MR JUSTICE ARNOLD :
EWHC
480 (Ch), [2017] ECC 17 ("FAPL v BT I"). Since then I have made two further orders in favour of FAPL and I have made two similar orders in favour of Union Des Associations Européennes De Football ("UEFA") in respect of streaming servers which deliver infringing live streams of UEFA match footage to UK consumers.
2018.
Events typically run from 1700 to 2300 on the day in question and include a number of other fights in addition to the headline fight.
2018. PPV Events are available on the Sky Sports Box Office channel and consumers must pay in the region of £20 to watch each PPV Event on top of their ordinary subscription. PPV Events can attract up to 1.3 million viewers. Sky pays Matchroom a substantial fee for the broadcasting rights and in addition shares the revenue from PPV Events with Matchroom. For these reasons Sky supports Matchroom's application, just as it did FAPL's applications. The other Defendants have either consented to or do not oppose the application.
