What did he Lose?

Maybe, he is so obsessed with his daughters and they're bringing up because he knows the pain and grief of losing a child. He and his wife had lost twins earlier on 1996. The twins had to be prematurely evacuated after just six months. While the elder one, Creighton, was stillborn, Connor, the second child, died after six months of birth because of fatal problems with his liver, kidney, eyes and lungs.

Amazing Net Worth:

Mayne has an incredible net worth of estimated 8 million dollars. He still holds his job in ESPN and does some other random ventures. So, his salary can be expected to be of 3 million dollars.

He hosts the ‘Kenny Mayne’s Wilder World of Sports’ and also a weekly segment known as ‘The Mayne Event. He is a contributor for Sunday NFL Countdown. He is also the author of the pseudo-memoir book, ‘An Incomplete & Inaccurate History of Sport’. He used to be the co-anchor of ‘Sportscentre’ on and off, but he signed his final contract with ‘Sportscentre’ on October 15, 2013, for 70 episodes and ten special features per year through 2015.

A Comedian Journalist:

Mayne is not only known for being a journalist but also a comedian for ESPN. Aside from a few laughs he generates through his hosting, he also covers a few stories intended towards comedy. ‘The Mayne Street,' the first web-series of ESPN that was run by Kenny Mayne, as a fictional version of himself, was a comedy series itself.
