Commentator Roman Tymoshchuk told Tribuna.com how much MEGOGO commentators get paid.
- Is it true that MEGOGO commentators receive 750 hryvnias per match?
- Yes, it is. It's no secret in the football industry. At least it used to be so. I don't know how it is now. But it's not a secret for the football community, for everyone involved in television and commentary. I don't know if their policy has changed now, because I don't keep in touch with anyone except Roberto [Morales].
- So it turns out that commentators in Ukraine are not paid much now?
- It depends on the employer. If you take MEGOGO, it's the bottom of the market. Setanta, for example, pays more.
- How much?
- I think it's 40 dollars or 40 euros. I don't remember exactly, I didn't work there, but it seems to be about that much. It turns out to be about twice as much. If a commentator is invited by a certain club, like Kryvbas, for example, they have different rates. Everyone has their own. It depends on how you negotiate.
