tv channel Seventies Sport is about to review the terms of the contract with the Ukrainian Premier League.
“The Ukrainian Premier League has sent a letter to the clubs, in which it proposes to review the terms of the collaboration with Setanta. Now it’s not about the money. Setanta isn’t very willing to pay for the content they’ve delivered. They are ready to acquire the rights for free from the clubs they are currently broadcasting (for production only). And to share among the clubs only the money they earn by selling international rights.
It is about 200 thousand (euros) for all clubs. I don’t think more. I doubt more. For all clubs. There are no more millions to talk about. We are not even talking about 100 thousand for clubs. Just give the rights away for free, we will do the production for you. Maybe we will sell the international rights to these matches and then, if there is a positive balance, as written in the letter, we will pass it on to you. That’s all.
And Setanta will continue to sell season tickets. And she no longer needs to pay. She has earned all the passes she wanted to earn for the starting tours. That is, those people who wanted to watch football have already arrived. And this is not considered what the company has earned. That is, in principle, Setanta gets the rights for free, but football will sell and earn money for itself. Where is the club poll? I don’t know how the clubs will react and what they will say. I myself am interested, “said the reporter Igor Tsyganik in the author’s program.
Previously, 5 UPL clubs have opposed the telepool: Dynamo, Dnipro-1, Metalist, Zorya and Rukh. These clubs broadcast the matches on 1 + 1 Media platforms, while the rest of the UPL clubs have a contract with Setanta Sports.
