Sony should honestly consider launching a sport only OTT plan for Sony Liv. I don't want to pay 999 for content i don't watch. Charging 300-350 only for sports content like UCL/UEL other football, cricket, WWE etc are okay for me.
 
Also Jio probably brought rights for AFC Champions League 2021. They are telecasting all matches in Jio Football channel with English commentary. I watched 2 matches yesterday.

They did launched couple of years back in 2018. They were charging ₹199 for six months. Completely ad free sport. Back then regular Sony Liv subscription use to cost ₹499 annually. Free tier offered 5 minute delay of everything. Don't hope for same. Streaming was just bad back then. Servers were down in the middle of the events. Even the quality was sub-par. They need to maintain cost. Star can afford to giveaway as they recover most of the cost from Cricket which generates huge sums of ad revenue. Sony doesn't have similar option for same as their offerings are niche.

You can also watch on tv too on Viacom's English Channels. It usually airs on Vh1, Comedy Central and Colors Infinity.
 
Sony Six should be dedicated to Cricket. Just like how Sony Ten 2 is to Football. Don't know why sports be it MMA or Wrestling is doing there. When you can use Sony Ten 1, 3 and 4 which airs WWE repeats throughout the day.
