I've read online (take it with a pinch of salt) that one of the reasons for the Premier League's global success is making sure that the "presentation" layer* of what the audience sees is pristine. Early investment by Sky Sports in HD technology and pristine pitches are part of this. Contrast that to say Serie A, where the camera feeds looked slightly "muddy" by comparison, and the pitches not as good.
* In some cases, it's really just a facade, e.g. with Manchester United's Old Trafford stadium. United's American owners have quite literally let the stadium rot, to the point where the roof is leaking and the wifi didn't work on match days, which is quite embarrassing for one of the most storied stadiums in world football. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B87aESnOWKg
