As for Sky, Disney was outbid by Comcast:

They own at least 75%.
They may come to regret that one. |
Especially if Sky loses the lucrative sport. As an outsider, it looks to me like the big rights battles and payments has totally divorced the Premier from the rest of football and distorted the pay and transfer fees of players to the point were it's not sport but a mad exhibition fuelled by money with Sport Subscriptions ripping off people (some in Ireland have needed three subs some years). They had football, rugby and cricket before there was pay TV and it was on TV too.
My wife watches a lot of tennis on Eurosport DE, or did before now.
