Why would they stop it when they've just approved it?

They didn't want to. 

Plus the PL is the biggest league in the world and the richest aswell. They go to different countries in pre season and have fan fares in USA 

Just look at TV deals for PL coverage compare to other leagues. 

Sky and TNT paid £6.7bn for domestic rights. International TV rights is similar amount. The PL is a global brand when has other top leagues aren't. https://www.premierleague.com/en/media/broadcasters

 You would be very naive if you think that the Premier League's attitude would be that they already generate enough money. Greed will take over.

Other leagues are setting a precedent and global fans will no longer be satisfied with second strings playing friendlies. Eventually English games will be played abroad. Its a depressing likelihood. The only question is when.

If they didn't want to then they wouldn't have done it.

They still allowed it though.

Your last sentence proves the point that there is the appetite for a match to be played abroad.

It will happen, it’s just a matter of time.

With half the clubs owned by Americans and their wholly unromantic view of clubs as US sport franchise-style revenue generators it’s only a matter of time.

Six subs incoming. Can't have those pesky diddy teams crossing the drawbridge.
