Apple reportedly has plans to buy ESPN and get rights to NBA, NFL, MLB, and more

According to Fortune, the prediction is that considering inflation and ESPN's current value, Apple should offer between $50 and $60 billion for the network. If we go to a regular inflation calculator, Disney paid $38 billion for the company. If they were offered $50 billion, they would still make a massive profit from it. Currently, Disney is not going through a great moment with the writers and actors' strike. They could definitely use much of that money to reach a settlement and get that massive weight off their shoulders. ESPN as a company has been suffering layoffs for years and Apple has the infrastructure to prevent this. In the case Apple made an offer, should Disney consider it?

Experts believe Apple could be considering purchasing ESPN ??
“Apple would get rights to the NFL, NBA, WNBA, MLB, NHL, UFC, the PGA Tour, tennis Grand Slams, Formula 1, and college football’s Big 12 and SEC Conferences — plus ESPN’s first two Super Bowls after the 2026 and 2030 seasons.”

AppleTV giving you access to ESPN will neuter cable companies

Amazon should buy ESPN. The cost of Prime will go up. I can deal with that.

I'd love for the SEC to have something similar to their MLS streaming package

You think ESPN is woke under Disney...

I think the thread title is a bit misleading as this is simply a prediction and speculative at best, but thanks for sharing it nonetheless.
We are living in the strangest of times, I tell you what.

Disney not selling ESPN.. why would they???… even with everything going on they not losing money which in reality trumps everything else…plus I’m sure those rights won’t just “transfer” to Apple anyway…

This just sounds like rumors and a few peoples thoughts.

Espn is a dying product. Would be a complete waste of money to buy it. Not that different with Elon paying 40+ billion for twatter which most people don’t even use

Maybe apple will offer something better than espn+. Just give me a bundle with espn, espn2, secn, espn3 and all 95% of my lsu sports are covered.

Terrible terrible terrible. Would make being a fan of multiple sports cost prohibitive. It’ll be like $75 per sport for whatever sport or more. Can imagine how screwed they will be with their CFB pricing.

Would make sense. Disney is desperate for cash right now.

When does this become a monopoly

I use Comcast XFINITY and appletv never works or is unwatchable due to buffering issues

Your title is way more definitive than the actual report.

Predictions?
Apple should offer?
What a slow news time when this kind of crap is being reported.
