You might get a few "cord Nevers" interested in this, but probably not cord cutters.

Honestly, for many people, if they want ESPN, they can get Sling, which now includes ESPN 1,2,3 in Basic, and optionally offers all the ESPNs. I question whether there are that many people who would buy an ESPN-only package. On the other hand, would people like to buy a Sling package without ESPN? Probably.
