Even before all this DB, Duffy, RC drama, I often wondered what was really in it for a guy like RC. He’s missing a lot of weekends with the kids. How much could they be paying him to make it worth it after all these years of traveling and being away? Surely he’s not hurting for money right? Maybe he lost a lot in the divorce? It just doesn’t track with me why this gig is so important to him. It’s not like it’s just a natural talent. So what drives him? Trying to stay relevant?
Three fitty?
Seams to be a popular question

A very recent comment was made that RC makes somewhere around $10k per show and it was speculated being double of most. I can't remember what pod I heard this on but I'm thinking it was a pretty reputable person.
For a F&$*&N Diffy!!!!!???

I was in a dunking booth once and got paid a hotdog and a coke

I don't think they're in it for the money.
I think its Ego.
Really? So he's getting paid 10 bucks for every time he butchers the English language, provides zero analysis and gives the wrong take?
You get paid in insults, the bonuses are outrageous🤪
I heard it was like $17 an hour
I know apples to oranges,
Brady signed a 10-year contract with Fox worth a whopping $375 million to become the network's lead color analyst for NFL games, alongside play-by-play commentator Kevin Burkhardt. The figure was first reported in 2023 by the New York Post.
Haha. Every time RC speaks all I can think is home school/no school. You would think a basic requirement for an announcer on a major network would be basic grammar skills.
Some of the most intelligent and successful people in my life never went to college....one never even finished grade school.
Nothing wrong with home schooling done right. Not a freaking chance I'd send my kids to a public school today....
Some of the dumbest M'effers I've come across are college educated.
Carmicheal surely doesn't need that chump change.
I've heard Will gets 500 for every minute she speaks during the night show
Troublemaker.....
Pit Row
$500 seems low?
Id be interested to see how the breakdown of pay goes for the broadcast team. I doubt JT, Will, Brayton, and AC are pulling great money but they are on TV. Streaming has been a paycut for most actors vs when it was all broadcast tv, SX may have followed suit. Wonder what Leigh vs Weege's quotes are.
The only business more cut throat than racing is show business.
He is not doing it for the money.....it feeds his narcissistic needs because he is still called the GOAT and gets to prance around as "the man". Nobody gives a damn "who he is" staying home with his kids.
I did that and got the same pay too!
Didn't DB say he was getting $5k. Something like, 5, 5, 6.
Average 72k a full time Walmart stocker makes that. And no travel is required. A easy local commercial paid 5,800 in 92 I did. Anoucing must pays fortune the way they fight ovr it or create drama ovr the job. All kinds of members on here top 10k a week I bet . 5 yrs ago u could make 30k+ 60k a week depending on where u ran. Now it’s barely 1k if that.
Is that the girl ? If so I heard it’s a multi base salary. Which includes .05 per character - letter that posted on here . About her irritating voice. The biggest Question is how much does Dave’s Lee the voice of SX get paid ? My voice a Wayy better Sexier & Hotter. Ohh Yeah . Too many women would b rioting trying to bust in . To b like the others when they here my voice uncontrollably running there hands all over there bodies with there head leaned back. Throwing there bras & panties onto the track . But the Lame camera crew fails to capture the action. Ricky would say oh no it Looks like Rokzen has a few panties stuck in his front wheel , oh noo poor Kenny. He was so consistent this yr until the thousands of panties showered the track .
RC is the worst of the worst at commentating. More than once, 'making lemonade from lemons'. What the hell does that mean? Get him out!
Bring back Art Eckman, he has more life in him.
SX announcing is a springboard into other announcing that’s bigger!
Pfffffft, that’s chump change!
I don’t sidle up to a microphone for less than $10,001.00 a day.
You think a Walmart stocker makes 72k?
Yeah 1 in Green Bay said he made that he said the insurance could b better , he works a lot of ot. I did annoucing at a local Mx track . I was paid in food hsmberburgers& bratwurst . Like I said what does David Lee make ? Trucking is SUPER dead . And will b for yrs. Got a buisness u want promoted ? 25k for 1 minute of my voice . I think that’s reasonable. If u heard it u would agree. Oh yeah
