If there is more money on hand, more to spend on, it is tempting to reach more people. Reach<\/em><\/span> is probably erringly coveted. In a culture obsessed with adding, less but better seems out of sync.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The IPL has reach both on broadcast TV and on OTT|Social. So has the English Premier League. The Super Bowl.
