Interview with a guest:

• Seasonality of sports portals: how much will the revenue of the Championship.com grow in connection with EURO 2012?
• About competitors and the rights to live broadcasts of sporting events: “If VGTRK buys something, it buys the rights entirely, including Internet rights, and the Sportbox sits on the pipe, as the oilmen say.”
• “In Russia, the sports business is underdeveloped. There are more subsidies in our sport. ”
• Why do sports projects in the West earn on advertising a healthy lifestyle, and in RuNet on vodka and beer?
• Championship.com inside: why the project did not take root UGC-content?
• “For Sports.ru, the story with UGC can be appropriate. But this is quite a short-term strategy. Quality content is obtained only from experienced people. ”
• Can sports media influence football and the fan?
