Overview

• Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy said on FS1’s Wake Up Barstool that Brady is being paid $75 million to play in the Fanatics Flag Football Classic in Riyadh.
• Brady responded on X by mocking the report and rejecting the $75 million figure, asking if people were just picking numbers out of a hat.
• Portnoy doubled down, saying that was the number he was told and inviting Brady onto the show to discuss the claim.
• No contracts or compensation details have been confirmed by organizers or networks, and Awful Announcing reported Fox had not commented.
• Brady is slated to participate in the March 21, 2026 Riyadh event backed by Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment Authority alongside a roster of current and former NFL stars and notable coaches.
