The reason you go after those countries is because of cost, you don’t need to add any broadcasting partners you just take the Spanish coms and sell it directly to the markets. It’s not to compete with the pan american leagues its to work along side them.

Yeah you’re not getting it.
The average football fan supports 1 club. He has time and room in his/her heart for one club and in Mexico/Brazil/Argentina that spot in already taken by local teams who are a good standard who he’s supported his entire life already.
He isn’t going to stop supporting Flamengo and watch every Real Madrid game. No one behaves that way.
Where as the guy in the US who likes playing FIFA who’s starting watching football and wants a team to support is going to pick a team from an English speaking country because it’s so much easier to engage with. And he won’t pick an MLS side because the standard sucks and he has no emotional connection to it.
If there was a wealthy Spanish speaking country with no football culture then La Liga would be killing it in that growth market right now but such a place doesn’t exist.
