Was ‘Undisputed’ the end of Shannon Sharpe?s legacy?
In a significant shakeup for sports talk television, the long-standing era of Shannon Sharpe and Skip Bayless on FS1’s ‘Undisputed’ came to an end this year. He had been a fixture on ‘Undisputed’ since its launch in September 2016 alongside co-host Skip Bayless.
The dynamic duo’s heated debates and contrasting viewpoints made ‘Undisputed’ a must-watch program for sports enthusiasts. However, a disparity in their salaries became apparent during contract negotiations in 2021. At the time, Bayless was earning an impressive $6 million per year, while Sharpe’s earnings amounted to $3 million annually.
