I’m fairly sure BeIn let it be known that they would be seeking some sort of compensation if the deal goes through, possibly withholding future payments (if any)
Richard Masters has probably been already assured that SA will take up the slack if this were to happen and would be acquiring the rights next time around.
If BeIn had to let go of a hundred staff over the decline in revenue relating to BeoutQ, they might not be in a position to bid next time anyway.
In Steve Wraith's most recent YouTube video, Neil Mitchell (@geordiedentist) suggested that their is possibly a negotiation underway to have BeIn pay a reduced EMEA region PL license fee and PIF pay a PL license fee covering Saudi televising of PL games. If this negotiation is underway it would require the PL to speak to BeIn and to convince them to agree.
That Dentist knows nothing.
