midds Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 If you've got the LiveScore app then they're currently streaming both of the Serie A games going on atm. Not sure if this is common but I've never noticed it before. Just started over the last week or two. Series A has been a mainstay of the free to watch on betting sites aswell. Unlikely to be linked with the TV rights issues that BeIN are referring to then? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

xLiaaamx Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Can't just be because Saudi got the MENA rights, since BeIN also have the Australia rights and they've stopped showing them everywhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FloydianMag Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Can't just be because Saudi got the MENA rights, since BeIN also have the Australia rights and they've stopped showing them everywhere. I think it might be something to do with the Italian Super Cup being played in Saudi which has been compounded by the Saudis acquiring the rights to Serie A from next season. Bein have spit their dummy out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERTOON Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Maybe a veiled threat at the premier league as in this is what we will do if you approve the takeover. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manxst Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Maybe a veiled threat at the premier league as in this is what we will do if you approve the takeover. What, not show the PL in the Middle East? Haven’t they already paid the PL for the rights? It makes no odds, surely? What would the PL be concerned about if BeIN decide to not show the games?

Pons Alias Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Really? No Serie A or Premier League? Some Sports Channel Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OpenC Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 I guess it's more a threat about future bidding. Reasonable bet that somebody will pick up the rights though, so not a very good threat Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilson Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Spitting their dummy out. Not like the Premier League wouldn't get another punter if Bein spit their dummy out. Saudi actually owning one the PL clubs is probably worth more to them than the Bein money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will still owe money from this deal I assume and will refuse to pay it. Not saying it’s true or legal, but that certainly seems like what they are threatening.

Teasy Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 So there big threat would be "we're going to stop re-selling the product we already bought from you and go bankrupt if you don't do what we say"? Nah surely they aren't that insane. I mean all it would do is make pirate sites more valuable, people aren't going to miss Premier League matches because BeIN stop showing them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Am I being thick? Is the suggestion that if the PL approve the deal, BeIn will stop broadcasting PL games in the MENA region (despite still having the rights)? And it's being suggested they've pulled the plug on Serie A as some sort of threat? Although there's other reports Saudi now have Serie A rights instead? :lol: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbers Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 If Bein doesn't buy it there will be plenty waiting to snap up the rights for the region, last gasp effort to block it Also pretty sure the PL would have some kind of commitment from them not to pull the plug on a whim.
