he is bigger than Jordan, Woods, everyone right now, in all fairness

[The_Punisher]

as much as any other great Olympians since when people cared that much about swimming. we only give a fuck about it every 4 years

Michael Phelps is a shitty athlete. Real athletes get winded walking up a flight of stairs and need an oxygen tank after posing in a thong for a bunch of men.

HAHAHAHHA....ROFLMAO.... .HAHAHAHAHHAHA

[Howard]

i dont' know, but he's got a ton of sponsors.  doesn't he get to be on a wheaties box, which brings $1 m with it?

i know it pales in comparison to your typical ifbb pro's payday, but hey, we can't all be Sami El-Igiveheadfor My CarElPaintjobs.

As great an athlete as he is, kinda ironic there is pro BODYBUILDING but no pro swim league....hmmmmmmm
Phelps will cash in on ads and sponsers and I wish him well

also, i heard in all sports but bodybuilding, you're a "pro" because you make a few million a year, not because you get a card that says you're a pro that you have to pay for.  do you think nba players carry around a card that says " Kobe Bryant, Professional Basketball player, card expires 12/09"?

also, to become a pro in other sports depends on your skill set , not on your blowjob skills like bodybuilding.

Kamali has a Puma contract, so whatchu guys talkin about?

I personally find that having God given talent for these "sports" makes you a pussy. Real athletes compensate by taking massive amounts of designer steroids and other chemicals. Nothing wrong with trying to be something you're really not!

who is micheal phelps ?

8 gold medals, that's awesome. He should try a real sport like bodybuilding to see what he is made of

here are a few:

'Today, Matsunichi — a little-known Hong Kong-based consumer electronics company eager to expand in Asia and Europe and enter the U.S. market — will announce that it has signed Phelps to be its chief spokesman for the next four years.

That means he'll make TV commercials and do personal appearances worldwide.

Although the size of the contract — which runs through the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing — was not disclosed, sports marketing executives estimate it could exceed $4 million over the four years. That would rank it among the largest deals signed by an Olympic athlete.'

'Speedo announced the extension of an endorsement deal with world-record swimmer Michael Phelps through 2009. This is Speedo's richest swimwear sponsorship to date.

When compared to Jay Culter's million dollar deals that's nothing
