Title: 212 prize money?
Post by: MichaelScottDM on October 09, 2015, 07:12:58 PM
$6,000 to the winner of the Phoenix Europa 212 division? How the hell do these "smart" guys who quit their jobs to pursue this ridiculous career choice, pay their bills?

It's pathetic especially after taxes.

The website says 40,000 athletes and 200,000 members of the public expected.  Maybe the winner could throw down a hat like a homeless panhandler.  He might get more cash.

I only ask this because recently one of the 212 competitors, Erik Martinez, quit his job to be a "successful" bodybuilder. Not sure how you can be a success when your prize money is most likely going to be $500 or less.
