Neil Everett's career earnings: What was the sports presenter's contract with ESPN?
Although the exact details of Neil Evertt's ESPN deal have not been revealed, sources claim Neil Everett was earning around $700,000 per year from his contract with SportsCenter.
Moreover, his career earnings have not been made public but the numbers should be in a few million at least.
As per reports, Evertt opted to leave ESPN after he was given a contract with a pay cut, similar to the one that Kenny Mayne rejected in 2021. However, some claim that the contract that he signed in July 2021, was simply not renewed due to the company's decision to cut staff.
