Pat McAfee does not make $5 million more than Stephen A. Smith. Pat McAfee licenses his show to ESPN for $21 million a year, but the production and all of the costs of running the Pat McAfee Show fall on Pat McAfee. So, Stephen A. Smith certainly makes more money than Pat McAfee because Stephen A. Smith does not produce his show, he does not have to pay the talent on his show, and he does not have to provide the studio, equipment, or all of the individuals needed to run a 3-hour live show 5 days a week. That is very misleading.
@@Tremelle_ he really doesn’t. Not a significant one. He has an audience THROUGH AND BECAUSE of ESPN but not outside of them. If ESPN let go of Stephen A today his relevance would nose dive and he’d have to build it up solo which is what Shannon and Mcafee have already done. ESPN could let go of Shannon and Mcafee right now and it wouldn’t hurt their brand or pockets at all. Shannon and Mcafee l just use ESPN as more promotion for their already existing personal brands and ESPN gave them so much money because they were hoping they could chip off some of Shannon’s and Macafee’s audience and also use them to keep ESPN relevant. Anyone that follows or knows Stephen A only knows him because of ESPN
SAS is annoying to me he just has the same routine yell tell and yell. I can’t watch ESPN because of this I only watch when games are played. I may be the minority but he just irritates me. Charles Barkley should take his place
💵 Do you think Stephen A will land the $100m deal??
Nice video. Please do one on Shannon Sharpe.

Strictly talking salary at ESPN, not overall earnings!
Great editing!
Stephen A sees the money Mcafee and shannon are getting but isn’t considering the audience they built before and outside of ESPN
He has an audience outside of ESPN.

He never touched the court at WSSU. It’s a lie.
