Hmmmm..............not a very impressive or interesting lineup  IMO

[QuakerOats]

David Henry and Kevin English for the top 2.

[Reign Down]

It'll be interesting to compare them to the big boys after!

[LurkerNoMore]

Hmmmm..............not a very impressive or interesting lineup  IMO

No, it's not.

Shabazz will place out of the top 5 and then run back home to Atlanta and bitch-n-gripe for the next 4 months.

Henry should clean house.

[cannon_fodder]

Jaroslav Horvath is very underrated in my opinion. Would like to see him fighting it out with Henry/Lewis for the top spot

[QuakerOats]

you guys are forgetting about English, he won the 202 and under at the New York Pro.

Jaroslav Horvath is very underrated in my opinion. Would like to see him fighting it out with Henry/Lewis for the top spot

x 2

[MAXX]

where is Lee Priest?

[titusisback]

Holy crap.. if you're the 3rd best under 202 lb bodybuilder in the world, you don't even earn as much as Mr. GetBig 

[spinnis]

Add Tom Prince to that list  

[Bluto]

Some big money there.

[Armstrong]

D. Henry is way better than anyone in this lineup.  Is he doing the 202 show or the main show.  Can they do both?

Hahahah.....are you fucking kidding me, $7 grand for 1st place and a WHOPPING $3 grand for second place!

That does not even cover the drug cycle for the winner, it does not cover 1/4 of the drug cycle for the runner up.

I swear to God, if these idiot Pro BBer's don't know a scam when it bites them in the friggen ass then they almost deserve to get ripped off.

Who in their right mind would "compete" for that shit prize money??

You might as well call the "Pro's" elephants, because they will work for peanuts. I guess these elephants  don't have a problem with it.

[JohnnyVegas]

Some big money there.

1St place, after taxes = $5K

That is about 1.5-2 monhts of living and training costs in So Cal-on the cheap-not including juice.

Add in juice and it is a month's worth of expense.

David Henry has a real job on the side.

Dont know about the others but i wuold guess they have to.

they ALL have to have regular jobs, no one can live on $0K-$7K 2 or 3 shows per year.

This is an extra part of the show. They can be in both in the qualified for both, otherwise they can choose to compete or not.  Not bad for a days work, if you make the top three.  Imagine, you can also work a booth, get sponsored by companies, and more.... such is the business.

For this show, I have for the top three...

1) David Herny
2) Flex Lewis
3) Kevin English

[onlyme]

I have to admit a $7,000 1st prize for the biggest title in bodybuilding is probably the most embarrassing thing ever.  Was that a misprint.  Should it say $70,000

[Captain Equipoise]

Sad considering Mr.O gets what... $150,000 for first ?

I agree. What they should do is just give the top three either NOTHING, use the 202# class as extra promotion, or just give a nominal sum to the top 3, like a grand each (or even 10, 15 grand split evenly 3 ways).

But the money is so small it really takes any legitimacy out of the show.

Are you speaking from experience?  So technically they are getting paid 5,000 junior bacon cheeseburgers if my math is correct.

If this "bodybuilding" hobby is so "dumb" then why do you spend all day between shifts at Wendy's posting and ripping aprat this hobby? 

5K is not bad winnings for a hobby that you love to do.

[michael arvilla]

It would cost you more to "prep" for this show than it's worth
