don’t need to showcase themselves as they’re near the end of their career but why on earth would anybody with real aspirations in the sport want to be part of this?
Shouldn’t make any difference Frank will still have exclusivity on BT Sport. isn’t Eurosport a free to air channel?
Isn't eurosport owned by Disney, just like BT now? I don't think that's a bad move, eurosport is a cool little niche channel with knowledgeable fans and commentators. But isn't probellum the DK promotion?
Yeah my point was Discovery/Eurosport are doing a joint venture with BT. Frank has exclusivity with BT. Hopefully could mean a load of joint promos and better cards
Not as far as I am aware. Once the deal completes BT will be merged with Eurosport to create one bigger platform. Will be interesting what the terms are. Anyone know how long Frank has left on his deal? I think it’s possibly up at the end of this year. surely no big company like Disney would touch Probellum given its a drug front with connections to multiple murders
Also Eurosports is the best value subscription channel by a mile. £40 a year BSB WSBK WTCR British Speedway Euro Speedway Grand Prix Speedway All of the Road Cycling. It is a superb channel
I don’t even know what the majority of that is. Fair play if you’re getting the stuff you’re interested in for a great price though.
