$200 a month? I'm not aware of anyone paying an amount even approaching that. The Sky Sports bundle - which is 7 sports channels, Premier League, etc - is £45 per month at face value and cheaper with negotiation.

If you maxed out a US cable or Satellite service you could hit $200, especially if you're paying for things like NFL Sunday Ticket on DirecTv, which gives you access to all of the football games.

According to [1], watching every top football match in the UK will cost close to £100/month, which is $150. Probably less with a bit of negotiation, or switching suppliers for limited-time deals.
