A friend of mine who sponsors shows asks Dexter to guest pose for him for a up coming bodybuilding show.Dexter says, he charges $8000. The guy says, thats to much, can you do it for $5000, and Dexter, says, no I have to pay my bills. So then my friend see's Toney Freeman and asks him how much he would charge to guest pose.
Before Toney could answer, Dexter buts in and says, Tony don't take less then $8000, because he has to pay his bills.When I heard this I was like WTF.?????. The promoter I'm talking about is a nice guy, who puts on a great show, and is respected by the bodybuilding community.
Who does Dexter think he is??????????? If you ask me Dexter is an arrogant asshole, who doesn't deserve anything.
Asking more then $5000 to guest pose is crazy, heck your only on stage for 10 minutes tops. If you do the math thats $500 a minutes, or $30,000 an hour. Dexter Jackson - I hope he places 10th at the Mr Olympia.
-
Who does Dexter think he is?
Uhhhhhh...
Mr. Olympia?
-
that aint alot after taxes :-X
-
Uhhhhhh...
Mr. Olympia?
but who gives a shit about that?
-
Ask 90% of the population who Dexter Jackson is? I bet unless they workout or they are a bodybuilder they dont know
-
but who gives a shit about that?
Mars, are you saying that even something like Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest is a more prestigious title than the Mr. O?
-
lol they don't even deserve 5k IMO
-

Guest-Posing usually harnesses CA$H only.
- Block!
-
LMAO...Dexter can be a prick.When I spoke to him last year he seemed really cool but I think it was because I am a brother. i just got that vibe.
-
Dexter is an ugly, angry midget. Invite an interesting promising young pro to guest pose, like Fouad or Evan, not some midget pin-cushion with all the charm and personality of a boiled potato.
-
lol they don't even deserve 5k IMO
at fucking Most 2.
-

I'd say it's less than that. Hell, ask at a gym, and most people wouldn't know.
-
Dex knows that he's the top Bber in the world.
He knows that he's gotta fly across the country to pose.
He knows that having the top Bber in the world, at a BBing show, means you'll sell more tickets.
if Lebron was willing to come down and dunk for 10 minutes at my local high school game at halftime, we would pack the place and sell way more than $8000 in tickets (provided adequate seating capacity).
-

he is recognized by less than .05 % of the American public

Don't compare that no one has ever heard of apart from a small niche, to a world-famous tall REAL ATHLETE who has REAL ATHLETIC SKILL. :P
-
I saw Robert and the Flamingo and Sandhill Gold's last week. Legit 24 inch arms man. I thought I had decent arms but it totally demotivated me to do arms. From what I can tell no synthol. His calves are at least 20-21 inches. Amazing speciman and nice guy.
-

So is China's place on the map, what's your point :P
-
Baddell in 2006,when he was finishing 3rd in the Olympia cost us 3500euro
Wolf last year cost us 3000euro
And they had to travel to Ireland which no doubt was hassle for them.
We are hoping to get Kai or Phil Heath for next aprils show, I wonder what the cost will be
-
240, Dexter doesn't sell tickets, people know he is an asshole. Jay sells tickets, Wolf sells tickets, Ronnie, used to sell tickets, lol. Trust me Dexter isn't worth $8000, he isn't even worth $1000 imo, he is arrogant, and too cocky.
If your going to hire a bodybuilder to guest pose they should be out going, and be liked by the fans.
I haven't heard one person say, Dexter isn't arrogant or he isn't full of himself.

240 please.... ::) LeBron and Dexter? I get your point, but c'mon. One is a legitimate sport that generates billions a year and pays its athletes millions, takes place in state of the art venues, and it's stars are known worldwide. The other, well, you know. Shit, I'm amazed these fuckers even get 5k for strutting around "off season" for 3 minutes.
Comparing the NBA to the IFBB/NPC, is like comparing your local bingo game to a state lottery.

who, in proper attire, would attend his after olympia party?
-
Wiggs, you met and saw Robert at the Mr USA, when we met....Do you remember? I was talking to you, and Robert right before the finals.
Roberts arms have not one ounce of synthol, and his calves are probably 21-22".
Wiggs are you going to the Mr Olympia Expo? Is Blockhead going?
Robert will be at our booth.The only thing that sucks about having Robert at our booth is he makes me look small, at 250lbs.

Yep, I remember. I've never seen him offseason. Huge guy, it makes his head look really small. Yes sir. I'll be there all day Friday and Saturday and be in attendance for the press conference. I don't think Block is going. Robert has a great future ahead of him.
-
Wigss stop by our booth.We have 2 booths, we will be next to Ed Hardy.
Yes Robert does have a bright future ahead of him, he is only 30 years old. He looks so big in person he looks like a fu%$# cartoon.Robert and I usually meet for lunch every couple of weeks to talk about biz, and his training.When he walks into any place people just stare, like they just seen an alien, its quite funny. People aren't used to seeing someone that big, and he isn't fat lol.

First, I gotta say, if a fan has 2 options: Reigning Mr O, or no guest poster, do you really think they'll prefer no poser?
Secondly, I don't know Dex. He seems like a guy who just doesn't have a lot of patience - not a real 'people' person. I can relate to that. Some guys love sitting at booths shaking hands with strangers for hours. Many don't.

haha yeha i know that.
But I think no guest poser means you can't get 400 family members in an auditorium. having Mr O means you can get maybe 1200 or 1500 ppl to show up (as long as an NPC show is included).
$8k does seem high, but if Dex can demand it, all the power to him. I know I wouldn't fly across the country and get in a thong for strangers in Alaska for anything less than $2 or 3k, and I'm just a skinnyfat getbig poster. Top Bber in the world, for all that trouble, would want more.

Wait... There is going to be an Ed Hardy booth? Oh, for fucks sakes!
I won't be in the house, yo. Thanks for asking. I'll be at the ASC as far as what big shows I'll be attending. I remember seeing Robert. He's a true sick freak.

i'm sure these guys dont charge $8k plus this is entertainment than a bunch mandatory shots.
-

Yeah, you may be right about the percentage of the general population that he is recognized by. That by itself doesn't mean a damn thing. When you talk bodybuilding, anywhere in the world, Mr. Olympia stands at the forefront. Contest promotors are not looking to pull in those people with no interest in Bodybuilding. They have a target audience and out of that target audience how many do you think know who Dexter is????????? $8,000.00 should be easily recouped by any promotor with a show big enough to warrent Mr. Olympia as a guest poser. If not, then they need to call one of you guys and pay you to guest pose. I'm betting they could get off a lot cheaper.

Well when a prime Dennis wolf cost my club 3000euro how can Dexter demand $8000
-
If he is Mr. Olympia and doesn't need to do guest posings for a living, why not ask for $8k?
-
If he is Mr. Olympia and doesn't need to do guest posings for a living, why not ask for $8k?
Cos he wont get it
-
maybe he has to buy new chrome wheel spinners for his car?
-
Cos he wont get it
I think he guest poses and I'm pretty sure he's getting paid. What makes you think he's not getting 8k?
Pat
-
If you cant be nice to the fans don't be a bodybuilder. When I am at an expo, and someone wants to talk to me or take a picture, I'm polite to them. If it wasn't for the fans there wouldn't be an audience, without a audience you have any empty room.
I want to thank all bodybuilding fans, and people who support our industry. Your the reason bodybuilders, can train, and get paid to do what they love doing. You know how many times people have talked to me and was shocked that I wasn't arrogant, and I was soft spoken and polite. Just because your a bodybuilder doesn't give you the right to be an asshole. People want to except bodybuilders, but with people like Craig Titus, how can they? Bodybuilding should be looked as a positive sport, not a bunch of drugged up losers.
Bodybuilding is about building your body, and mind, so you evolve as a person.

Cos there are much better,more entertaining to the fans,more marketable,taller bodybuilders out there
Im just being honest Pat,Dexter would never enter my mind when I would be looking for a guest poser
For me Victor,Kai or Phil will be on the wishlist for here next year,then Evan maybe the following year
We had Wolf last year and Branch Warren was in another Part of Ireland this year
-
Ask 90% 99.9999999999999% of the population who Dexter Jackson is? I bet unless they workout or they are a bodybuilder they dont know
Fixed.

Rims and DVD'S aren't coming cheap, homie.
-

It's rather unfortunate that - as a bodybuilding fan - I cannot tell the difference between him and 'that guy who looks like Dexter Jackson'. The resemblance is creepy. If I were Dexter, I'd have the other guy moved to Russia.

when i see the name dexter jackson i think of a jesse jackson relative or a michael jackson relative or the former mayor of Atlanta's son

Great post.
What the top guys now have to realize is that there are more eyes on them than ever before and their actions can impact the future success of the bodybuilding culture.
I know that bodybuilding is a very self-centered activity, but in the interest of self, a bodybuilder has to think about the wider implications of his/her actions. Sucking it up and spending time with the fans when you'd rather be sleeping or doing something else is the way you make sure the impact you have is positive. You may not see the day when pro bodybuilders are making millions a year, but maybe your children or grandchildren will. Wouldn't it be nice to have played some small role in that?

Hell no. No-one deserves millions from just working out...

not all people are "people persons". Maybe dex is very shy. Maybe he is just a private person. Maybe he gets tired of "how much ya bench", "can I feel your arms", and "bro, between us, what is your steroid stack like!?"
Yes, if a supp company is paying him to shake hands and take pics, that's his job. But outside of that, his job is to show up with the best physique in the world and hit poses when told.

A story:
Back in 1993, a former gym owner of mine was putting on the local BBing contest in San Francisco. He was looking to hire a guest poser. He looked at a few different guys to pose, and two of the guys he looked at were Flex Wheeler and Dorian Yates.
Flex finished 2nd in the Olympia that year, and obviously Yates placed first. Keep in mind this is the year that Yates had his extreme transformation.
Flex wanted 10k to guest pose, and Yates wanted 7k. Back in 1993. I don't care if he's Flex Wheeler or not....for a second place finisher to ask for 3k more than Mr. Olympia himself seems like a cad move.

Youngblood, which bodybuilder did your friend choose?
One point here is that Flex might have a huge soCal following.
if Flex won the show, and yates placed second... I could see a UK show promoter getting more value from local O-runner-up yates, rather than some dude from the other side of the world who beat him by 2 points in the final.
-
yates would draw more customers with money

Dexter isn't arrogant or full of himself.

Dexter is the #1 bodybuilder in the world right now, even if predictions indicate he may lose his title at the Olympia. So he can ask for whatever he wants.
In 1993, they were asking between $7K to $10K. Dexter asking $8K 16 years later for guest posing his what he wants. The best part about the American system is that if you dont like the price, then dont take him. You can get someone else.
If Dexter doesnt get any guest appearance, he will lower his price. Simple as that.
Dexter is not arrogant, he is just quieter than others. He isnt a bodybuilder that I consider arrogant, and I know there have been a few like that.

FCUK OFF!

Joking aside now ROn,and Im fully aware im not two steps from you banning me from this site forever,but...did Dexter beat his wife? Another pro told me he did

Dexter thinks he's Mr Olympia and he's right.
Ronnie used to demand 10k per guest posing and honestly I don't think Dexter was being arrogant. He says he has bills to pay. In fact I think it was rude of the promoter to ask Tony right next to him how much he charges. Unless Tony objected to what Dexter did, its a moot point as they both work for the same company.
Regardless, the promoter should respect the guest posing prices and if he doesn't like it then there are thousands more people to choose from
-

You don't cut a person off before he's had a chance to answer the question asked of him.
The service being solicited here had nothing to do with their employment, so STFU and stick to talking about the stuff you know, which is nothing...other than how to look like shit on stage.

hi gail.
anyway...shawn ray posted once that it was about 3-5k for guest posing. depending on bber he gets airfare, board, food, etc plus sell his photos, vids, ts, etc. for cash money.
mr o or not 8k is alot of money for a bber. what do athletes get at those card shows upfront? i'm talking more the middle of pack guys. what kind of money and attendance do these shows have that bring in the big names?

Our local show in Ireland normally breaks even or loses a small amount of money but its a gym run show and cos our gym is a non-profit making organistion it means if we dont spend the money on something then mr.taxman will take it for himself
-
Youngblood, which bodybuilder did your friend choose?
He picked Dorian, and it ended up forging a friendship that lasts to this day. At one point, when I first walked into the gym, there were signatures of Dorian painted on the walls. Apparently the owner & Dorian got a little too much wine in them one night and went to town spray painting numerous walls, posters and even equipment. At one point, there was a 3' high signature of Dorian behind the deadlift platform...that motivated the hell out of me to train for some reason.
I also loved listening to Gary (owner of the gym) tell the story of Dorian backstage at the same contest, and the crowds reaction when Dorian first walked out.

Oh yea? Well, tell him that Blockhead from Getbig said to go fcuk himself and while you do that you can go ahead and fcuk yourself. Mark!

Cut Dex some slack....stroking old weiners doesn't pay what it used to....gotta make up the difference somehow.

I don't know if he's worth that much but look at it this way.
Bodybuilders have been getting paid 3-5gs for guest posing since the mid 90's. If you calculate the inflation rate for 5gs it ends up being just under 7gs for the previous 5g mark.
Problem is you can argue that the popularity of bodybuilding has dropped significantly since that time, I don't know. I do know that more people attend the Olympia and Arnold than ever before, I can't speak about local shows. In addition, he is a Mr. O so 8gs isn't outside the norm. I don't like how he handled the situation with Tony. That was classless.

In 1993, they were asking between $7K to $10K. Dexter asking $8K 16 years later for guest posing his what he wants. The best part about the American system is that if you dont like the price, then dont take him. You can get someone else.
If Dexter doesnt get any guest appearance, he will lower his price. Simple as that.
Dexter is not arrogant, he is just quieter than others. He isnt a bodybuilder that I consider arrogant, and I know there have been a few like that.
I agree Ron,
BUT, we're not debating he's an ass for asking too much.
we're less than thrilled at the fact he stepped in when Freeman was being asked the same question, and
said "Tony don't take less than 8000 neither"... if this is in fact true, that's classless.
you'd never see Jay ask for 8000, the guy says its too much, and goes to speak to someone else regarding the
same situation, and Jay butts in and says "uh, he doesn't take less than 8000$ neither, he's got bills to pay"
that's a good enough reason to get your ass kicked right there.
If i were that promoter guy, when Dexter stepped in for Tony, i would have said Excuse me? was i asking you??? fuck off!
now both Tony and Dex DON'T get any money, because Dexter was being a dick. great move!
I bet Tony would have accepted the 5000$ price, but along comes Dex, sours the deal, bye bye 5Grand for Toney Freeman!
(i bet he was happy deep inside!)
lol

say what you want About Jay, at least he put himself out there, and had respect and class for all.
he promoted the sport as best he could, and you saw his face everywhere.
he truly carried the flag for Bodybuilding after he won the "O" in 2006.
now i hear this about Dexter, who spent his last offseason watching DVD's at home, and driving his
custom BMW to the Japanese Grill everyday. good job!
Down with Dex!

I don't know if he's worth that much but look at it this way.
Bodybuilders have been getting paid 3-5gs for guest posing since the mid 90's. If you calculate the inflation rate for 5gs it ends up being just under 7gs for the previous 5g mark.
Problem is you can argue that the popularity of bodybuilding has dropped significantly since that time, I don't know. I do know that more people attend the Olympia and Arnold than ever before, I can't speak about local shows. In addition, he is a Mr. O so 8gs isn't outside the norm. I don't like how he handled the situation with Tony. That was classless.
come on...wiggs. u ask a guy to do a show nicely for 5k, and he fires back with i got to eat and pay bills instead of saying here's my card and we can go over my terms later. if that was me and tanji would have been there...i'd say girl i'll give u 8k because u are more entertaining.

dex gives a negative vibe

I have no opinion on how much dex is worth in guest posing. I just think what he did was classless.
I will say that because he's Mr. O he can demand more than just about anyone else.

jay cutler was a better mr. o (hi jay!) guestposing every weekend year round except for the time of the olympia prep.
hope he gets it back :D

LMAO...Dexter can be a prick.When I spoke to him last year he seemed really cool but I think it was because I am a brother. i just got that vibe.
Be it a brutha or a cracka, Dexter has let 'success' in the bodybuilding world get to his head so much so that he is a bonafide jerk. He could learn a lot from Jay Cutler about how to fans.

A friend of mine who sponsors shows asks Dexter to guest pose for him for a up coming bodybuilding show.Dexter says, he charges $8000. The guy says, thats to much, can you do it for $5000, and Dexter, says, no I have to pay my bills. So then my friend see's Toney Freeman and asks him how much he would charge to guest pose.
Before Toney could answer, Dexter buts in and says, Tony don't take less then $8000, because he has to pay his bills.When I heard this I was like WTF.?????. The promoter I'm talking about is a nice guy, who puts on a great show, and is respected by the bodybuilding community.
Who does Dexter think he is??????????? If you ask me Dexter is an arrogant asshole, who doesn't deserve anything.
Asking more then $5000 to guest pose is crazy, heck your only on stage for 10 minutes tops. If you do the math thats $500 a minutes, or $30,000 an hour. Dexter Jackson - I hope he places 10th at the Mr Olympia.
John...tell your friend to invest his money in his MC....THATS where to spend the smart money. And I'll do it for 5K...just cause he's a friend of yours...!

i actually have to agree with u...must be turning into a puppet of the system also. but you would offer more bang for the buck than a snore fest dex/jay type posing routine.
-
In my post in no way shape or form was bashing Tony Freeman, I just want to make this clear.Tony Freeman is a great athlete and a great guy.Now Dexter is a short arrogant prick, he has no personality, and feels entitled.The day he retires from bodybuilding he will soon be forgotten.He is just a short guy with good genetics, and a bad attitude.If I was Muscletech, I would drop him like a bad habit.
I seen the way Dexter, acts, and talks to fans, and its pathetic.
Dexter, your just a bodybuilder, you can be replaced,its that simple.

You make it sound as if he warps to the show. ;D
The pay basically covers a weekend of Dexter`s life.
Dexter is entitled to whatever people will give him for the appearance under free market principles, i.e., whatever the market will bear. I highly doubt that is $8,000. I could see him calling for $6,000 though.
How typical for him to have spent all of his money. ::) Before the 2008 Arnold Classic Dexter confessed in an issue of MD that he had literally no money left at all. How pathetic.

thats true. it does feel like that. if that sounds appealing to you, then you should try it sometime.
bob is straight and thinks gay sex is disgusting, so for him doing gay4pay is something that degrades him and takes away his self pride.
for a gay or bisexual man gay4pay would be uplifting and like a straight guy fucking a girl and then her paying him for it after.
therein lies the difference.

i think that guest posers get travel and hotel and food paid for, then on top of that they get $$. so 8 grand owuld be in addition to travel food and lodge. i could be mistaken though.

First of all, I'm not disgusted by it...I couldn't care either way what people do, or what their sexual orientation is.....BUT, for you to be making ridiculous statements about me is uncalled for, esspecially when you wouldnt know one thing about me.
As for G4P...I wouldn't know either way, as I've never been a part of it. I've always had this unique way of making money which seems to be a rarity aroud here....I had a JOB. A real job....there is no "G4P"....it's either something someone wants to do, or they wont do it....there are plenty of ways to make legitimate money...to shroud it under this "I had to do it, I needed the money" bullshit...is a joke.
-
$8,000 isn't THAT bad I guess. I remember Palumbo saying in an interview that a bb like Chris Cormier could get 5K back in the day. When you're Mr. Olympia you can do that so Dexter better enjoy it while he can for the rest of the year. ;D

So by your rational Chick... Tom Prince didnt "really need the money" when he was posing naked for schomes behind a white line? He did it because he enjoyed it? ???
-
That`s sad that my post gets deleted even though it`s fucking true.
How sad is it that Dexter likely cleared half a million in 2008 and has nothing to show for it. Just pathetic. ::)

TP has said in many interviews that when he posed for Colt mag, he needed the money, and didn't mind doing the shoot as it was just him in the pics. As for whatever else you're talking about...I have no idea

Dont play stupid Chick...we have been over this before. Tom Prince had admitted to both myself, and others in Venice that he used to pose naked for whoever could pony up the cash he was asking. His only stipulation was that the schome had to be behind a line, and that nethier he nor his *ahem* fluids could cross the line. You surely know about this Chick, (being his close friend and all). In fact if I ...being a nameless internet troll like you claim..know about this...then how much more must YOU know about? Being around him all the time?
Dont bullshit us with this "oh I had no idea Tom was doing these things..." ::) If you dont want to comment on it out of respect for Tom...then thats fine..but dont lie to us ethier.

But Bob, keep in mind that came straight from Dexter's mouth who said in an issue of MD just before the 2008 Arnold Classic that he was literally broke and waiting for his payday at the Arnold. ;D I don't doubt he has assets.
If you live comfortably enough, it's not impossible to spend that kind of money, but Dexter should try to understand that his relatively high income will not last forever. Of course, he's free to do as he wishes.

I wouldn't have the first clue as to what you and your "buddies" in Venice know, or do...perhaps these were normal practices where you are, but I was in Rochester NY until 2001...trust me, these things are about as remote as they could be where i come from...
I dont have to protect TP, he's perfectly capable himself...question is...why is his sex life, or whatever, of any interest to YOU? You have mentioned this numerous times now...are you interested in having Tom pose for you? Why else would some troll like yourself be so captivated by some other guys sexual exploits?

Stop trying to divert the question Chick. I don't give a rats ass about Tom Princes sex life. Its about you telling the truth for JUST ONCE. You made a statement that no one does G4P unless they are into it, and despite your b.s. you also knew damn well what Tom P was doing for extra $$$. After all a Nubain addiction isn't cheap, on top of the cost of living in L.A.
I was merely pointing out that by your own logic you condemned your "friend" Prince...as he must have actually needed an outlet for his bisexual tendencies. At least according to you. ...Of course when I trap you up in your own statements...you just play coy..and try to divert the question...typical Chick move.
Listen...its really rather simple...JUST SPEAK THE TRUTH. No more no less... if you don't want to comment then just be classy and say "no comment." Instead of trying to spin doctor some Pollyanna version of bodybuilding. Its disingenuous and makes you look like a buffoon.

Honestly, I don't even believe the account of the story NY made and there's always two sides to a story. The story doesn't make sense at all and I've met Dexter and he's a pretty humble person. I think there are some parts missing in this.
One thing is for sure, if I was a promoter I would give him a call rather than do an on the street hustle.
-
You don't cut a person off before he's had a chance to answer the question asked of him.
The service being solicited here had nothing to do with their employment, so STFU and stick to talking about the stuff you know, which is nothing...other than how to look like shit on stage.
Its a moot point because there's no mention of Tony objecting to Dexter cutting in and also because none of this information is confirmed to have even happened that way to begin with
There are thousands of bodybuilders available for guest posing so if he's looking to save some money then find someone else. If you want my opinion, Dexter has earned the right to charge that much because he is Mr Olympia. The folks in Dubai and other Arab countries pay even bigger bucks than that.

If you are going to insult me at least get your facts straight. First off..I rarely talk about anyones "sex life" on this board, and I do not criticise others for being "homo" or any other childish insults. Instead of having something intelligent to say...you merely fall back on insults and nonsense. The entire reason I am bringing any of this up in the first place is to demonstrate you hypocrisy...not because I care about anyones sex life.

Asking more then $5000 to guest pose is crazy, heck your only on stage for 10 minutes tops. If you do the math thats $500 a minutes, or $30,000 an hour. Dexter Jackson - I hope he places 10th at the Mr Olympia.
not sure what your beef is. Je IS Mr. O and a top pro... I am sure Ronnie and Dorian would charge more.

Getting back on topic....I can understand why Dexter charges so much for guest posings. His Muscletech contract pays him peanuts in comparison to what other Mr Olympia's have made and are still making.
You guys would shit if you knew how little Dex makes as Mr O.
I wouldn't be shocked. If not for Mtech, and the O title how else does he get paid. Its not like he's at an office like I am. But I hate when promoters complain about how much it is to get a pro to guest pose. Imagine asking a Shawn Ray or Labrada back in 90 or 91!!!!

If you live comfortably enough, it's not impossible to spend that kind of money, but Dexter should try to understand that his relatively high income will not last forever. Of course, he's free to do as he wishes.
That's exactly why Huge Nasser put aside much of his earnings in real estate investments and sold them for millions higher than he purchased, such that he is financially independent since he stopped competing, living in sunny San Diego, viewing the Pacific Ocean from his backyard, admired by many women, living in the minds of many getbiggers, admired by fans all around the world, driving three cars (at least), etc.

Admired by many women....LMAO ::)

Is that one car per Olympia he should have won?

HAHAHHAHAH great post Bigbobs, Im not a Nasser fan nor do i hate him but he does seem to live in getbiggers minds.

In my post in no way shape or form was bashing Tony Freeman, I just want to make this clear.Tony Freeman is a great athlete and a great guy.Now Dexter is a short arrogant prick, he has no personality, and feels entitled.The day he retires from bodybuilding he will soon be forgotten.He is just a short guy with good genetics, and a bad attitude.If I was Muscletech, I would drop him like a bad habit.
I seen the way Dexter, acts, and talks to fans, and its pathetic.Dexter, your just a bodybuilder, you can be replaced,its that simple.
100% truth.
Ive seen the way dexter treats fans at shows, its rediculous, its like he'd rather be anywhere else but at his booth talking to someone who probably before he talked to dexter looked up to him.
Also dexter has the personality of a flacid penis and isnt even that great of a poser.

Kind of hard not to when Babbu dedicates all of his 5,000+ posts to him.
If I did that shit, Kai would get a restraining order.

A friend of mine who sponsors shows asks Dexter to guest pose for him for a up coming bodybuilding show.Dexter says, he charges $8000. The guy says, thats to much, can you do it for $5000, and Dexter, says, no I have to pay my bills. So then my friend see's Toney Freeman and asks him how much he would charge to guest pose.
Before Toney could answer, Dexter buts in and says, Tony don't take less then $8000, because he has to pay his bills.When I heard this I was like WTF.?????. The promoter I'm talking about is a nice guy, who puts on a great show, and is respected by the bodybuilding community.
Who does Dexter think he is??????????? If you ask me Dexter is an arrogant asshole, who doesn't deserve anything.
Asking more then $5000 to guest pose is crazy, heck your only on stage for 10 minutes tops. If you do the math thats $500 a minutes, or $30,000 an hour. Dexter Jackson - I hope he places 10th at the Mr Olympia.
Dex is entitled to ask whatever he wants and the promoter is entitled to not pay , the guy is Mr Olympia now his quote has to go up but is he wrong for taking advantage of his title? ???

no he didnt you fucking f@ggot: he stoped competing because his body started to closely resemble a 3 day old lump of dogshit and he sells his dirty posing trunks to help make ends meet
please go kill yourself.........no one wants you faggotry here

yes, i beliee he runs some sort of garage
and as for "living in getbiggers minds"..................he would not even be mentioned here on getbig if the raghead cum-lust corps. didnt not litter the G&O with their nasser cocklust all day long...........he is compleatly irrlelevent and would be mentioned about as frequently as jean pierre faux or paul dilett.

Yes its a laundering business after a sweaty day of changing oil he will put the thongs in his trunks then sell them to all the team Nasser members for premium price ;)
-
jay, ronnie and wolf sells tickets.
baxter?? er.....not really...no wow factor. Even 5000 for just posing on the stage for like less than 10 mins is good money. And he will be selling photos and posters in his booth....will be able to get about 8000 for a day's work.
-
i am not sure of the source. But i heard dorian was invited to guest pose in singapore in the early 90s but he wanted a HIGH price and shawn ray took it instead.

OK, I'm convinced "MrNobdy" is NOT "ASJPathetic"......this was too clever of a post to be that moron :o
-
Getting back on topic....I can understand why Dexter charges so much for guest posings. His Muscletech contract pays him peanuts in comparison to what other Mr Olympia's have made and are still making.
You guys would shit if you knew how little Dex makes as Mr O.
LOl....guess if you're a multimillionaire....you would be right in comparison. You would shit if you knew what he makes, but for the opposite reason you list. He's made 6 figures just between guest posings and merchandise this year...not including his contracts with Weider/ ami and MT
-

does really that much people that attend the show to pay for such guest posing fees?
-
Candizzle laying the smack down on another bodybuilder.
Hey bro, when are you releasing the protein powder test results?
-
well my rate to guest pose is $800,000. my unlimited texting plan is steep.
-
$8K FOR 10 MINUTES, for the mr.olympia to guest pose sounds very reasonable indeed.
$5k sounds like a cheap ask.
Usain Bolt's asking price is $400k for less than 10 seconds.
I think Dex is very reasonable.
Your promoter needs to get a grip.
-
just by entering his website you know Dexter is a douche.
Dorian Yates is the only intelligent and down to earth mr. o to date.

you think 100k is a lot for the top guy in the 'sport'? or did you get your '6 figures' confused.
-

whats that got to do with Dex asking $8k as mr.o and some other guy taking $5k who isnt mr.o, and what other athletes are getting?
-
you think 100k is a lot for the top guy in the 'sport'? or did you get your '6 figures' confused.
like i said, at $400k a pop for 10 seconds runs, and multi million $ prizes for tennis and golf, and so on... six figures for the top guy is a pittance.
whats the average income in the US? $50-$60k...for joe average?
$90k for college graduates a year or two out?
i would suggest taking these pro BB's total income, subtracting the cost for them to prep and maintain their lifestyle to remain at the top, then compare to Joe Average.
seems to me that they might be better off just with a day job, or a college education...even moreso in the long run.
-
In comparison to other sports and different professions, I'm sure that Dexter doesn't make much for where he is in his given profession (#1 in the world- popular or not). Someone earlier said that a low ranking golfer can make $250k and nobody in the golfing world really knows him. Now put that against Dexter who is #1 in BBing and still nobody knows him.
I remember Ronnie being on Leno, Letterman, and Rosie O'Donnell among other lesser known shows. He was promoting his "sport" (lets not debate this here!) and trying to give greater exposure. People ripped on him for saying he was natural on air, but do you expect him to admit to using illegal substances for the televised world to hear?
I guess what I'm saying is, at least other people went out there and made an attempt to promote BBing and not sit back. Not that I'm looking for it, but I can't say I've seen Dex really make that effort.
-

No it's only around half that.
-
^^ the average is bullshit.. Alot of billionaires, millionaires that inflate that figure
-
Some saudi rich oil schmoe could destroy the ifbb. Sign the top guys, create new federation or could create a pro show with triple the prize money and make the olympia a 2nd rate show.
-
its alright that Dexter asked for 8000, but he should not talk for freeman.

to be fair, if asked. Usain bolt wouldn't admit to using either. or other top athletes in various performance sports
-

Obviously, you're the one who's confused.....read it again
-
i don't think he is worth a grand. hardly anyone comes to see the guest poser anyway. spectators at bbing shows are wannabes that want to see how they stack up to the competition,, family or friend of someone that is competing or shmoes
-
If i was a pro bb'er, i would just live and do business in Dubai. Richest guys in the world over there and they love bb'ing.

So many `Outed` M'Fer's in this thread!! >:(
-

Obviously. My point was that people constantly and consistently ask for the winner of the Olympia to stand up and speak out...when he does so, they'll find something to nitpick on when he does.
Ronnie tried and still seems to keep his face out there. Aside from a few things I've seen or heard about from Dexter, he hasn't done much if anything at all. Given, Ronnie was held the title for 8 years, versus Dexter only having one year. Maybe if Dex wins again this year (There are others I'd like to see win) he'll change some things that he did, or maybe I should say did not do. Time will tell.

A friend of mine who sponsors shows asks Dexter to guest pose for him for a up coming bodybuilding show.Dexter says, he charges $8000. The guy says, thats to much, can you do it for $5000, and Dexter, says, no I have to pay my bills. So then my friend see's Toney Freeman and asks him how much he would charge to guest pose.
Before Toney could answer, Dexter buts in and says, Tony don't take less then $8000, because he has to pay his bills.When I heard this I was like WTF.?????. The promoter I'm talking about is a nice guy, who puts on a great show, and is respected by the bodybuilding community.
Who does Dexter think he is??????????? If you ask me Dexter is an arrogant asshole, who doesn't deserve anything.
Asking more then $5000 to guest pose is crazy, heck your only on stage for 10 minutes tops. If you do the math thats $500 a minutes, or $30,000 an hour. Dexter Jackson - I hope he places 10th at the Mr Olympia.
haha...its not like your friend is forced to hire dexter.
-
he is recognized by less than .05 % of the American public
Which is the exact market he will be guest posing too ::) he's not guesting posing at the Superbowl
-

I would guess Dexter makes between half a million to a million a year, no more, and if he is playing his cards right, not likely less.
-
Getinon it's a free market. If your buddy doesn't want to pay what Dexter wants, go and get a cheaper option.
Go and get Ronnie Rockel. He wouldn't charge as much. Your buddy won't sell as many tickets either. That's the way the free market works. If he doesn't like it then go and live in China.

That ain't saying much.

occasionally people talk to me about dexter jackson out of no where and no not at the gym ::)
the reach of pro bodybuilding is greater than most here would like :D just the great difference between the gym goer/enthusiast and the bodybuilder on the stage prevents people from being outwardly associated with the sport + not wanting to be associated with something with such a bad reputation i.e. bodybuilding
myself? no I don't care about that rep... say it loud say it proud! I like & appreciate bodybuilding!!!! haha bodybuilder's anonymous meeting "YES YES I AM A BODYBUILDER (then cries)"

bodybuilding is the bridge between straightness and gayness. it is a sexual bridge. its a filthy road.
You really think that?
I dunno I do like bodybuilding and despite many chances to engage in "gayness" I never felt sexually attracted or in any way wanted to engage with the gay fellows making advances... but I suppose bodybuilding in a way puts you in that situation so yes... its odd in that regard...
When I attend a show for example in support of the competitors I know... I don't see anything sexually... I can almost feel the dedication, determination of sacrifice of the competitors as they pose on stage and judge the physiques objectively as if I was judging myself...

haha yes... I do look at those threads but imo whats different to that and the contest photos
its bodybuilding still... + what you doing down there ;D
I look at those threads to see that there are many many fantastic physiques that perhaps are not presented on the bodybuilding stage although those people been subjected to the same sacrifice, discipline etc. its a bit of a reality check for me... like "shit... there are shitloads of people way more jacked and ripped than me and they dont even compete"

I was going there to visit the college girls thread (one of the best things on the interwebs) and i saw you had the last post in that thread.
Anyway, it's only gay if you touched yourself while looking at those hunks.

Dex knows that he's the top Bber in the world.
He knows that he's gotta fly across the country to pose.
He knows that having the top Bber in the world, at a BBing show, means you'll sell more tickets.
if Lebron was willing to come down and dunk for 10 minutes at my local high school game at halftime, we would pack the place and sell way more than $8000 in tickets (provided adequate seating capacity).
Tell me you didn't just compare Dexter Jackson to Lebron James. LMAO Amazing
-
Ask 90% of the population who Dexter Jackson is? I bet unless they workout or they are a bodybuilder they dont know
the people that buy tickets to your friends show know who he is, they are the only ones that matter

If Tony Freeman's worth $5000, what's Mr. Olympia worth? ???

yea you said for appearances and merchandise 6 figures. The top guys of popular sports get 7-8 figures for that.

To get to stay home, go the gym, eat every few hours, compete a couple times a year, and go out a few weekends and get in your underwear for a bunch of muscleworshippers, and make over six figures.
Nope thats not bad at all.
But have fun while it last and invest wisely. :-*

MORE THAN 500K OR LESS THAN 500K :) HAHAHA
Well in prize money from his shows alone dexter won over 300,000 last year, thats of course pre taxes..........he won the olympia and the arnold, plus some smaller shows.........
now add to that his guest posings, "sponsors", muscle tech contract, ami contract, and whatever else he has going, im sure it was well over 500,000, but thats before he was raped by the IRS.
-
240, Dexter doesn't sell tickets, people know he is an asshole. Jay sells tickets, Wolf sells tickets, Ronnie, used to sell tickets, lol. Trust me Dexter isn't worth $8000, he isn't even worth $1000 imo, he is arrogant, and too cocky.
If your going to hire a bodybuilder to guest pose they should be out going, and be liked by the fans.
I haven't heard one person say, Dexter isn't arrogant or he isn't full of himself.
That's funny you say this. I have a feeling there is some truth to this, even though I always wanted to give the guy the benefit of the doubt. Thinking maybe people just misread him, he is nervous..... Thing is and this thread made me think of it but this woman I know a couple years ago went to her fist BB show, it was in the neighborhood and someone gave her a ticket. anyhow she does not know any of the bodybuilders at all, it was about her first exposure to the stuff and Dexter J was the guest poser. Well anyhow she and her friend were introduced to Dexter after the show and she said the same thing the guy seemed like an arrogant jerk and very full of himself. Go figure the chick never even heard of Dex before the show and came away with that impression.
I always say if lots of people are saying it there must be a trend there.
-
you think 100k is a lot for the top guy in the 'sport'? or did you get your '6 figures' confused.
Here is your quote....no mention of any comparison to any other sport....just a statement of how you believe that making over 100K for selling DVD and making appearances for 10 minutes is chump change
You were confused and thought I meant TOTAL money earned...just admit it and be on your way
-

No, I understood the first time. I didn't say 100k is chump change. I implied it is not a lot for someone who is #1 (the best) in their sport.
-
First of all, I'm not disgusted by it...I couldn't care either way what people do, or what their sexual orientation is.....BUT, for you to be making ridiculous statements about me is uncalled for, esspecially when you wouldnt know one thing about me.
As for G4P...I wouldn't know either way, as I've never been a part of it. I've always had this unique way of making money which seems to be a rarity aroud here....I had a JOB. A real job....there is no "G4P"....it's either something someone wants to do, or they wont do it....there are plenty of ways to make legitimate money...to shroud it under this "I had to do it, I needed the money" bullshit...is a joke.
i agree
