Commentator Viktor Vatsko talked about the negotiations with MEGOGO that took place in 2020 on the air of the Vatsko Live program.
Viktor Vatsko"I have never spoken on this topic in public, I think it's safe to say. It is true, in the fall of 2020, I had a meeting with a representative of MEGOGO. The main offer is: "We bought the Champions League, and we offer you to work on the matches of the group tournament." It was a 12-match group tournament.
I immediately said that I definitely would not work for 750 hryvnias per match. I was asked what kind of money I wanted. My answer: "In principle, I am not looking for short-term cooperation, because I am interested in long-term cooperation. For example, a 3-year agreement. That there was a salary, that everything was clear. I'm used to working like that, that's how we used to work on the "Football" channel.
They told me: "Okay, think about the amount you want for the work on the Champions League group stage matches." As far as I understand, I was offered, first of all, a job in the group stage of the Champions League, and then maybe. The matter did not come to the discussion of specific figures, except for 750 hryvnias per match, for which I was definitely not going to work," said Vatsko.
