Well we predicted the possibility weeks ago

The next deal for live television rights for the English Premier League could be pan-European rather than domestic, chief executive Richard Scudamore said today. For 20 years lucrative British deals with BSkyB’s Sky Sports have helped the league become the most successful in world football and in 2009 the satellite broadcaster paid £1.6 billion ($953.55 million) for the 2010-13 contract. ESPN can also screen around 23 league games - a package previously owned by Irish broadcaster Setanta.

Perhaps my arithmetic is incorrect, but I can't seem to work out how £1.6 Billion is equal to $953.55 million.

Could it be the other way around? One pound is about 1.6 dollars...

May of turned it into the best league, but for who. Lots of clubs are now in financial meltdown and the national team has got worse and worse
