I wasn't having a go at you. Relax. I just find it funny when people say they don't want to be that big as if its something easy to do.

You always hear females saying they just want to be toned instead of having big muscles. My sister was scared of eating protein and working out incase she got too big. lol

a lot of people just arent well informed. they think that doing weights = you being like arnie within a few months, these people obviously have no interest in BB though.

whats the prize money like at these events?

Horrible compared to other sports. Jay makes more money in real estate. I think he makes a good few million a year.

Better off going for endorsments, guest posings, magazine covers ect. or if you're a low tier bber and need to make some money..... g4p. lol.

1. Jay Cutler - 4th Mr O win, $200,000
2. Phil Heath - $100,000
3. Branch Warren - $75,000
4. Dexter Jackson - $50,000
5. Dennis Wolf - $40,000

6. Ronny Rockel - $30,000
7. Kai Greene - $18,000
8. Victor Martinez - $17,000
9. Toney Freeman - $16,000
10. Hidetada Yamagishi - $14,000


If you get injured and can't compete, you lose your income. Only the top few guys make really good money from bbing. Most footballers make more than top bodybuilders in a month. lol.

Prize money used to be terrible, it's all about sponsorship deals. I'd imagine the winner getting around $600k

thats okay i guess, but it could be better, but i suppose the fan base isnt even 1% compared to other sports.

i guess with sponsorship deals, they will get enough free supps to do them a lifetime as well as money to keep them going day to day.

OMG, thats low, especially for being the best in the world at something. i guess the sport/comp just doesnt have a big enough fanbase.

its good to see the number 1 meathead has good business brains on him lol.
 
The Mr.Olympia isn't even shown on tv anymore. It used to be on pay-per-view but no one bought it, so, now its webcast only. lol.

The Arnold Classic is the second biggest bbing show. Heres the 2010 results and prize money.

First Kai Greene $130,000 plus $20,000 watch

Second Phil Heath $ 75,000

Third Branch Warren $50,000

Fourth Dexter Jackson $30,000

Fifth Toney Freeman $15,000

Sixth Ronny Rockel $10,000

Heres the 2006 Mr.Olympia prize money.

- 1st place $155,000

- 2nd place $90,000

- 3rd place $60,000

- 4th place $48,000

- 5th place $38,000

- 6th place $30,000

- 7th place $18,000

- 8th place $17,000

- 9th place $16,000

- 10th place $14,000

- 11th place and under $4,000 each
 
for the amount of time and dedication and money needed to get into the top 10, that is truly horrendous.

i know they don't do it for the money but its good to have as an extra reward and to encourage further growth.
