*sarcasm on*
Michael Phelps must eat about 20,000 calories a day. If bodybuilders are eating 6-12k to put on a few lbs of muscle for their extremely strenuous 12 set shoulder workouts, there is no way Phelps is eating 4k calories a day. Gold medal winning olympians have nothing on the "athletes" of the IFBB.

Hard to believe all the calories they must digest

i dont' know, but he's got a ton of sponsors. doesn't he get to be on a wheaties box, which brings $1 m with it?
i know it pales in comparison to your typical ifbb pro's payday, but hey, we can't all be Sami El-Igiveheadfor My CarElPaintjobs.

Bahahaha
Yes, the sponsors. Some already have him on payroll, I'd think fees skyrocket marketing value wise should he reign supreme

How about Cutler's Three Sandows?
He is such a marketer that I bet his Three O wins have already trumed what Coleman made directly and indirectly from the O wins

Michael Phelps is a shitty athlete. Real athletes get winded walking up a flight of stairs and need an oxygen tank after posing in a thong for a bunch of men.

plust at 6'4" and 195 lbs, he's got no "functional" strength being that light. He probably doesn't even carb deplete the day before.
In my opinion, unless you risk death by dehydration or drug abuse, you are not an athlete.
Also, all sports events must be preceded by an old guy with a moustache oiling you up.

that's his point. Cutler's marketing genius makes everyone think that 2 = 3!!!

Right ;D.
But fatso doesn't pick up on the 'tongue-in-cheek isms' we often spew here.
I am assuming he's already got next month in the bag

He's probably on more gear than Dennis Wolf and Markus Ruhl combined.

Really.
That does not sound right....

that's just the bonus the us government will give them. like in any sport, sponsorship is key.
-
Maybe it meant that certain goverments will pay 20K for each medal performance you earn gold in. Not the actual value of the medal?

There is NO comparison between a bb and an Olympic Athlete.

also, i heard in all sports but bodybuilding, you're a "pro" because you make a few million a year, not because you get a card that says you're a pro that you have to pay for. do you think nba players carry around a card that says " Kobe Bryant, Professional Basketball player, card expires 12/09"?
also, to become a pro in other sports depends on your skill set , not on your blowjob skills like bodybuilding.

Kamali has a Puma contract, so whatchu guys talkin about?

I personally find that having God given talent for these "sports" makes you a pussy. Real athletes compensate by taking massive amounts of designer steroids and other chemicals. Nothing wrong with trying to be something you're really not!
- Team IFBB!

who is micheal phelps ?
8 gold medals, that's awesome. He should try a real sport like bodybuilding to see what he is made of

here are a few:
'Today, Matsunichi — a little-known Hong Kong-based consumer electronics company eager to expand in Asia and Europe and enter the U.S. market — will announce that it has signed Phelps to be its chief spokesman for the next four years.
That means he'll make TV commercials and do personal appearances worldwide.
Although the size of the contract — which runs through the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing — was not disclosed, sports marketing executives estimate it could exceed $4 million over the four years. That would rank it among the largest deals signed by an Olympic athlete.'
'Speedo announced the extension of an endorsement deal with world-record swimmer Michael Phelps through 2009. This is Speedo's richest swimwear sponsorship to date.
