Looks good right there . for 41
is he still broke?
Rich 100% right.He is one of the few that has the balls to tell it like it is.The NPC and IFBB have been taking advantage of athletes for years.Why do you think BB is a dying sports?Why do you think most bb are broke?.I bet only the top 5 pro bodybuilders in the world make of $100,000 a year.Unless they own a company.BB is in a decline, .Why you ask?Well its expensive as hell and even if you turn pro it cost money to be a pro, do dont get paid to be a professional athelte.I think the winner of the MR USA should get $10, or 25k for the over all.That would bring the competition to a whole nother levelThink about it.It cost about $200-$250 per week to diet for a contest and eat right.A tanning bed, $150 per month unlimited.You got to have a good base tan.Clothes to wear after you put your tan on, because you will ruin your clothes $125.Then you got anabolics.Depending how heavy you use anywhere from $2000-$15000 for a 12 week diet.Then traveling to the show$600, Hotel room $200 for atleast 3 nights.Rent a car $250 for 3-4 days, for a decent car, gas insurance etc etcPlus entry fees $100, NPC card $100 maybe more I forgot?Dont forget posing trunks, good ones $80, custom made.So your dont look like a dam stripper or a cheap ass.Then you got tanning, stuff, dream tan ,Pro Tan or what ever, plus Hot stuff $100These are realiatic Numbers.So no wonder alot of guys dont compete.It costs alot of money plus its a major major sacrifrice .Rich is right.As far as The Mre Olmpia goes he is right.They are holding the best bodybuilding show in the world at a friggin dump.They are charging an arm and a leg for tickets.Plus a 10 ft by 10 ft booth for 3 days is $2500 a pop for vendors.So they can afford to hold the Mr O at Mandalay Bay .Plus to sponsor the show I think is $100,000
