"In the end, it had nothing to do with money," Josh Elliott claimed in his interview with People Magazine. Really??!! So, why was he re-negotiating with the ABC network for a new contract paying $10 million? Obviously, money must have been a primary factor. If not, he certainly would not have made a decision to negotiate instead with the NBC network after learning from ABC that he may be worth receiving an additional $1 million on his current $4 million contract - but he surely was not worth paying $10 million. Like a spoilt child, presuming he would stick it to ABC, he decided to quit and take a position with NBC Sports. Ironically, they, too, have seen his worth as no more than $4 million!!?? What is so troubling about this case is the greed of this man who was already making so much more money than an ordinary person who can only dream of earning such an enormous salary. One thing though is, even if Josh Elliott may believe that he's "all that" and ABC cannot do without him, he will quickly realize that he can very easily be replaced like anyone else. The show will go on and even may be more successful without him.
