- Deal collapsed last year over missed instalments
- PPTV owned by Suning, who also own Internazionale
A Chinese broadcaster has been ordered to pay the Premier League at least $213m (£156m) by the high court in London over the collapse of one of the competition’s most lucrative international rights agreements.
The league terminated the deal last year after PPTV failed to pay two instalments of the rights fees owed, citing a change to the schedule caused by the 100-day pandemic-enforced pause in fixtures in 2020 and the lack of fans in stadiums when games resumed in June.
