3.       Please revise here to disclose the comparable IFRS measures for
adjusted EBITDA
         margin    and    cash flow conversion    with equal or greater
prominence wherever you
         discuss these measures. Refer to Item 10(e)(1)(i)(A) of Regulation S-K
and Question
         102.10 of the non-GAAP Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations
(C&DIs).
         Also, remove the measure of total segment adjusted EBITDA on page 85
or revise to
         reconcile this non-GAAP measure.
4.       Please explain further the adjustment for amortization of sports
rights to your non-GAAP
         measure of adjusted EBITDA. Specifically address why you have excluded
a significant
         portion of your amortization expense from your calculation and explain
what your
         measure of adjusted EBITDA as presented is attempting to convey. Also,
revise to clarify
         how this measure as presented provides useful information to
investors. Refer to Item
         10(e)(1)(i)(c) of Regulation S-K.
5.       Please address the following as it relates to your non-GAAP measure of
free cash flow:
             You refer to this measure as both a performance and liquidity
measure in footnote
             (4). Tell us why you believe this measure is a performance measure
or revise to
             appropriately identify this as a liquidity measure only. Refer to
Question 102.07 of
             the non-GAAP C&DIs.
             Your adjustment for acquisition of intangible assets excludes
certain intangible assets
             required to further support an acquired business. Tell us the
amount of acquired
             intangible assets that have been excluded from this measure. Also,
explain further
             what the excluded amount represents and how you determined that
such exclusion
             appropriately reflects your measure of free cash flow.
             Tell us how the adjustment for interest paid on bank debt complies
with the
             prohibition in Item 10(e)(ii)(A) of Regulation S-K regarding the
exclusion of charges
             that required, or will require, cash settlement from a non-GAAP
liquidity measure.
             Considering such measure contains adjustments other than capital
expenditures,
             please revise to label the measure as    adjusted free cash flow"
so it is not confused
             with free cash flow as typically calculated. Refer to Question
102.07 of the Non-
             GAAP C&DIs.

         have incurred or expect to incur.

consideration is
         initially constrained and therefore, revenue is recognized based on
actual customer sale
         performance. In this regard, clarify whether you have fully

         consideration if so, tell us how you considered the guidance in

any additional
         amounts in excess of the contractually stated amounts is recognized as
incurred. Please
         describe further the terms of these arrangements. Tell us whether the

         level commitments cover the entire term of the arrangement or certain
incremental periods
         within the contract term (e.g. monthly, quarterly, etc.). Tell us how

         exceed these amounts and provide the amount of revenue earned from
single match
         bookings and additional AV services for each period presented. Lastly,

15.
16.      Please explain in detail how you determined that the single match
bookings are capable of
