Ehh, there's no reason for Gil to lie about it. They on 5 days a week and they outright own the show. Underdog also has a big bag from the gambling stuff. shyt not far fetched
The fact that they added on more days after they signed the deal, making other shows(mark jackson, stat, then a gaming focused one), got someone like OJ on there regularly, shyt aint cheap and speaks to the bag they working with. No one is saying they getting 40M a year. Probably over 3 years.
You basing stuff on the presentation/setup when bigger moves are being made behind the scenes. Why blow money on the presentation/setup when it works?
Gils got a big bag for S2 and they setup/presentation the same.
