Reported all over the place https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/54621189Who's paid JP Morgan a shed load of money? Nothing I've read so far suggests to me anyone's invested more than scoping fees at the moment? And my guess would be the only party being billed so far is FIFA who are probably driving this, with cheerleading by the Glazers, Fenway, Perez, Agnelli who all see it as a win win, they either get a new more lucrative money making tournament or they get to use the threat of it as leverage to get more out of the existing CL and domestic deals. FIFA likewise, seeing this as a way to either usurp their rival UEFA or at least start to get a piece of football's most lucrative club competition currently run by UEFA.
My guess would be that Sky are prepared to bankroll this in return for first dibs on the TV rights, FIFA or UEFA don't have the ability to raise that level of money without a TV Deal.
