Yeah but Phil will probably end up a millionaire if he hasn't yet, gets good sponserships, exposure while flex can only live in the past and hustle someone like the rhino for cash. Then we have levrone and his "levronepumpformula" and "levronereport and finally Cormier hustling with his personal training at Venice golds. Epic truth!!!
If you're a bber there is no denying you would want to be in phils shoes.
Agreed
And not to be funny, but I'll be anyway,
Guys like levrone, flex and cormier. Dillet too. 4 of the most genetically gifted men for bbing ever. Tiny joints, great frames, structure, full muscle bellies, perfect insertions, flow, and amazing response
Plus a massive fan base, they competed in the 90s mainly and it was a very strong era, yet we're all still talking about them
My point is, how the fuck can they not make and keep some cash?
Did they think they would look like that forever and be able to hustle indefinitely?
They had lots going for them, and it was shown by guys like sarcev and mattarazzo (not good examples as role models, I know) that you don't have to win a pro show to make money, they were hugely popular and couldve worked every week for years and if saved and invested smart, couldve done well.
Same for guys like de mayo and titus, whom as amateurs were doing very very well
Its the typical hustler mentality, easy come, easy go. Then later you beg for donations for medical bills and cry bout a kidney, and keep hustling at another level.
Winning the olympia makes it easier, but you don't have to. There was a time when platz was making more money than any other pro, same for shawn.
What they did with the $, I don't know...
