Do bodybuilders get extra bonuses from sponsors for product placements?
« on: September 06, 2007, 07:36:45 AM »
I know that Jay has a contract from MuscleTech to appear in ads, but does he get paid extra bonuses when he wears his muscletech tanktop on camera?  Or spends 30 minutes talking about MT supps that he cannot even pronounce?  He is also sponsored by SHEIK and you see him sporting the weight belt and straps.

Everytime I have seen Jay on Camera he sports the MT T-shirt, whether he's at the gym, shopping at costco or chilling at home.  I presume he gets kick backs on top of his normal contract for this.

No...it's considered part of your job as a spokesman, or endorsed athlete...that's what you get paid to do.

Bob Chick - "nano vapor is so awesome that you can take it right there in the gym, right?"

Are you a spokesperson for Muscletech as well?

Bob would you have laughed out loud if Jay had said during his endorsement for Muscletech in that video that you can unravel the Gakic poster and put it on your fridge?  ;D

No...I'm not...nor did I ever say that.

As the host, It's my responsibility to make sure the athletes are represented to the best of my ability, as well as their companies....If they want to endorse their companies products, all the power to them.

Bob, the second half of that interview with Cutler was just truly horrible and pathetic. It turned into a sad muscle tech infomercial

he added 10lbs by using the muscle tech stack..I am all for promotion but my god man that  "interview" was just brutal to watch

Definitely got the shaft on the interview. I found myself skipping minutes forward to find serious questions but just got more ads.   >:(

Anyways... decent video. It's true that you get what you pay for.

Hey Bob, actually it wasnt that bad, the thing is though is that Jay isnt the most exciting person in the world, and can suprisngly come off a bit dry.
