why would they charge for their signatures?? and
who the hell will pay for an autograph by a nobody???
-
Cause in their little minds, they are famous..... ::)
-
Lou is going to charge you $20.00 for posting this.
-
why not? some hollywood stars charge as well.
-
I think Lou is the only person who charges for an "autograph," otherwise the rest of hte pros only charge for photos with autographs on them. whether or not you get your photo autographed the price is the same. Also, if you walk up to them at an expo with a Flex magazine with them on the cover and ask them to autograph it they wont charge you.
So the charging is for the photo not the autograph.
Fans would like an autograph when they go to meet a pro, and unless they bring something for them to get an autograph on...the normal thing to do is get a photo from them...noe ons is going to bring a blank piece of paper from home for them to sign.
Also, a popular bodybuilder can easily make $3,000 in one session from selling autographed photos. Most celebrities would not refuse $3,000 in 4 hours for meeting fans and signing autographs, so why should bodybuilders? It adds to their income.

yes they claim a small percentage and pocket the rest

Well if people are willing to, why not?
You may not consider them famous or anything, but from what i've heard, people are willing to line up for like 2 hours to get an autograph from Cutler.

A fool and his money are soon parted. :-[

I never understood autographs. It's just someone signing their name.

You must have been smoking some good stuff to wait that long! ;D
-

because they need all the money they can get
poor
-
Well, if people are willing to pay them for their signatures, any person will accept the money.
I personally would never pay a bber for his/her signature.
-
sorry but if someone charges money for their autograph than they are a sad piece of human being and deserves to die by the sword.
-

Sometimes. If you have a collectible, and you get it signed, it can double (and even more depending on the scarcity) the 'value.' It's all supply and demand. I'll give you a non bbing example (sorry): Buy a Gretzky jersey in a store. Cost: maybe 100 clams. Get it signed, and you've easily doubled its worth. Great conversation piece, too. A Namath helmet? Same thing. A Nasser t-shirt? Well, you have a t-shirt. :D

in person none charge

Exactly!
Most of them purchase the 8x10 glossy's themselves so it is their way of getting back themoney they paid to have 100 or so let's say of the 8x10's with a little extra for them for the leg work etc...
It makes sense. If they are at a sponsored booth at some trade show then usually it's on the house. If it is just them and they are acting as independent contractors-if you will- then they hit it up for a sawbuck.
Unless you're a greedy greaseball momo like 'Big Lou'.

Why is Lou SO money hungry? I would think he would have enough money invested.
-
i love autographs.............. on LARGE checks ! ;)
You're so funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-

It is probably because stupid lame TOOL box homos wait in line happy to dish over a $20 to buy one. Supply/Demand. I don't blame him...I blame the assholes who think he is special.
-

Lou is by no means a well off guy.
He made good money for the 4 years he did the Hulk, and a little bit of money on his small part TV roles, which pay union scale. But add that up and divide it by the 53 years he has been around and it is not a whole lot.
So he is not as well off as you think, even being the second most well know BBer in the world behind Arnold.

probably, i already wondered why a millionaire would still be on expo booths selling hulk t shirts and autgraphs.

You son, have only speculation regarding Lou.
The Beef ain't saying Lou's rich, but he always had the best / highest paying Weider contract, would be receiving residual checks for his TV work and The Beef suspects Lou gets more then scale when he does work.
Stay good and fucken clear of The Beef while you're on this board. You strike The Beef a fucken know-it-all -Lawyer and last bitch who practiced law and played with The Beef is still in timeout.
Your on notice . . .

Seriously, Big Lou has no contract with anyone. He had a Weider contract in the early 90's for a year or two, but that was it.
As for what Lou makess, unlkess you're a major star in motion pictures, or you are the STAR of a TV show-you make scale.
Lou is not a motion picture star, and he does not have he own TV series. Lou has bit parts on one current sit com, and appears in bit parts in motion pictures. He gets scale.
Get back to me if you ned more instruction Beefy! I'm here to help.
-
You guys are funny as hell about trying to figure out if Lou has money or not. Believe me he has money. Not even close to Arnold but he is doing very well. You guys forget about residuals and appearance fees he gets. He more than likely must own a piece of the Hulk franchise. If he goes around doing anythign with the Hulk attached I am sure it is because he owns a piece of it. Have you seen his IMDB. And if you think he gets scale in all his TV appearances you are wrong. Especially when he is playing himself in a show and the bit was written especially for him. You get more than just scale. Some of his shows have gone into syndication which means he is getting more money too. He usually charges a $5,000 appearance fee to plus he sells his pics. Carla is not stupid either. I am sure they have some good investments. So you guys are so far off its funny reading.

Lou does NOT own a piece of the HULK TV series.
He would get a residual IF it were in syndication, but it is not, and to my knowledge never has been. I do not know of any other show he has been on where he would be entitled to residuals, and that would include the King of Queens, if it were in syndication, which it is not. Only the stars get residuals, not people who guest appear or who have non recurring roles, like Lou does on King of Queens.
And Keith, if you see what Lou sells, it never has the Hulk trademark name attached to it, becuase he would have to get permission to use the name. He sells pics and things in the hulk make up-but they never say "Hulk" on them.
No one would EVER pay Lou $5K for an appearance, ever. If I am wrong name one for me.

I recall reading in People Mag that Lou made $1,500 per week for shooting the Hulk.
I also read in the same article (written during his Master's comeback) that he owned two homes.
And I am fairly certain he is 56 years old ( 4 years Arnold's junior)

Why would that stuff seem so fabulous that it'd could only be lies?
You say bullshit bc you have not lived long enough to experience anything of significance yet, I'd bet.

on the contrary I would pay him 5k if he threw in a rusty trombone and let me ear fck him.

Jeez I hope you don't tell anyone about this "only stars get residuals". Sorry but you have no idea what you are talking about. I'm glad too since I receive residuals from shows I was on and I was never the star. So please keep that under your hat. I don't want to have to pay them back. I know several people who make over $250,000 a year just from residuals and they were never a star or barely seen on camera. So please don't tell me about an industry that I was a part of and know about. Oh by the way, you get residuals as long as the show aires. Everytime it is shown somewhere in the world you get paid. Syndication just means you get a little or a lot more cause it is showing in more markets. To this day I still get residuals from shows I did 20+ years ago. Get your facts straight before posting.
And I have no idea about the Hulk deals. I would hope he would have had some kind of deal from them but if not then its his own fault. His standard fee is $5,000 for an appearance plus expenses. I should know I have asked him twice to appear at my shows and Carla does the dealing for him. So email him and see how much you can get him for. If it is less than $5,000 then pass that along to promoters, they would love to save the money.

Its already been posted that Lou gets zero resides from the Hulk series*(His brother actually posted it on another board years ago)...Some even speculated that is why he is such an ass these days...And why on earth would you bring up Arnold and Lou in the same context about money...Lou couldn't shine arnold's shoes in terms of money...Quit acting like you know everything about Hollywood...When some one decides to make the movie Fat man in a little coat, you may have a chance in getting the role as long as its a silent film...Until then, move forward and come out of the closet for crying out loud...

Actually Keith, I think you said that Lou MAKES $$$ from residuals, and you also said Lou gets $5K for gueat appearances.
I called bullshit on both. We now know I was right about the residual issue, so it looks like you're the one who needs to get facts straight.
He more than likely must own a piece of the Hulk franchise. If he goes around doing anythign with the Hulk attached I am sure it is because he owns a piece of it.
Some of his shows have gone into syndication which means he is getting more money too.

You wrote that, not me.
NO ONE is paying an old washed up has been like Lou $5K for anything. I doubt he could even pull $500 for a "guest appearance".

HAHAAHAH thanks for proving my point. You know nothing.

HAHAAHAH thanks for proving my point. You know nothing.
Errr, OK Keith.
I know nothing.
$100 buck says you can't prove up one single guest appearance Lou has done in the last year where he got paid the $5K you said he gets.
Money talks, bullshit walks.
Now where are you walking to?? ;D

"20 bucks bitch"
(doing worst Louie immitation) 8)

There's no way he pulls $5,000. I bet you Zena the Warrior Princess makes about that and she is a much bigger star than Lou. Also, I can imagine Marvel was very greedy back then when they were involved with the Hulk show, which explains why he doesn't get residuals. Comic book creators and such have been complaining about that type of thing for over 30 years.
I think it is more like Lou is doing the old overcharging-for-consulting trick on Onlyme. If you are a consultant and you don't want a project, you quote a price that you would be shocked to see accepted.
-
why not? some hollywood stars charge as well.
Name one Hollywood star who charges a fan for an autograph out in the public's eye like Louza Ferrigno does...
Just one!

hahaah why do I need to prove it. Call him yourself. You know him so well. Call him and ask him to come to a show you are putting on. Of course that might be hard to convince him since you have no idea, but go ahead call him tomorrow and ask him to appear and see what he says. Then you can come back on here and apologize and get on your knees and beg forgiveness. Thanks again for proving my point.
-

You guys are funny. When a star goes to any show to sign autographs he gets paid very very well by the promoter. Anytime you see a picture or item signed by a star they got paid for it. Some guys make $100,000 in a day. Look up how much Joe Dimaggio got for signing I think it was 250 bats. If a star is anywhere signing autographs for a function where people are going to to get an autograph that is organized they are getting paid. Very few will actually sit down and charge a fee to individuals but some do. Like Burt Ward and Adam West does since I personally saw them do it. It was $10.
-
Another one I just thought of was Willie Mays when he was in Hawaii. I sat three tables away from him. He also stormed out of there very upset because no one was standing in his line.

I dont need to call him b/c I already know the answer.
Besides, someone saying they WANT $5K for an appearance and someone GETTING $5K for an appearance are not the same thing. Who said Lou gets $5K? You did. Who said Lou owns part of the Hulk franchise? You did. Who said Hulk was in syndication? You did. Here is what YOU said;

OK, now we know your bullshit won't work here, and you talk the talk but won't walk the walk.
Point proven. Thanks Keith (and don't sweat the C spot, I know you would have never paid up - or so Hurricane Beefy says).

Dude I now understand your problem. You have no comprehensive skills. Again you have proved your ignorance. Thanks. Oh what happened to YOUR statement only the stars get residuals. Thought I forgot about that one uh. Dude you have no idea what you are talking about. But, hey if you want to keep pretending go ahead. I have the luxury of knowing about this business and not just reading about it on the internet or seeing on the doors of pay toilets like you. So far you haven't proved shit nor even come close.
Oh by the way I think I admitted about the Hulk thing and him owning it. "And I have no idea about the Hulk deals. I would hope he would have had some kind of deal from them but if not then its his own fault." See son when I am wrong I have no problem admitting it. you on the other hand just don't know any better. Please keep what you are good at whatever that may be. But don't try to pretend you know something about something you know nothing about. Now go play on another thread you might have something constructive to say. If not, start your own thread on "Flipping Burgers" I'm sure you will be very factual with your posts.

Wow, what a meltdown.
And yes, we all know that you "know the business" being such a big "star" ::) and all.
Thanks for the info-and like I said-don't worry about the C-note, word on the board is you don't pay up.

Yes well thanks for playing. Now go back to pretending. You lost. :)

why do bodybuilders charge money for autographs??
To buy groceries to feed their families. Hope this helps.
-

Yeah I "lost"..Err...OK.
Thing is when I "lose" I always pay up...... Opps.... That must get you upset, my bad.
Now pay Beefy the C note you owe him you welcher.

You guys are funny as hell about trying to figure out if Lou has money or not. Believe me he has money. Not even close to Arnold but he is doing very well. You guys forget about residuals and appearance fees he gets. He more than likely must own a piece of the Hulk franchise. If he goes around doing anythign with the Hulk attached I am sure it is because he owns a piece of it. Have you seen his IMDB. And if you think he gets scale in all his TV appearances you are wrong. Especially when he is playing himself in a show and the bit was written especially for him. You get more than just scale. Some of his shows have gone into syndication which means he is getting more money too. He usually charges a $5,000 appearance fee to plus he sells his pics. Carla is not stupid either. I am sure they have some good investments. So you guys are so far off its funny reading.
I guess that explains why Lou has been relegated to charging eight year olds $20 for his autograph and suing family members and insurance companies.
-
why would they charge for their signatures?? and
who the hell will pay for an autograph by a nobody???
Because they are such huge superstars.
-
it always cracks me up when i see those "guys" on these expos buying a signatured photograph.
-
Some of my family members are involved in major Hollywood movie making business ..... Grinch/The Village/X-Men/Superman/Next/ etc. and even though he wasn't a major leading star, he counts on those residual checks to keep him going between major projects.
I attended the special showing for cast and crew of NEXT (EVEN CAME WITH A FREE BAG OF POPCORN AND A SMALL DRINK) and found myself sitting next to the guy who competes against Cage for the girl in the diner. I wanted to tell him he did a good job but he and his GF were too engrossed in the movie to bother them. Everyone at that showing was involved in making that film in one way or another so that movie got a standing ovation when it ended. I guess I was the only one who didn't understand it at all.
Another family member was a stuntman and he got checks just about every week in the mail. I asked him who kept track of those payments, but he didn't have the slightest idea. He did a hell of a lot of stuntwork in How the West Was Won and was a good friend of Anthony Quinn and other top stars so he did well in Hollywood.
I forget what SAG exactly says about residuals but it is my undertanding that anyone whose name appears in the on screen credits, receives residual checks.
Keith knows this stuff better than I do though.
-

Yes, exactly, Lou has the big bucks coming in from his "acting" work, and that is why he goes to BBing shows at age 57 and charges little kids 20 buck a pop.
And anyone who in reality believes this has a few screws loose, and needs professional help.
Pathetic.

Residuals were not even around until the late 70's/early 80's. The Hulk was a late 70's show. Lou does not get shit.
All the people on TV shows before then get zero-whether their name is on the screen or not.
I know Keith will come on here acting like he is some expert know it all expert and back it up with pure bullshit-but those are the facts. Re runs and syndication were not even around then, and NO MONEY/residuals gave any money-mostly because back then there were only 3 major stations plus few small UHF stations. Re runs and syndication were not really around before the late 70's.
Bob Denver from Gilligan's Island, all the kids on the Brady Bunch, the Partridge Family and all those other sit coms get zero residuals. They all bitch about it too. The Three Stooges, biggest comedy act in the history of TV (behind I love Lucy), they don't get anything from any stooges show, ever. The shows are owned by Columbia and there is nothing in their contract that allowed for residuals because no one knewthe shows would ever be shown again.
OK, lets see our #1 Bullshitter come on and make up an answer to this. And then tell everyone we are all idiots.

I also await Keith's response. Lou sounds to me like a low-rent bum and I doubt he is even worth a million these days. John Romano himself said that he sold maybe 150 autographed photos at the 2006 Olympia.

for the cash which is tax free or nearly tax free

You do know Pete Rose, OJ and a bunch of others who took money under the table/tax free at these sports shows have been busted.
They end up with felony convictions, not to mention a shit load of back taxes, penalties and fees. If you get caught it can cause major problems. But if Lou only sells 100-150 ($2K-$3K @ 20 bucks a pop) autographs per show-with only 2 big shows a year-he is still small potatoes.
-
Hey Keith, what do you reckon Will smith makes off residuals for Fresh prince of belair, thats still on TV all over the world
-
Residuals were not even around until the late 70's/early 80's. The Hulk was a late 70's show. Lou does not get shit.

hahaha seriously are you a moron. I never said once he got residuals from the Hulk. I know way more than you will know about residuals, I get them you don't. You stated he didn't residuals from any show, you stated only "the stars" get residuals. it just shows how ignorant you are and how you outed yourself. Dude give it a rest. You are talking about something you know nothing about. Honestly how stupid can you be.
By the way why don't you tell us some of your expertise background in the industry so you can have some kind of validity to your statements. We will wait ::)
I also await Keith's response. Lou sounds to me like a low-rent bum and I doubt he is even worth a million these days. John Romano himself said that he sold maybe 150 autographed photos at the 2006 Olympia.
And you guys think because Lou charges $20 he has no money. Honestly how dumb does that sound. If he is charging it still after all these years then he must be making some money from it. Add that with his appearance fee for each show he attends and figuring he doesn't pay for his travel or expenses while appearing he is doing okay just from that. You guys all talk out of your asses. The only things you know is what you read. And you believe everything you read. Get some talent, get an agent then go to work then you you talk with some kind of intelligence on this subject.
-
why would they charge for their signatures?? and
who the hell will pay for an autograph by a nobody???
Because there are people out there dumb enough to pay for them...

I don't think Lou has no money, I think that his income is not likely to be anything special. Maybe a few hundred thousand a year, which is a great income, but really nothing to boast about these days.
Keith: how much money do you make each month in residuals? Exact figures please.

I don't know anyone that charges for an autograph who is on the bodybuilding, figure or fitness circuit or refuses to take a picture unless it is Lou Ferrigno. What they do charge, usually $5 or $10 is if you want an autographed 8x10 that they sell.
If you go up to someone, and ask for an autograph in your own book, t-shirt, etc - they oblige.
As for residuals, some of my writer friends who are not making any money now are happy they are getting residual checks from past shows. Not everyone gets it, but actors, writers, producers, directors and others do. Each contract is a little different.
-
$20 bucks to say hello and get an autograph? No thanks
-
Oh shit-I didn't know you were such a STAR...my bad.
2 fucking credits from 21 years ago. I bet you get residuals every week from that big movie career. ::)

They showed Lou Ferrigno's house and family in a brief Flex Magazine article in the late 90's, or early 2000's - cant remember now, but it was a very big/nice house.
Onlyme - dont be bothered by "JohnyVegas," he thinks that all you need is a person's name to find out exactly what they are worth - as he also kept trying to say that he did some searches and found that Nasser had no ownings ::)
-
$20 bucks to say hello and get an autograph? No thanks
For Lou.
For others, zero to say hello and get an autograph. $10 to get an 8x10 colored picture with an autoraph, etc. It is fair.

Why would you want to know my residuals. But since I have not done a thing in the industry since 1995 I recieve about $4 a year. I have not collected a residuals check since 1995. But, you can simply check with SAG with you SSN# and they will tell you how much total in residuals payments you have that have not been issued. IN other words, I get something every year because my Dynasty, Knotts Landing and a couple other things still aire to this day. But the last time I did cash a residual check from Dynasty it was just a couple dollars and not worth all the paperwork they include in the envelope. My first residual check from them was around $800 or so. But, when I was doing commercials I was making a lot more (nationals only). When I moved to Hawaii in 1989 I was getting an average of around $3,000 a month just from the Old El Paso Salsa commercial. Some of my commericals were buyouts and I got NO residuals. I worked for scale most of the time. I was not the star or reoccurring role like Lou is in most of his appearances. When he is a featured player (especially appearing as Lou Ferrigno) he is NOT getting scale. Far from it. He is not getting anywhere near as much as a regular gets but he gets more than scale.
Unlike what JohnnyVegas says about only the star gets residuals he is so far off it is funny. Just shows he knows nothing about what he is talking about. It's like me trying to tell him about how a Big Mac is made back in the kitchen where he is the expert. I don't try to pretend I know his experience.

Ron why do you lie. JohnnyVegas says ONLY the stars gets residuals and he should know. Working at McDonalds makes him an expert on how residuals are paid and how actors are paid. He is an expert. Just ask him. ::) ::) ::)

I love guys like you who are proven wrong so now you make it sound like I make up stuff. Dude you have ousted get over it. By the way Lou gets royalty checks from the show The Hulk. He owns none of the merchandising or gets any piece of it. Back then he had no agent and didn't know any better. Sag started paying residuals in 1974. The Hulk series started in 1976 or 77 and went on till 82 or so. The royalty checks he gets is enough to pay for all his kids education each year. Sorry to burst your bubble but like I said maybe you should stick to flipping burgers cause you suck at this.

You're such a fucking bullshit artist it is amazing.
Sorry to shoot down your bullshit yet again, but this is almost too easy.
Yes, I am sure Lou did not have an agent when he signed for the hulk, I mean n one in Hollywood has an agent-man, where does your sorry ass dream this shit up at
The Hulk is not shown ANYWHERE, and hasn't since it was on TV 25 years ago fool. So no residuals there. Nice try Mr. Hollywood.
Lou gets NO royalty checks, but I guess if you go around talking out your ass enough you will actually start believing your own baloney.
Give it a rest son, you're in over your head here.
-
Keith - why don't you still pursue Hollywood ventures?
-
For Lou.
For others, zero to say hello and get an autograph. $10 to get an 8x10 colored picture with an autoraph, etc. It is fair.
WRONG.
Right here in Knoxville, AMATUERS were charging $20 a pop for an autograph at the Greater Knox Classic in 2006, Ron. People you know and have PM'd me about before, actually.

What's "bullshit" is JohnyVegas thinking and wishing that everyone is broke to make up for his own lack of wealth. He also thinks that he can find anyone's wealth with just the internet and their legal name ::)

Just to let you know Einstein. Call Lou Ferrigno Enterprises in Santa Monica. Bet you don't cause people like you can only talk behind a computer. Ask them what Lou gets for an appearance. Talk to Diane. It is $5,000 to $6,000 an appearance at a BB show or industry related. He gets up to and more than $10,000 an appearance at other types of events. He flies only first class. He is booked usually a couple times a month if not more. Again, moron you are proven wrong. WHat I would do if I were you would be just stop. But since you hide behind your computer with no one knowing who you are and how much shit you are full of I am sure you will come back with some idiotic retort.

They were charging for autographs in their hometown as AMATUERS. Even Ron says that is low-rent as it gets.
I still find it interetsing how many people tote water for them that don't know them. Not saying they are bad people but they were charging for autographs when Ron says that's not the industry norm....

Really? Peter gave me a free autographed 8X10 for my website when I met him at the Mr. Olympia. I will scan it and post it here and on my website.

Didn't do it for his HOMETOWN people.
Fact.
I'm just saying...

In addition to the Hulk Tv series, didnt Lou also star in 3 Hulk movies? He also did some hercules movies. $2o seems standard for most "Hollywood" autographs (not just the photos they sell)no matter how minor their role was. Trek convention have heaps of actors who appear once or twice who charge the same as regulars. I remember a Sci-Fi convention where Ray Park (Darth maul) was charging $20 per signature. If you had three items that you wanted him to sign you'd have to pay $60. He was criticised by the brtish press for that. He then ran damage control by stating that his agent was to blame and that he never charged kids.
Does Lou charge $20 at conventions only or will he attempt to charge you if you run into him on the street and ask him to sign something?

Lou made "Hercules" in 1983, and if you ever saw it you would die from laughter-I know because I wasted good money to see it at the movies, and it was so BAD we were busting out of our seats laughing at how pathetic it was.
Seriously, it was worse than Arnolds first movie "Hercules in New York", and that is bad.
Please rent Lou's Hercules movie, sit back and get ready to wipe tears from your eyes, it is a laugh fest!

You can probably watch it on youtube nowadays..not that i'd bother. I remember Lou playing a retarded war vet in movie called Cage (or something similar). Apparently it was popular enough to go for a sequel.
So does Lou charge for an autograph outside conventions?

Yep, he has to, he has no regular source of income. He has no regular job, he has no skills or trade. So charging 8 year olds $20 for an autograph is the only way he pays the bills.
He was private training people in West LA a year or two back, but I don't even think that worked out for him.
Lou has some very serious issues. He is generally not well liked in the BBing community, and he has brought that on himself.

I'd like to know why this was done here in Knoxville (at least one year, maybe more) when Ron says it's NOT COMMON PRACTICE at ALL by bodybuilders, especially amatuers. I think the fans deserve a response. People gotta make a living but that just seems to be not right at all to do that to your hometown folk when Ron says hardly anyone in the industry does that...

Send Onlyme a PM, he seems to know everything there is to know about autographs, being a "star", the BBing world-even though he has never been a BBer, and well, just everything.

Is that how much you charge? Now who is bullshitting? Guaranteed you would do either one for just a quarter. Hey you haven't called SAG to tell them they are only supposed to pay the stars residuals did you. Man you'll screw it up for a lot of people. You are the only who knows this secret so keep your piehole shut. Oh and did you call Ferrigno's office to prove I was right about that too. Come on man you are my best proof. Grow some balls.

I walk the walk, you just talk the talk, which is unadulterated bullshit.

I'm wondering what percentage of "autograph money" income is reported to the IRS.......?
Additionally, I'd still wonder how you'd do that to people where you are from and not to that (charge for an autograph) to people when you travel. That's taking advantage of the ignorance of the local population when it comes to just how unimportant bodybuilding really is in the grand scheme of things.
Any way to make a buck, though..

Some big ballplayers have felony convictions for nto reportign thsi type of income, so the answer is some do some don't.
Since Lou only gets about 150 autographs per show ($3K), with 2 shows per year, he is making $6K in autograph money. I bet he does not report it. He is cheap, and stupid.
So he is making peanuts from whoring out his autographs and I bet that is the majority of his yearly income.

Pete Rose went to prison for this (more or less)..

Again your ignorance explodes off the pages of Getbig. Who said he only does 2 shows a year? You? Call his office moron. Check online on how many comic expos he does, and other appearances. DO I sense a hint of jealousy between Lou and you. Are you one of those punk 14 year old kids who didn't have the $20 to get an autograph from big Lou. Sorry son for your hurt but don't take it out on a guy who is more successful than you will ever be. Look at it this way, if you keep flipping the burgers like you do now, in 24 months you will be able to work the front counter.

cant you guys just chat like adults, why the insults?

I have never seen a pro bodybuilder charge for their autograph only, they do charge for a 8 x 10 photo with their autograph, they have to make money somehow.

Look at it this way, if you keep flipping the burgers like you do now, in 24 months you will be able to work the front counter.
Jabba The Hut's favorite line "Dont hate us because we have been successful"......errr....OK, living in a car at aeg 50 is not my idea of success Jabba, and I am sure selling autographs for $20 a pop when you're 55 years old is "successful" in your 5th grade mind....Man, it never ends with a mental moron like Jabba.
Hey, are you living in a van? I know you don't own a home, property or anything else of value at 50+ years of age-guess your "success" has gone to your head. ..Bawwwhahahaha......... ..... ;D

Lou charges Onlyme $50 for an autograph because he is a "special needs" child, but on the upside Lou give this moron a free blow job.
;D

Hey Jabba, I have a legitimate question for you.
Being that you are such a "success" and such a "big movie star" (errr...2 walk on bit parts);
WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO PAY BEEFY HIS $100 FOR THE PDI BET???
You are a broke pennyless loser, who does not pay up on even a puny $100 bet.
OK, your shot buddy, lets hear your bullshit to this one... ::)

I actually saw Ferrigno at Gold's pose for a picture with a fan for free! He didn't ask for any $ at all

Now, back to Keith-who has disappeared, why are you a deadbeat? I mean if you are such a big star, why can't you pay a $100 bet fat man?

I'll take that bet.

No problem, did I lose the bet yet and what was it. To tell you the truth I forgot all about it. But, if it was anything about the PDI not happening anymore you I think I should wait. The powers to be has told me that if medically he can do something this year then he will. If there is no NOC this year then I would say it was done. but there are still the European shows taking place. And if I owe you from a bet I don't have a problem Paypal you anytime. but, tell me what the bet was for first.
DEADBEAT!!!!!!
Thanks Keith, it was PDI having 6 more shows by years end. To date ( since the bet ) they had two shows on top of the number thay had had when we bet . . . so you do have until Jan 1st if you want.
You are a stand up guy.
The Beef
Even the extra time did not help this deadbeat pay up.
Hope this helps Jabba. ::)

Are you that dude who stalks Peter Putnam and his beautiful wife? :-\
;D

Really? Peter gave me a free autographed 8X10 for my website when I met him at the Mr. Olympia. I will scan it and post it here and on my website.
Matt, that one was free. Next time it will cost you your life! :o

Because they feel it is their civic duty to take money from morons who are willing to PAY money for an autograph.

At the GreaterKnoxClassic in 2006, Flex Lewis, myself, and Jessica all GAVE and signed our photos for FREE!!! At the '07 GKC we did sell them as we had professional images that we had paid for ourselves. We sell each individual image for $10.00 typically and sometime for $5.00. We always sign for free anything a person has that they wish for us to sign! The majority of time our sponsors provide us with signing cards that we have available for someone if they do not have the money for image.
Alldrugs= Allwrong

How about 2005, Top Level NPC Competitor? Slipped your mind?
I wouldn't mention it either if I were you.
Just be truthful and real, man. That's the only problem I've ever had with you. Be real about things.

A missed money-making opportunity at the expense of the naive population of Knoxville? I think not...
Charging a PENNY ANY YEAR to your "hometown" fan-base is LOW-RENT. Period. I know Knoxville isn't really your hometown but if you are going to claim it as such then charging the people that live her for photos is low-rent. You should thank God ANYONE around here actually follows bodybuilding. Heaven forbid you might actually SPEND $20-40 to get some photos made to GIVE AWAY...my God, the carnage...

You're something special Dan the Vitamin Man! You haven't a clue about things and with every attempt to attack us you only prove how miserable you are! :-\
People buy photos because they WANT to! If someone can't afford one I will give them one. If someone is a local supporter and or fan I will often give them one; however, there are many people around East TN that refuse to accept one without paying for it. They want to pay for it! Even with the free signing cards our supplement companies provide for us people more over will opt to buy a professional image. I see no problem with offering a nice professional image that cost myself and other bodybuilders money. My main desire is to be able to help encourage and motivate other people to pursue their goals! And if giving them a pic makes them smile I will. I remember what it is like to be on the other side of the table. I would rather make someone smile then make a buck. I'm blessed to be doing something I'm passionate about period!
Why don't you come to the FREE seminar? I will gladly sign you a FREE pic. ;D
-
Knowing I am going to get shit for this I will do it anyway. cause that's how i roll (no pun intended) When I was not even competing anymore I still did quite a few appearances (hence why I got to travel so much). I sold my picture for $10 everywhere i went and did very well selling them believe it or not. There were many times I didn't sell them, especially if I was doing a charity event. This is how I made extra money and to the person who flew me in or place I was appearing at it would help me generate more money. As an actor I had to give a pic at every interview I went on. So I just used those most of the time. I also gave them away to kids. I would hundreds of them at an appearance sometimes. It was fun and I enjoyed it. If anyone wants one I will sign it for free now..........in fact I pay you. ;D

You got my response and got destroyed in PM, PP.
Can you arrange any "before" and "after" pics for your fans? You know, some pics BEFORE you decided that God sold you short on genetics and that you needed to use gear out the wazzou while down-playing it's importance in your life or AFTER you decided that you were robbed genetically and had to become a walking experiment rather than a guy that just LOVES LIFTING WEIGHTS?
From years ago, back when you and I graduated from high school, you would be called a SELL OUT, Peter. You've sold EVERYTHING you have in your pursuit of "I.F.B.B." glory. Your self-respect and your respect for GOD (you spite God every time you inject, implying that he robbed you genetically from your goals as a person). For a man that proclaims such a Love for God, I'd think you'd have much more respect for what HE gave you as a MAN.
The truth is PAINFUL sometimes, Peter. Very.
-
AllDrugs your favorite person is back!!!!! H-BOMB I know you have been dreaming about me while you are doing your hour cardio sessions and the long lonely nights at your home. So i see your at it again with the Peter Bashing AWESOME man why to be a GROWN MAN!
ALLDRUGS if I could just say one thing to you and that will be my peace. And I know you will rebuttal and try and tear me down again and thats fine it that makes you feel better about yourself a person then by all means do it cause its only going to make me better!
This whole deal with Peter YOUR JEALOUSY OUT SHINES YOUR WORDS!
One last thing, when God gives someone a perfectly working liver are they spitting God when they abuse alcohol on a daily basis.
Also just wanted to let you know something about Peter that you might not know, but you seem to know all about him already but let me tell ya, he nationally qualified as a natty, something that you could never do as a natural.
-
Heath, I don't do cardio at home. I have yet to dedicate the bottom-story of my place to cardio equipment.
Heath, my brother put a link to your pictures on here about 3 months ago that you have no recovered from. Personally, I don't give 2 shits about what you look like, how genetically robbed you are, etc. It's inconsequential.
Heath, as I asked you on bodybuilding.com about 3 months ago:
Are you a Christian and do you Love God? You spend more time defending Peter Putnam than you do you GOD.....
Think about that, Heath. Yes, you are sick. You've got more issues than Sports Illustrated. I've told you before that you are young and that you might wake up eventually, but, it's apparent that you won't.
Heath, relay to Peter and Jessica that I bought lots 14, 15 and 16 on "The Reserve on The Tennessee River" this week. I've never made a great deal of money BUT I could have helped both of them when it comes to obtaining property at a good price.
Continue your ingnorance, Heath. My brother shamed you long ago. You disappeared after he exposed you. Your genetics are terrible. No legs. Your bodyfat % at your last show was over 6%. I wouldn't even get on ANY STAGE that fat, Heath.
Be your own man.
-
If its a choice between selling pictures or dealing drugs, I suspect the selling pictures thing might not be such a bad idea.
-
AllDrugs please look back to my last post I modified.
I hope in the near future to visit K-ville and I would love to challenge you to a workout and we can video tape me smoking you!
-
Heath, me and you doing a leg-workout would be the stuff of LEGEND. I would be more than HAPPY for you to post that on here. You come to my gym. You name the day.
When it comes to squatting, if you can't pull this BEFORE the rest of your leg-workout, don't bother, Heath.....
135 x 25 - one minute
235 x 25 - one minute
335 x 15 - one minute
405 x 10 - one minute
455 x 7 - one minute
485 x 4 - 2 minutes
Rest one-minute after the set of 485 and then drop it to 365. 10 reps at 365 is good...then pull off the 25's and do 10 reps 1 minute after that. THEN, do 10 reps of 225 once every MINUTE on your clock for the next 20 MINUTES. When you rack the weight, look at the clock and hit it again for 10 reps before the next minute passes on the clock.
Heath, before you fail whole-heartedly on this task, ACCEPT REALITY. You have limited genetics as do we ALL. Looking at Peter as some kind of guidance figure is like looking at google as a stock and expecting it to move to $2,000 a share over the next year. Not gonna happen. I know you have some kind of strange "love" for Peter, but he's just another guy that downplays the importance of AAS in his life.
-
Strange Love for Peter are your trying to come up with a title for a Reality show? Too bad already taken lets try and think outside the box.
In regards to your workout only if you let me borrow your trance music!!!
I am going to be the bigger man here and not STROKE my ego by throwing impressive numbers out there I will say I hope you got your stroked!
AllDrugs are you prone to man crushes if not then get off Peter, NOT GET OFF ON HIM!
Thats my peace I am done now and I will disappear now because you and your brother have crushed my world I will never recover from the fatal blow that you threw me my life is ruined. HAHAHAHA
I bid you a farewell AllDrugs I dont hate you just so you know we are all brothers in Christ!!!

Heath, in all seriousness, your genetics are very, very average. Don't waste your life on bodybuilding. Don't become a slave to drugs and make Gods out of guys that just take a ton of gear. Your pictures on your myspace page for all to see are very unimpressive for a guy who wants to make a living bodybuilding.
Live with the fact that you are average in many, many ways, Heath. And, if you are the Christian you claim to be, try worshiping God moreso than you do Peter. It would be a great thing for you. You aren't too young to get OUT of the game, Heath. There is no future in it.

Forgot to respond to this one:
Why would someone who's not a bodybuilder think about trying to "qualify" for national level shows? I'm missing your logic here...
BTW, if I wanted to spend 9 months out of the year not able to see below my belly button without the assistance of a mirror, I could compete "clean" at about 210 and around 4% bodyfat at 6'. Probably not gonna qualify for any national show but a level of developement you will never, ever reach without drugs and lot's of them.
