Chinese streaming platform PP Sports is following through on a threat last year to sue the English Premier League over their collapsed media rights deal, according to a report in the Financial Times.
The UK newspaper said PPLive Sports International - PP Sports' official company name - is claiming back money that it paid the league before the deal collapsed. PP Sports paid around half of the $700m (€580m) total fee due under the three-year contract, but claims it received "less than a third" of the value. The deal was terminated last September, after the end of the first season, 2019-20, which was interrupted by the pandemic.
