PRESIDENT OF FLAMENGO REVEALS THE REASON FOR ACCEPTING A LOWER PRICE IN A CONTRACT WITH GLOBO

To sign the new TV contract with Globo, Flamengo had to considerably reduce the request and will now receive a lower value than in previous years. Thus, participating in the podcast "Dinheiro em Jogo", Rodolfo Landim, president of Mais Querido, defended the decision to sign a contract in which the club loses part of its revenue and has its advantage over its divided rivals.

According to the representative of More Dear, the market has changed and it would be "unfair" for Flamengo to maintain the minimum, causing other clubs to lose revenue, so he chose to reduce the amount received.

“Flamengo today has no minimum guarantee in the contract we signed. We had a minimum guarantee within a product, which is pay per view, we had a minimum guarantee that in fact all clubs had and these clubs gave up in negotiations. When pay per view was negotiated on the market, there was an expectation of revenue, and the market changes. We made the right decision in wanting to keep the minimum guarantee, while the market that was seen to be R$600 million fell to R$430 million”, said Landim in an interview with the “Dinheiro em Jogo” podcast.LANDIM REVEALS THAT HE GAVE UP THE MINIMUM GUARANTEED SO AS TO NOT IMPACT OTHER CLUBS

Also according to the representative of Rubro-Negro, from the At a time when the clubs broke into two negotiating blocs, Mais Querido understood that it should waive the requirement for Globo's minimum guarantee so as not to "impact its partners".

“If we are going to leave for a big negotiation, so I want to maintain the same conditions as I had. The moment you separate it into blocks, we know that this will affect this product even more, because you will have fewer clubs participating. Wanting Flamengo to impose this guaranteed minimum by reducing the revenue of the other nine clubs is unfair, it is not reasonable for this to happen. On this side, he had the idea to say the following: it's one thing when you're making a league. Another thing is when you are trading for blocks, you will impact your partners. This is a negotiation that takes place over time and we agree to give up on that.”

PRESIDENT SAYS THAT THE CALL WILL LEAVE "IN LOVE OR BY PAIN"

Rodolfo Landim still qualifies the block negotiation with Globo as a necessary stage for the formation of the League and says he believes that the union of clubs will get off the ground.

“I continue to believe in this, and believe that this is a stage in a process bigger that will end up happening. As my late grandmother said, for love or pain I think that at some point the clubs will understand that it is essential that they can sit down and understand each other. And I hope this happens as soon as possible,” he said.
