Ronnie Coleman guestposing at FIBO POWER 2008

[Moosejay]

Haha! That's great.

Yes, the highest I have ever heard for a Mr. O Guest Posing was 5k...Mike Katz paid Dorian this amount to guest at the (1992?) Mr. CT.

Dorian had just won the O the previous week....and he was nearly in Olympia condition.

Funny side not: This was the 'Natural CT & Northen States'...and some folks came to Mike and said it was 'curious' having Mr. O at a natural show.

Mike agreed...since then, we usually have the years previous winner of the show guest.

Do any of you guys get the impression that Ronnie is ashamed of himself now?  He is awesome.  He's the man and he doesn't give a shit.  I think it's so refreshing that he would show us that he may actually be human after all anyway.  The same way that he'll talk to most anyone, anywhere.  He'd probably take you to his house for a minute if circumstances called for it and treat you just like anyone.  He's just so real.  He still lives in that same house, too.  Ha ha.  I just think he's so cool.  I've had a couple of run-ins with him and he was always awesome.     

would you be ashamed if you were THE BEST IN THE WORLD at your chosen field for two years shy of a decade? fucck no, he could be 158 pounds of skinny/fat now and he'd still have the satisfaction of knowing that.

Jay, but seeing Ronnie is basically at the same level i can't inagine it would be too much different, a guy i used to talk to at my old gym said he picked up Ronnie and took him to his hotel for a show here in town and Ronnie said he got about 3K plus expenses for his appearance, said they went to McDoanld's and Ronnie ate 5 Filet o Fish's.

Its possible Your friend there got a deal, but believe me thats not even close to his price. Guest appearance Rates start at 2500, of course there are some desperate no name pros that compromise this figure but generally this is the cost. I know there is not that much money in bodybuilding but the guest poser is the main attraction. You are way to low on you figures.

I do think he is smart living in a same, modest house...as opposed to living too large and exhausting $ on things he does not need....like many of the lower-echelon pros do driving these outrageous, $100,000 cars and what not....

[tom joad]

maybe Ronnie has Arod's agent?

Well, Ronnie isn't exactly innocent of those charges, either...    

At least he made it into Dub magazine with his Bentley though. 

[Moosejay]

Oh, shit...does he really??

What kind of mag is that?

[swilkins1984]

Exactly plus a 2007 Charger SRT and 2 new kids.

[Moosejay]

So  it was not true that those triplets were his? forgive my ignorance....does he have kids of his own or not?

he's got a grown daughter in her 20's and his wife is pregnant i believe.

[McFarland]

DUB magazine, founded in January 2000, is a North American magazine covering urban custom car culture and also features celebrities and their vehicles.

Exactly. Muhammed Ali still gets mobbed whenever (less often these days) he makes an appearance and he is a wreck physically and is hardly coherent. He is the man and everyone knows it. When he dies, the story will be above the fold and his obit will be a full page.

Moose, he has two grown daughters. They are sweethearts. One is in college, and I think the other is in high school, I think.

[dearth]

you owned yourself with your less than flattering pictures of our fat self.
try cutting back on the donuts

post up a picture and own me if you look better.

[dearth]

the only thing ronnie gives a shit about is making money off the fans/promoters.

whether or not he looks like sh*t apparently doesn't matter to him, as long as the $$ keeps coming.

how dare you put muhammad ali in the same league as the GREAT RONNIE COLEMAN!!!

But he doesn't do exhibition boxing matches anymore, does he?

Some people know how to retire with grace.  Ronnie Coleman doesn't know how to do anything with grace

I think you're being overly harsh. One could argue that Ali did not retire gracefully as he got pounded in several ill-advised later bouts and you could argue that there isn't much graceful in bbing to start with. It is what it is, and Ronnie will always be liked and remembered for his prime rather than this later stuff anyway. Academic.

Here we go with one of those 'I have a friend or I know someone' stories.

I have a friend to who saw GOD!!! I am not lying either.  I saw the guy one day and the next day after he saw GOD there was a glow about him that was definitely not of this world. I captured some of the GLOW in a glass jar and I am about to seel it on EBAY. You wanna buy some GLOW?
