Why do bodybuilders charge money for autographs??

[Matt C]

Bumped for response...

I'd like to know why this was done here in Knoxville (at least one year, maybe  more) when Ron says it's NOT COMMON PRACTICE at ALL by bodybuilders, especially amatuers.  I think the fans deserve a response.  People gotta make a living but that just seems to be not right at all to do that to your hometown folk when Ron says hardly anyone in the industry does that...

I'd pay $100 for an autograph from Peter's cute wife.    Discuss.

You're a fag, end of story. Any self-respecting straight guy would get at least a handjob for that kind of cash.

A c note for a HJ, no way.

A BJ or it's off.

Is that how much you charge?  Now who is bullshitting?  Guaranteed you would do either one for just a quarter.  Hey you haven't called SAG to tell them they are only supposed to pay the stars residuals did you.  Man you'll screw it up for a lot of people.  You are the only who knows this secret so keep your piehole shut.  Oh and did you call Ferrigno's office to prove I was right about that too.  Come on man you are my best proof.  Grow some balls.

Hahaha.... Hey, did you pay up the C note you owed the beef yet Deadbeat Keith???

I walk the walk, you just talk the talk, which is unadulterated bullshit.

Now either pay up or STFU "Deadbeat Keith".

Hope this helps.

I'm wondering what percentage of "autograph money" income is reported to the IRS.......?

Additionally, I'd still wonder how you'd do that to people where you are from and not to that (charge for an autograph) to people when you travel.  That's taking advantage of the ignorance of the local population when it comes to just how unimportant bodybuilding really is in the grand scheme of things.

Any way to make a buck, though..

Some big ballplayers have felony convictions for nto reportign thsi type of income, so the answer is some do some don't.

Since Lou only gets about 150 autographs per show ($3K), with 2 shows per year, he is making $6K in autograph money. I bet he does not report it. He is cheap, and stupid.

So he is making peanuts from whoring out his autographs and I bet that is the majority of his yearly income.

Pete Rose went to prison for this (more or less)..

Again your ignorance explodes off the pages of Getbig.  Who said he only does 2 shows a year? You?  Call his office moron.  Check online on how many comic expos he does, and other appearances.  DO I sense a hint of jealousy between Lou and you.  Are you one of those punk 14 year old kids who didn't have the $20 to get an autograph from big Lou.  Sorry son for your hurt but don't take it out on a guy who is more successful than you will ever be.  Look at it this way, if you keep flipping the burgers like you do now, in 24 months you will be able to work the front counter.

cant you guys just chat like adults, why the insults?

I have never seen a pro bodybuilder charge for their autograph only, they do charge for a 8 x 10 photo with their autograph, they have to make money somehow.

Lou charges Onlyme $50 for an autograph because he is a "special needs" child, but on the upside Lou give this moron a free blow job.

Jabba The Hut's favorite line "Dont hate us because we have been successful"......errr....OK, living in a car at aeg 50 is not my idea of success Jabba, and I am sure selling autographs for $20 a pop when you're 55 years old is "successful" in your 5th grade mind....Man, it never ends with a mental moron like Jabba.

Hey, are you living in a van? I know you don't own a home, property or anything else of value at 50+ years of age-guess your "success" has gone to your head. ..Bawwwhahahaha......... .....

Hey Jabba, I have a legitimate question for you.

Being that you are such a "success" and such a "big movie star" (errr...2 walk on bit parts);

WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO PAY BEEFY HIS $100 FOR THE PDI BET???

You are a broke pennyless loser, who does not pay up on even a puny $100 bet.

OK, your shot buddy, lets hear your bullshit to this one... 

[willie mosconi]

I actually saw Ferrigno at Gold's pose for a picture with a fan for free! He didn't ask for any $ at all

Now, back to Keith-who has disappeared, why are you a deadbeat?  I mean if you are such a big star, why can't you pay a $100 bet fat man?

I'll take that bet.

[JohnnyVegas]

No problem, did I lose the bet yet and what was it.  To tell you the truth I forgot all about it.  But, if it was anything about the PDI not happening anymore you I think I should wait.  The powers to be has told me that if medically he can do something this year then he will.  If there is no NOC this year then I would say it was done.  but there are still the European shows taking place.  And if I owe you from a bet I don't have a problem Paypal you anytime.  but, tell me what the bet was for first.

DEADBEAT!!!!!!

Thanks Keith, it was PDI having 6 more shows by years end. To date ( since the bet ) they had two shows on top of the number thay had had when we bet . . . so  you do have until Jan 1st if you want.
You are a stand up guy.

The Beef

Even the extra time did not help this deadbeat pay up.

Hope this helps Jabba. 

[JohnnyVegas]

And please if you live in vegas come up and say hi to me and introduce yourself.

Only if you PROMISE not to eat me Jabba.
