I believe the Sky TV deal money was paid pre season. I imagine Sky would produce the NZ content and supply free to FOX.
FOX most likely pay for their coms team to travel to NZ.
So with x number of home game cancelled Sky have got a good deal.
FOX knows it has the league in a predicament and will use it, the same way the FFA did to get the payment made.
Can only see going forward club owner have to biting the bullet and enter direct discussions with FOX to gain the control over the future of an Independent Australasian-League. (Secure their investment)
