$20,000 for most improved?? Most Improved from what?
pretty good guess...except for the fact the prize money was put into escrow and is guaranteed from the IFBB...
This was changed about 5 years ago, as before he change, these provisions were not in place and we had a few instances where the athletes got screwed.
Interesting...if that is the case then there is absolutely no chance this show will be held again next year.
Could you enlighten us as to how she intends to pay out that prize money?

the promotor must have lost a SHIT LOAD of money tho
that even didn't seem like a huge turnout
not a lot of competitors
not talked about that much
and almost 200k in prize money

In a recent PBW interview Dex said if he won he would take the year off and train for the next Masters show....Unfortunately there probably won't be one.
As for Escrow, Chick is right on, Darrem got screwed a few yrs back out of $10 or $15K and the escrow rule was started...
I would be curious tho as to who put up all this money

I don't want to sound negative here, but...
Of course the show won't be held next year. Arnold Europe also probably saw it's first and last time.
Most likely one year wonders!

What data would you make this statement on...especially on the ASC Europe? the
Lorimer/ Arnold company has enough money to put this show on foe the next 50 years.....
To run this type of contest, with the prize money, sanction fees, special apperances fees, hotels, flights and more - well over $400,000. So in essense, someone put up a ton of money who loves the sport of bodybuilding, who wanted to see the legends in one place at least once in their life. Yes, it is a ton of money to lose.
Unless there are some very rich people out there.
if I'm not mistaken...that was the very first proposal I submitted as athletes rep. the way Wayne ran things, it was inevitable that athletes would be left holding the bag with no guarantees from the very federation sanctioning the event.....

That would be strange to invest all you eggs into a show that has no guarantee of being put on, and is at the end of the year....especially since Dex is still competitive on the circuit...unless there are personal reasons for taking the year off, this wouldn't be a good strategy.
DId you propose it before or after Darrem got screwed out of his paycheck?

Unfortunately....I wasn't the athletes rep when that occurred. So the answer would be after. What I did do, was insure that it never happens again. What was also unfortunate, was that Wayne did absolutely nothing about it other than throw up his hands and pass the blame onto the promoter...
