As long as the pros are willing to compete for peanuts, they will continue to be paid peanuts.   :-\

Come on should this thread actually take off it will be an exercise in redundancy.  We all know what the pro's are willing to do and how they can be exploited.

And nothing will change unless the pros exercise their market power by boycotting the show.
If I was a pro, I would not compete in this show with this purse size, unless I was virtually guranteed the top spot (e.g., Ronnie Coleman doing the Grand Prix events in his Olympia condition a week after the big show).
I see Kamalis point ;)

There will be others to take their place.  There need to be fewer shows, that is the only way to increase the purse.

The real question is.. How many pros would do the Ironman if the Arnold wasnt right after it?  Hell why not,  they are already in shape. Two birds one stone.. Just one more chance to qualify for the O.

Tell that to Labrada, Henry, Dexter, Alves, Charles, Samir, Dickerson and the rest of the boys who were All Giant Killers in their time.
Oh by the way, the judges never ask who can lift more.
Ever heard of Markus Rhul, Jean Pierre Fux, Nasser, Dillett, Quinn, Christian.....ask them how it felt when they got beat by me when they all are stronger than me.
You just got PUNK'd Alexxx! :o

It does not matter how much you can lift but your game plan that counts.
