Damn how you got a number 1 radio show in NY that you get paid somewhere around a million dollars a year ago and still feel the need to run a ponzi scheme smh.

He's a degenerate gambler


It's the same as any of the athletes that go broke. No matter how much money you have made, if there's more going out than coming in you've got a big problem

Cause he was in the hole for 3mill
Needed to front 850k to pay off 35percent of the debt. Then he was gonna consolidate the rest on monthly payments

That means Joe and Evan have to been seen on tv everyday no offense but both have faces that are only made for radio straight scared the fukking kids on Mike's 30 for 30

I don't think they're getting simulcast treatment


With that said, Joe Benigno on TV is gold.

@NYC Rebel I'm still mad Benigno isn't on Jets Post Game

I wonder what he's gonna do to pay off that 800k, the juice is still running on that and the mob doesn't let you file for chapter 11

THey keep saying he was only getting paid 250k goddamn i thought it was more if Mike Francesa is making 5mil a year how they hell is Carton only making 250k

There's no big money in Radio anymore. Aside from Howard Stern, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity.. guys like that, no one's pulling in huge coin... plus remember he's co-hosting. Boomer likely gets paid much more than Carton

Mikes show is wasaaay bigger and been there for 30 years.

Frankly 250 to sit n talk bout sports for 4 hrs a day is great money.

Plus he had other side projects(obviously ) and I think they got money from simulcasting their show on TV. He was making way more than 250K a year, but that salary doesn't sound that off

Lebatard said Jim Rome makes over $30milllion a year so that's why people wrongly assume all these radio guys are at least making a million. He also just sold one of his mansions for $12million and we know he makes money is horse racing. Rome did like Oprah he has alot of sponsors but he owns his main stuff. That's why no matter what sports Network he is own his website,Twitter and radio show location never change.

You guys are crazy they have the number one sports show in NY they are the highest ranked show between the demographic that matters 22 - 54 yr old males and they have more advertisements then Mike and been successful for ten years and the Breakfast club makes more then them GTFOH he should see way more than 250,000k and they have advertisements and they just sold CBS radio on the sole purpose of this show being one of the top three shows in NY morning and he lived in tribeca get the fukk outta here only 250,000 k jesus lol i would be jealous and take shots at Mike too if i bring in more dollars and he works 2 more hours but gets paid 4 mil dollars more LMAO

And i understand Breakfast club is syndicated to due to Iheart trying to save money but if breakfast club got the ratings Boomer and Carton got man they would go crazy and again real talk 250k ain't bad for 4hours of show shyt i would take that in a heartbeat

I'm sure he gets paid for voice over spots he does. They play his shyt all day on the FAN so it can't be just for his show. He definitely had side hustles that upped his bank, but he still was in the hole for millions. What a degenerate gambler.

 

[Morethan1]

How much Dan and Stu make?

 

[Konnan]

So he's in the box right now?

I tried to watch their show a couple of times but I'm not from new York and that's all they really focused on so I bounced
