Scott A is number 1. He has been disguised as Oprah.

Becasue POWER means MONEY...which BB has any money??? NONE.

While Ronnie has the most trophies and exposure he still did not make in all of his career what a pro basketball or football player makes in one year. Michael Jordan is still raking in money from Hanes, ATT, RAYOVAC etc etc, Oprah makes 260 MILL a year, boxers sign multi million dollar contracts...Ronnie would be the MIKE TYSON of BB yet his contracts are measured in the hundreds of thousands NOT MILLIONS. He only has a few endorsements as opposed to a sports figure from the big three.

What is needed is a way to make BB more popular and the only way to do that is to tie it in with strong man events, which will then attract sponsors, companies, investors etc. As it stands BB is looked upon as beauty pagent for men and muscles and needs to have its image changed as something more. Once that happens people will gravitate towards BB, endorsers will come, money will be made, bigger contracts signed and the best of the best will eventually become RICHER than the rest...VOILA next thing you now someone is on the FORBES list.
