M​iguel Ángel Loor rules out GolTV’s debt to Ecuadorian football: ‘It was duly paid’, he says

“According to the information provided to me by the financial department there are outstanding obligations by GolTV of 6 months,” said Saritama.

This statement was immediately answered by Pro Leaguewith the president Miguel Ángel Loor active on social networks to explain what he says are the pending payments due to the strike tournaments during the pandemic COVID 19.

“There was a restructuring of the debt from 2020the year in which the football was NOT delivered for exactly 6 months GolTV, added to the unilateral termination of almost all cable companies. This is where the debt arose. During 2023 GolTV has duly paid, from month to month, almost 32 million dollarsLoor posted on his account. x.

“It could be seen from the flows that part of what was paid out this year was to cover the debt and apparently those are 4 months (not 6) from this year. But The reality is that from January to November (December will be paid in the following days) it was paid without any problems“, announced the head of the Pro League, who pointed out that “no one approached the Pro League to offer a contract even similar to what we have today with GolTV and this can be seen through the best platform there is,” wrote Loor.

This Thursday, it was Santiago Morales, manager of Independiente del Vallethe one who spoke oa a debt that amounts to about six months.

“It is true what Luis Saritama said, GolTV he owes us five months and now in December it will be six months. I’m sure all clubs pay us the same If they don’t pay us this month, that would be six months of debt that the holders of television rights would have with us”, said the manager of Machdeportes.

“There are clubs where a large part of their budget comes from television rights. The situation is very difficult”said Morales, doc Loor denied that he was “defending” television and what he is doing is “explaining the reality”, with the clarification that his posts will be repeated on the subject, “whenever necessary”.
