Super Bowl VIII will be called by Tony Romo and Jim Nantz, who will team up to call the biggest match of the year for the third time in their commentary careers.
Super Bowl Sunday is in Las Vegas for the very first time, and this year’s match between the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers will be commentated on by two familiar voices in the broadcast booth, Tony Romo and Jim Nantz.
The famous commentators will reunite at the booth for Super Bowl LVIII, which will be their third collaboration for Super Bowl commentary.
People are curious about the amount of money these well-known commentators make for their job.
Instead of a single payment, CBS provides them with a yearly salary. The New York Post reports that Romo, the ex-Dallas Cowboys quarterback, receives an annual salary of £13.5 million from CBS. In 2020, he inked a multi-year deal valued at approximately £80 million. According to Sportskeeda, Nantz allegedly earns approximately £4 million annually from CBS in salary. The net value of the legendary football and golf announcer is believed to be around £12 million.
Nevertheless, his partner in commentary, Romo, who had a tenure of 14 seasons with the Cowboys, possesses a greater wealth. According to Celebrity Net Worth, Romo’s prosperous journey both as a player and an analyst has resulted in an estimated net worth of £55 million. Nantz finds it exciting to announce the most important game of the year for the seventh time, particularly since the final game will take place in Las Vegas. In a previous statement to The Athletic, he expressed his enthusiasm, saying,
“This will be the ninth Super Bowl I have been involved in and the seventh time I have provided commentary for the game.” He expresses enthusiasm for a new host city, mentioning Las Vegas as a prominent destination known for more than just gambling.
Las Vegas has been renowned for hosting various events, such as prize fights and extravagant entertainment shows, attracting the biggest and most impressive performers.
“Now we have the opportunity and duty to record the largest event in the history of Las Vegas. Some may think it sounds like an exaggeration, but I challenge you to provide a bigger event.
There is simply nothing grander.”
