Quote: number 6 "what if sky insist they get a cut in the next deal? it does sound to me that sky want Toronto in SL more than the SL clubs itself.'"
SKY want subscriptions for the Superleague games they show. They get these subs from English fans not from Canadians. SKY won't hold Superleague back if they want to develop and expand the sport. but they put a minimum nine English club requirement on this as Adam Pearson said......
Catalans have one of the three possible overseas spots. That means there is no room for any more than two North American clubs in SL. Perez stated North American TV companies would only back a Superleague if there were at least five North American clubs in it.
So the bottom line is TWP, Ottawa and New York create zero value to the SKY TV deal. That they may demand a cut of said deal is ridiculous, that SKY may give them that is equally ridiculous.
