Why was Serhat Akın fired? What happened behind the scenes has been revealed

Serhat Akın was dismissed from the Sports Digitale channel, where he had been working as a commentator, in recent days. Akın had stated that he was fired due to the comments he made. It has now emerged that other events took place behind the scenes.

İbrahim Seten, who was the first to report the news of Serhat Akın's departure from Sports Digitale, shared what happened behind the scenes.

What İbrahim Seten said on the 343 Digital channel:

“THE EVENTS ARE NOT AS SERHAT DESCRIBED”: “It is clear who Serhat Akın is blaming. He is blaming the Fenerbahçe President and Acun Ilıcalı. In his statement, Serhat Akın briefly says, ‘I was fired because of these things I said. They didn't pay me. They collaborated with Fenerbahçe.’ The truth of the matter is not like that.”

“HE DEMANDED A 3-FOLD RAISE”: “Serhat Akın attempted to increase the money he received 3-4 times—both before and after he was shot. After being shot, he demanded 3 times the salary he was receiving. Although it didn't go exactly as Serhat Akın wanted, a middle ground was found.”

“THEY TOLD HIM: ‘SAY WHAT YOU WANT, BUT DON'T BRING THIS SUBJECT UP AGAIN’”: “Those words bothered the channel. Because the channel's owner, Murat Zorlu, told Serhat when he was returning to the screen after the shooting incident, ‘Let's film a return video for you. Say whatever is on your mind, all at once. And don't get into these topics again.’ The video was filmed, and Serhat didn't mention these topics at all. Making this statement afterward bothered Sports Digitale a great deal.”

“HE DEMANDED A SHARE FROM THE SPONSOR”: “His own program has a sponsor. He was saying, ‘If you don't give me a share from this, I won't do the promotion.’ These events exhausted this relationship to such an extent that they sent him a formal notice.”
