Do you really think J.Quinn was making $275k per year from BB ??
Not even Lee Haney with his fame, ESPN show ,and the O victory made over 275k that year.
I know it for a fact.
Lee Haney didn't have a $175K per year WBF contract. Some of those WBF guys has $225K per year contracts. Strydom's was the highest-$350K per year.
No "BBer" was making any money in BBing UNTIL the WBF came to town and Weider melted down because McMahon was stealing all the IFBB talent, pretty much on the cheap too.
Then Weider HAD to match the WBF and a bidding war ensued-so average Pros were making 10 times what Haney was making (which was not much).
There were NO exclusive contacts (well, a few-very few i.e. Arnold in the 60/70's, Bertil Fox in the 80's) until the WBF came to town, then it was an all out bidding war.
Beefy is talking a lot of BS, some of it may be true-but I know for a fact the Jim Quinn comments are just straight up bullshit. Plus he made a bullshit comment about Jeep Swenson yesterday that I called him on-so take whatever he says with a heavy dose of skepticism.
