So when NFL games all go “pay per view” how many households will pay? Some will,of course. But I sue as hell won’t...just as I refuse to pay for MLB...NBA...NHL.
Or CBS, NBC, and ABC. I get all I need with antenna.
Which of course is exactly why they’re not going pay per view. I always laugh when people make that prediction, it’s patently ridiculous. And you even said part of why. The other big part is the bidding wars, they have a desirable product, with a limited number of packages, and more TV that want it than packages the NFL is willing to sell. This has been driving up their revenue since Fox came to be and shook that boat. They’re $12 BILLION from TV rights alone, you really think they’re stupid enough break that.
Nobody is going pay per view. Just stop.
