Title: Do some amateur bodybuilders make mre money than pros?
Post by: Awesomo on February 09, 2009, 11:11:00 AM
Whenever I am flipping through M&F every other ad has Trey Brewer or Brandon Currry (I know curry is a pro now, but it has been like this for a while), do these guys make more money than lower tier pros who i hardly ever see in ads?

Internationally yes. Many international folks make more/or get more on benefits then a pro will ever see.

All comes down to marketing yourself - unless you win the O or something and it falls in your lap then of course.

Stan McQuay made much more as an amateur from endorsements than most pros.    It helps to be photogenic.

Yeah, there are plenty of amateurs who go on to better things.  Turning pro can actually limit exposure.  In the case of Putnam, I hope this turns out to be the case.
