Weeks After Signing $85,000,000 Deal With ESPN, Pat McAfee Showed off His High-End Rolex at the ESPYS
Pat McAfee is rolling in new money after signing a massive five-year, $85 million deal, with ESPN, and he brought the money to the ESPYs, sporting a Rolex Presidential. The watch was a gift from his wife, and McAfee made sure there was no delay in making sure his wrist was iced out. Pat McAfee is one of the premier sports analysts in the NFL world, and people were disappointed to hear that he was switching to ESPN. However, he’ll be delivering just as good content on ESPN, and with the money, he’ll be walking around sporting a few more Rolex’s.
The ESPYs are like the Oscars for the sporting world. They recognize the top sporting talent from all across the world, across all sports. It’s a star-studded show, and guests like Pat McAfee regularly go to the event. This year’s ESPYs recognized top talent from the NFL and all across the world. The award for the Best Team went to the Kansas City Chiefs, and the award for the Best Athlete in men’s sports went to Patrick Mahomes. It shows that NFL athletes can compete with anyone in the world.
Pat McAfee Sports a Deluxe $38,500 Rolex Presidential at the ESPYs
ESPN did a feature of the ESPYs, and it included Gary Striewski going around asking athletes and celebrities about their watch collections.
The first person on the video was none other than Pat McAfee himself. McAfee was in his classic black shirt and sunglasses getup, but he was also sporting some ice on his wrist.
“This is a watch uh that my wife got me,” he explained. “A gift from her I believe they call it a presidential. Okay I’m not a very presidential human being but it does make me look cool. And uh I guess people say there’s a chance I’m going to end up on Gary’s watch content, so that’s why.”
It’s a very thoughtful gift from Pat McAfee’s wife, especially considering how ridiculously expensive watches from Rolex can get. You can expect McAfee to be wearing his Rolex around much more now.
McAfee Took ESPN Deal to Focus On Content
Pat McAfee’s deal with ESPN is massive. $85 million is no small number, but the number is also a decrease from his FanDuel contract which was worth $120 million over four years.
So, why did he take the new deal? Well, while he had more financial security with FanDuel, ESPN is simply a much bigger platform. He also doesn’t plan to change anything massive about the content he creates including the creative vision.
He won’t cede control over the creativity of his content, and he is also bringing his crew along with him including former Packers LB A.J. Hawk.
