Per game. Still rubbish figures.

It's basically free money that they're gouging from people.

Cameras are at the games anyway, they've just them behind a double paywall.

To be scrapped apparently after this weekend

The Premier League are likely to scrap the controversial pay-per-view model after this weekend's games.

The broadcast model — whereby fans are charged £14.95 to watch a single game — has come under serious criticism from fans' groups, clubs and the government since it was introduced in October.

While no final decision was made at Wednesday's meeting, The Athletic understands it is likely to be dropped after the weekend. It will come under review in January but the Premier League are unlikely to revert to the model.

This is great news, should never have been introduced in the first place and should never be brought back.
