Because if the first installment of The Show on PS4 allready comes at 47gb they can hardly add any more stadiums or other stuff if they need to stay within the 50gb...
Its already reading double layers, a BR disc is 25gb each layer if im not mistaken.

That's correct, single layer discs are 25GB. I'm not sure if the PS4 can read anything more than double layer discs, but I assume it can.

Thanks for the info. Can someone intelligent enough be able to translate how large that will be if translated digitally? So if its 47GB Install does that mean a digital download also be 47GB or less?

It'll be at least that large - that's the size of the game, after all - probably the same, though. It may require more free space than that to actually download it, though. PS3 always needed around half of the total size of a download as buffer to allow it to start. For example when I bought Show '13 digitally, the stated download size was 22 GB but I needed something over 30 GB to actually start the download. You get that buffer space back after the download finishes, though. No idea if it's like that for PS4 - I haven't come close to having a free space issue yet.

It could be less, some of the data in the download can be compressed. That's one of the main reasons installing a digital game can take more space then the final install size. When you uncompress data you have to have compressed and uncompressed data at some point, therefore it needs some extra temp space to work with.

I cant imagine the download itself will be the full 47GB, thats the space required once the game is installed.... as someone has mentioned, it will come compressed in a install package and then as its installed, the space then is taken up.

Still a fair download but if you have a decent connection you should be good
