Some sports content properties are considered “premium content” in a majority of markets and can help drive up subscriber penetration. Rights holders want to maximise the value of their assets, either by sale to the highest bidders or by self-exploitation through the creation of a new media presence and even TV channel. Content purchasers, on the other hand, need to evaluate the market and their competitors to determine how much the content is worth.
