So why
didn't they fight, then? They didn't side with the NHL to fight for a better deal - something that could have worked to their own interests as greater visibility for the NHL could mean more revenue, which they get 50% of. And they didn't even attempt to negotiate when the NHL gave up on the IOC and turned to them to ask them what they were willing to do in a separate deal.
