Grand Prix Shows for 09 increasing Prize MONEY???

[The GodFather]

Word from one Big time promoter is that instead of $1000 for 5th it's going up to $1020 and 1st is going up to $10k and $50 dollars.Man this is great news.An extra $50 and $20 Pro BB starting to be worth it in Grand Prix shows.

How much did Mr Getbig get?

[The GodFather]

$2K and cali airfares for two.The Promoters could learn from this site and they wonder why guys turn up looking like SHIT why the Fuk most people wouldn't even diet for 1k.Grand Prix prize money is pathetic.But then I guess the PROMOTER doesn't make one Fukin Penny.Joke

But the organizers of the Mr Getbig didn't have to pay sanction fees, hall rental etc so by your reckoning the prize money should have been much more?

You and I know Sponsors pay for most of EVERYTHING so the promoter has a cashed up door takings.Don't tell me they don't make a packet no Fukin way would they do it for Nics unless they are Schmoes.Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmm

so...how long has the ironman been around?  they cant find a sponsor or 2 w/$10K-$15K tax deductible cash to add to the purse?  it's a write off.

how many people come through the expo (5k, 15k)?  add $.75 to the cover charge which goes to the overall purse.  a lot of d##ba$$ running the underwear contest.

just put a couple of guys outside the hall w/cans.

bake sale.  sell girl scout cookies.

                                 All Great points but it's not like 10k for 1st and 1k for 5th is not a LARGE amount of money After all these guys don't spend much money on Gear or Food or other little costs.Would you rather the Promoters end of day CASH or the Poor dumb Pro who gets 10k for 1st??.Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

The promoters will probably increase the entry fees to make up the difference
