If so, Ronnie is scumbag...
Why would an IFBB professional the likes of Ronnie Coleman charge a fan $10 to snap a picture with their own camera?
I could understand if Ronnie was bringing in his own pictures signed and ready to sell for a small price, something along the lines of $3 in order to cover the cost of printing those pictures on glossy 10x10 photo paper & maybe to cover the cost of the marker used to sign, but to charge a fan $10 to use their own digital cameras to snap a picture of an old, fat pro is unheard of.
I know what some of you will say, "It was his wife that was demanding people to pay $10 for every picture taken, not Ronnie himself". Well, that's even worse because it stands as testament to the fact that Ronnie doesn't have the balls to tell his fans to their face that they must pay $10 for a picture, instead he sends out a skirt to do his dirty bidding.
JerryMe, you should have said "FUCK YOU" to Ronnie Coleman's wife and then walked off in anger, while viciously snapping pictures of them both in disgrace.
$10...........please...

some good points and counterpoints in your thesis
-
You stupid cumbag?
He needs to make a living.
-
He's at BSN's booth, right?
I wonder how they split the $.
-

He does make a good living, he still has endorsement contracts you fucking fool. Why would he charge people $10 to take a fucking picture with their own camera?!?!
Like I said earlier on, if he had gone through the trouble of buying his own photo paper and printing out various pictures of himself to then have signed each and every one of them, I would have been able to swallow a small fee of about $3 to cover printing & paper costs, not to mention time, but to charge $10 just stand his fat ass up and snap a picture next to a fan!?!?
No fucking way, Ronnie is a fucking scumbag worse than Lou Ferrigno!

Agreed....... Or at least looked at Ronnie and then back at her, took a pic of Ronnie and then said "uh, thats OK."

Sounds to me OneMoreRep is a communist.

have you not heard of ferrigno's picture policy?
on a side note, it sounds like his wife needs a lesson in public relations. rudeness and creating and awkward situation for you is the type of shit that spreads fast these days thanks to places like getbig. if he is really hurting for money that sucks, but if his fans are subjected to this sort of shit I could see that as compromising one of the probably few streams of income he still has. people tend to focus on the negative experiences and stories much more than the positive ones.

If people are stupid enough to pay it serves them right.

This is what happens when you blow all your money on cars and rims :-\
-
Shit I started a thread too for this. I will erase
-
also looking at it in the same light but from the bottom end of the hierarchy if those needs ( charging $10 ) which have been exaggerated through clever manipulation of the group mind could be could be transcended or at leat minimised, then the higher levels of potential inherent in human nature can be actualised. which is what i recognise happening in his life as i realise his true nature
-
even if i would be broke it would NEVER cross my mind to ask people money for that.
-
wait, so people didn't find out about the $10 fee until AFTER they had waited in line 30 minutes to meet Ronnie?
Damn...
-
in the beginning there is an unconditioned reaction UR (e.g. greed) to an unconditioned stimulus US (e.g.$10)
then there is a coupling of an neutral stimulus (CS), which is presented together with the US after some trials, the former neutral stimulus alone is able to cause the UR
-
Ronnie is doing it because his Bitch is forcing him too.

Ronnie should dump that biyatch.
yip yip.

You calling jerryme7 stupid?
Nope,he didn't pay.but if your commenting on this thread without reading what he said... ;) :D
-
Who did he charge? Was it Jerry? And did it happen to other people as well? Or is this hearsay? Or was his woman tired of everybody bugging her man about some pictures, when they came to enjoy themselves, if so, it comes with the territory of being Mr.O former or current.
Hopefully, his wife is not using him for his notoriety as a former Mr. O and drive a wedge between him and his fans.

Nevermind, I read Jerry's comment on the Ronnie pic thing. I guess because Ronnie had autograph pics, her reasoning was your going to have to pay, but i disagree, it's his camera, so he shouldn't have to pay.

lol....I would understand selling your own pics which cost money to produce, But charging a Fan for your picture with their own Camera is the lowest of the Low. Ronnie, we don't need you to show up at Expos anymore, you're washed out. stop degrading yourself. I will no longer make fun of Lou ferrigno. You are now the New Mr Ass.

wow
that is SO lame.

I'd pay 10$ just to shake your hand big Marcel

This board is full of gossiping school girls. JerryMe7 said nothing negative about Big Ron. For those who have met Ron it's out of character...but dont known much about the Mulatta. A woman wont sit on side and say nothing when she sees a chance for her man to get her dollars, and odds are Ronnie will go along with her to keep his ear dreams silent for another day. Anyway...baseball players are greedier and have way more money.
Ronnie income isn’t the same wo/the O cheques and I’m sure sponsor dollars arent $500K now. Let his woman make an extra dollar. Anyway...I would have paid. Dont see a problem as it looks you dont either.

Hey is she Mulatta or I thought she was Lebanese? It's a slippy slope when your woman is asking for money from someone just taking a pic. And as you said, It's out of character for Big Ron. He'd stand all outside posing for pic with the fans it seems.
-
You stupid cumbag?
He needs to make a living.
Ronnie won 8 Sandows and made, what, $100,000 plus for each, plus won the Arnold one year or another $100,000 and had endorsement deals during his Olympia reign and after. Guy spent 8 years at the top of the pro ranks and two years after losing the Olympia doesn't enough money to be able to let people take a picture with him? Pretty sad.
Guess Ronnie isn't getting enough guest posing and speaking ( ::)) engagements.

It was his wife that demanded the money, not Ronnie. If Ronnie was in bad financial straits, chances are he would have been charging from the get-go. It would be common sense, right?
-
I find it odd someone would pay to have a picture taken with anybody.

Good Joke. Ronnie didnt make $1M yearly. Look at his videos in the first 2-3 Os where he talks about that money dont pay many bills. It's towards the end when he gets the 2-3 yr with BSN for $500K where the dollars roll.
That means he is probably sound finanacially...given low cost of living in Arlington on the money he was making top end but still needs some income flow with a $100+ sponsor deals. Life isnt cheap.
He probably pulls $2000-$3000 signing which is all CASH! Do you think any woman on the face of this earth will let that money go by her fingers. Ronnie has to live w/her but it dont seem that bad...just for the Yahoos crying over $10.

bwahahaha
who'd pay ten cents 'cept the people who post on bodybuilding dot com and the like

maybe if you gave him 50 dollar you could see what the overuse of steroids can do to a human penis.

Everee bodee wanna a pikchure, butt dont nobodee wanna pay no ten dollaz!

Maybe he's saving up for a new Bentley ?

Ronnie (upon unveiling his penis): "Ain't nothin' but a peanut."
-
If you don't want a picture don't fucking pay the money.
It's a free market. He can do what he wants.
Ronnie says in his 2000 video he was making $500,000 a year from bodybuilding (at that point). So i don't think he's broke.
But he didn't have 3 new kids back then ;D
-
This is what happens when you blow all your money on cars and rims :-\
Who says he has blown his money?

If his woman is Lebanese i feel really bad for him.
I'm half Leb from my mothers side i wouldn't go near one.

I agree, he offered to have his pic taken with fans for a fee and if they want to pay it , fine.
I wouldn't but I was never a huge Coleman fan. Ronnie was a great Mr Olympia and ok guy, but never seemed to be much of a people person.
I tend to buy a signed pic off a pro I admire and then ask for a pic.
I did this last spring with Dexter and Toney Freeman. I prefer doing it that way.
They are a top pro and deserve an appearence fee. I think it less awkward and more courteous on both parts to simply purchase a nice autographed pic and then take your pic with the pro.
I know a few folks ( NOT bodybuilders) I would pay some $$$ to have my pic with them however.
On the top of this short list is ....big Ron Aviden ;D :D ;)
I think I can bribe him with some orange chicken however.
-
Real fans should show support by buying one 8 x 10 anyway. Lineups and wait time can get long, and it gets annoying when part of the reason one has to wait in line for so long is because of so many cheap people who just want to take a picture and move on or who bring a magazine that they want autographed instead of simply buying an autographed 8 x 10. I'm all for getting the cheap people out of the way to reduce the wait time real fans have to endure.

Howard,
Are you fucking kidding me? It's an Olympia EXPO, the entire purpose of these things is for the supplement companies to go out there and promote their products, while their athletes, who are on contract, use their presence to endorse these products. The athletes essentially serve as the bait at the end of the hook for us to bite onto whatever the supplement companies are selling.
Just because they are pros doesn't automatically make them worthy of an appearance fee. Moreover, the pros should be happy that they have fans in the first place who are willing and interested to take pictures with them.
At the end, if not for the fans that go out and buy these magazines, supplements and workout videos, what would these pros be besides overly muscular people with the uncanny ability to form speech fragments?
It's not like Ronnie is poor, I can understand Kai Green selling pictures for $10, hell that guy would probably suck my dick for $10, but Ronnie Coleman???

Real fans should show support by buying one pair of soiled undies. Lineups and wait time can get long, and it gets annoying when part of the reason one has to wait in line for so long is because of so many cheap people who just want to take a picture and move on or who bring a magazine that they want autographed instead of simply buying used clothes. I'm all for getting the cheap people out of the way to reduce the wait time real fans have to endure.

Dina is Kuwait and Moroccan. Had a friend that looked like her who was half Kuwait, was hoping I could get her to cheat on her husband :-\ . Hot Woman! Yes...Ronnie's girl is Leb but looks more Olive Bonita or Morena Clara. That’s why I call her a Mulatta. Alti would be Taina (Dominican). Ronnie would have a comp thing going on if he was still messing with both of them. Lots of Bunda...Baby! Yip Yip

soiled undies or used posing trunks - you are still a pathetic homosexual fan of nassers.
