Gayle took to Twitter to vent his displeasure, claiming Ten hadn't paid him for using a helmet cam during last year's tournament, but the network denies the claims with a spokesperson saying on Saturday that "Network Ten fulfilled its contractual obligations to Chris Gayle and does not owe him any payments".
It is understood Gayle was paid for his use of the helmet cam up until his infamous incident with Mel McLaughlin where he asked the sideline reporter out for a drink on air.
The Renegades fined Gayle $10,000 for his behaviour while Channel Ten ended the contract he had to use their helmet cam.
Gayle did not return to the Big Bash League in Australia this season, although is believed to have been close to signing on with another club.
He has also hinted at a return to the tournament either next season or beyond.
