In every other "sport", the athletes salary are all know. We know A-Rod is raping the Yankees for $30 million this year. But in bbing, everything is so hush, hush. I know when i was with Muscletech, if you turn pro while under contract you get a salary of $24k a year. I heard Seth was getting $60K a year and another pro from Tampa was making $80K a year. I would "assume" Phil is getting six figures and Ronnie got a cool million for BSN
Not in every other sport. Sports that have salary caps or salary penalties. The biggest sports with teams on them, aka basketball, baseball, football. Most other sports do not disclose salaries, except prize money from each event that they can get.
As for supplement companies, or other sponsors, they tend to keep things quiet because it is a business. You don't know how much other people get from other sponsors in other sports either. They don't go blasting out that info either. It just isnt good business. Same with actors in Hollywood either.
But, yes, quite a few bodybuilders can make 100K and more a year if they mix it up with contracts, guest posings and seminars, and more. And not the G4P crap some of you think. I know one bodybuilders that has a deal with a supplement company, a restaurant, a show company, a clothing companies, and some others sponsors.
