Sports wouldn’t be the same without all of the various components that come together to make it possible. The fans, the arenas, the coaches, and, of course, the reporters and analysts all make significant contributions to the lore of the game’s history. Few people can bring these competitive games to life like Erin Andrews and Mike Golic, who are both well-known personalities. They make millions of dollars covering major events such as the Super Bowl or the NBA Finals, but it is not an easy road. What is their annual salary, and who receives the highest compensation?

$500,000 – Molly Qerim

For the first time, Molly Qerim gained national attention when she took over as the moderator of ESPN’s First Take. The anchor collaborates with a few other people, whom we will discuss later, and has contributed to the show’s rise to one of the highest-rated sports talk shows on television. Qerim previously hosted NFL AM and NFL Fantasy Live on NFL Network, which helped him land the ESPN gig. During her time in the sports industry, she has reported on all of the major sporting events, including the NBA Draft and the Super Bowl.

$5 Million – Mike Golic

The Mike & Mike radio show is a favourite of any sports fan who listens to it on a regular basis. The show has been a mainstay on ESPN for more than 15 years and continues to be so. With their show, Golic and Greenburg infuse much-needed vigor into everyone’s mornings, which is greatly appreciated. His other job as an analyst for ESPN and ESPN2’s coverage of college and NFL football is to provide commentary on the game. Golic is always talking about sports, so you can bet that whatever he says or does will be good.
