Remember that Eurosport Events are owned by the Discovery channel. The increased range of exposure on TV through the various Discovery outlets will, in their view, result in enhanced revenue from advertising and sponsorship.

Humphrey Appleby Posted October 2, 2020 Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 45 minutes ago, PHILIPRISING said: NOT publicly but believed to be around $100,000.00 Is that $100K or $1m? And is that per year? If it's $100K per year, that's significantly below what BSI were paying. Even if it's $1 million per year, that's probably less than half than what the FIM was getting previously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ONE hundred million dollars for a ten year deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WERE paying although of course IMG/BSI upped their bid but still fell far short of what Discovery put on the table including a cast iron commitment take the SGP to new countries outside of Europe and to invest in grass roots speedway. Will be interesting to see how that turns out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be interesting to see how that turns out. Well that could be in with their speedway youth world championship coverage, being cynical. Could run a little training school added on with a couple of star riders and they have done their part. It is something the FIM already do. Otherwise I wonder how they will invest in worldwide grass roots speedway......... Edited October 2, 2020 by iris123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Smith Posted October 2, 2020 Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 Could the fact Eurosport has the rights to British Speedway tick part of their 'Grassroots' quota. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pirates Of Poole Posted October 3, 2020 Report Share Posted October 3, 2020 Think it’s good news for the sport and opens up potential new viewers. Eurosport are certainly putting money into the sport, the Premiership starts it’s 5 year deal in 2021. No knowing how much each club gets from the deal, I’m sure it’s more than BT but less than Sky offered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are assuming that Eurosport being pan European will show the GP’s throughout Europe. This will not bring in revenue the same as renewing contracts with Canal plus Poland and Danish, Swedish and GB contracts. It will be interesting what they decide to do. Revenue will come from subscriptions (Eurosport player) and from selling distribution rights for Eurosport / Discovery television channels to cable/satellite/broadband operators.

noggin Posted October 3, 2020 Report Share Posted October 3, 2020 I hope this is done properly, Eurosports live broadcasts can be a bit patchy, what happens if tennis or some other sport over runs, do we arrive at the speedway with half a dozen heats gone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happens is just as you have posted. Speedway fans miss half a dozen heats. It is quite likely that they bought speedway in a bundle and not specifically to make anything of it or build it up.

Bavarian Posted October 4, 2020 Report Share Posted October 4, 2020 but the big question is: HOW MUCH OF THAT 10-YEAR MEGA-DEAL 100 MILLION DOLLARS GOES BACK INTO SPEEDWAY ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not so sure this is good news if it hasn't. We could well have many a minute staring at a picture of a tractor going round with just background noise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
