Obviously it would be technically possible and I'm all for the idea, but China has paid the bribes and Canada/US haven't, and there's no precedent... And there's once again the threat that if you do that for one sport, other sports might start demanding the same.
(The time differences also suck for everyone else when games are played in North America. East Asia to Europe means games are shown in the middle of the day, NA to Europe means games are shown in the middle of the night.)
