How much money do boxing commentators make a year?

[TommyToughNuts]

Only thing I saw after a quick couple searches for Al & Jim is Jim made $260k per year from HBO in 1988 lol.

Lol. Lamps was making more than doctors back then.

I just remember ESPN announced that Andre Ward and Tim Bradley signed an extension with the network, I wonder what the financials are? is it high six figures or low six figures per year? I doubt they will pay them only 50k a year lol

50k is great money for a commentating gig.

And HBO wasn't even his main employer back then. Think the info I found was showing he was making over a million a year between 3 gigs.

He's a professor at a UNC iirc. He's doing something at UNC for sure.

Max Kellerman made out like a bandit when HBO folded. He had a contract with both HBO and ESPN.

Max got to work along side Jim Lampley, Harold Lederman, and a rotating guest analyst, usually Roy Jones Jr. or the late Emanuel Steward.

Kellerman has replaced Skip Bayless on ESPN's First Take as co-analyst alongside Stephen A. Smith and host Molly Qerim July of 2016.

With HBO leaving the boxing business at the end of 2018, Kellerman signed a multiyear contract with ESPN which greatly expanded his role in the network's boxing coverage.

IDK but they did say what michael buffer made before and its a chit ton. like hes a big time millionaire for just reading announcement cards.

[elfag]

lamply and merchant prob made a chit ton.

the other guys prob depends on how big they are.


I would bet foreman made the most by far. I think he would be in the position to negotiate the highest rates and his contracts for the grill made him a fortune.


Ward is kind of a ****** when it comes to business so i wouldnt be surprised if he signed for low rates.

I heard somewhere that to this day, Foreman makes about 2 grand every hour on grills sold. This coming after the $138 million lump sum they paid him up front.

And I believe Lampley owns a chain of restaurants but don’t quote me on that.
