It is official, the best league in the world will have one broadcaster less next season with a financial value that catches the sum of £ 3 billion per season.
Premier League is the best league in the world as it is broadcasted in more than 200 territories and seen by an audience of 4.7 billion viewers. This league brings spectacle and big games as the best players show their values on the pitch.
Apple TV has announced that will not buy any more Premier League games as will seek to join forces with Sky Sports. Eddie Cue expressed this problem and said that Apple won’t invest unless is an agreement that is similar to the previous £ 1,97 billion with MLS.
“I don’t like the word exclusivity because that’s important but not as important.
“What’s important to us is global rights.
“We’re a global company, we have a large number of customers in every country in the world and it’s not exciting for me to have something that one person can have but another can’t.
“Another matter is that we’re throwing a significant amount of engineering and expertise into the MLS product and I can’t justify throwing what I think are the best engineers in the world on a small sub-set product.
“It has to be a partnership because our level of investment is significant.”

About the Premiership deal
Then Cue added the specific reasons why Apple is not investing anymore in EPL.
“I never say never without knowing all of the information.
”But in general we never sign any deal with any league in a specific country or a small sub-set of countries and I’d say it was highly unlikely we’d ever do that.
“I don’t think we’d ever do that.
“We wouldn’t want to invest to do that because we’re not a typical investor trying to fill in some gaps.
“MLS is our Number One thing and we want it to be a huge success,”- ended Cue and leaving no space for arguments or replies.
