Eventually, ESPN agreed to pay $100 million, and Univision successfully bid $325 million to retain the Spanish-language rights. The combined $333 million offer by NBC Universal and Telemundo — initially accepted by FIFA, then put into suspended animation to field more offers — was geared largely to benefit Telemundo; because of soccer's popularity in Spanish-speaking communities, Univision's ratings have dwarfed ABC's and ESPN's.


Anyone still going to complain when the MLS tries to woo hispanic fans?
