      All I know is Paulie is making a hell of a lot less since he got fired from Showtime.

        I don't think money gets talked about much with announcers. Maybe when HBO was around it got talked about with those guys, but these days you don't hear much.

          Probably depends on how often they appear. Bernstein and company, for example, get to appear only 3-5 times a year. How many Saturdays do we have in a year, 52? Are they getting paid all year for 3-5 days work?

            I think they get paid per appearance.

            I remember reading an article about Antonio Tarver that mentioned how much he made before getting fired, I think it was like 10K per show.

              I remember that but for guys with a deal with the networks I think they get a salary.

                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

                  If Lennox Lewis makes more than $5/ hour, he's overpaid.

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