King Kamali is still making over 100K a year

[onlyme]

I've heard that a lot of people have been saying that he's pretty much finished and washed up and is soon to be broke....but that's not the case at all for these reasons.......


1.  His contract with Cytodyne is over however he still has endorsements with Supreme Protein, Physique Bodywear, Prosource.net.  They are small contracts but its still money in the bank

2.  He still has a contract with MuscleMag for his editorials. 

3.  He is still doing a number of guest posings.  He's especially popular on the international circuit and being one of the very few IFBB pros of Arab descent.  Other than Iran obviously, he is welcome in many other places.



To be honest, its actually Getbig and other places that hate him that is keeping his name out there in the spotlight.  If you want Kamali to truly fall flat on his face, then I'd suggest not bringing up his name so much

Aren't you the one who started this thread

SUED!!!!!!!!!!!

Kamali is a good dude !  He's an entertainer..

[PANDAEMONIUM]

Yeah really. I make 100k in Houston and I don't have to put drugs in my body or G4P....

 

[honest]

100k per year is good money if your normal person, 100k per year isn't much if food and gear costs you $60k to $80k per year doesn't really leave a lot for other things such as investments retirement not having health cover etc.
I love bodybuilding, but financially it doesn't stack up, props to King for doing what he wants, but it always make me cringe when pros retire sighting health issues and beg on the internet for donations.

Ok, Middle Eastern descent....who gives a shit

[gracie bjj]

i met the king at some nightclub in new york years ago and he was really cool,he talked to everyone and seemed to have a good personality,then again i was hammered and on x so everyone seemed great that night

Sucks for you. The lowest income on GetBig is over a million a year. 100k is pocket change. Monster fail.

Iranians are not very close to "arabs" at all. They are Persians, a people of indo-european aryan descent. Some of them have blond hair and blue eyes, they have their own language etc.

"Who gives a shit", well it's interesting to observe your lack of knowledge given that you frequently diss others for lacking academic skills.

The point goatball is they have the dough to keep him going and live in the same region.  I guess Iran is in Central America...McGoat.

How is that possible?

[honest]

Its really quite conservative.
Contest prep 12 to 16 weeks gear and HGH, anti estrogen's stimulants etc ( at  $120 per day )  15 k x 2 per year. Call it $30k for both

Now from looking at King i would say, he doesn't downsize to much so max 6 to 8 week break if any, don't believe anything he says, believe me pros can even lie to themselves, so throw in one off season course as well, average 10iu jins day plus 1 to 2 amps sust with insulin say 12 weeks 84 days at say a $100 per day. So $8400   

 DailyDieting on 500g protein per day 200 from his supps given free to him. 300g from food, say he cooks 4 meals and eats out once, allowing 20 bucks to eat 60grams of protein from sushi. Groceries say $300 per week x 52 = 17,500 approx

Eating out once per day 350 days x 20 bucks $7,000 cheap sushi rate.

I would say the above looks pretty close from what Ive seen first hand but what would i know.  maybe 80 k was a bit high still doesn't leave much after you pay for your mobile put petrol in and service the car, not to many people can run successful small businesses over a long period of time when they gross 100k, not hating guys just being real.

Throw something up for debate

dont know their expenses but this seems high but i guess the content is correct.  you'd only have like 4 or 5 pros on the stage every show.  are all these guys running negative worth except a couple.

 100 percent yes thats why you have gay 4 pay and pros who deal steroids, its an expensive sport to do at the elite level and financially the rewards are limited, the above is also budgeted if King really does get 100k after tax, i seriously doubt it, most bodybuilding expenses such as drugs and food couldn't be used as tax deductions. To earn a 100k he would have to gross $140, considering he didn't win any prize money this year,or last, i cant see the sense in signing him up for a big contract as he would be getting limited exposure due to low placings.

i'd say 30,000/50,000 for top guy ,meaning top 5 at o or arnold winner .but i don't have blue stars u do....so u would maybe really know.

  look at you trying to sound all aristocratic and blue blooded. if you don't think anybody who decends from anywhere between vienna and mongolia hasn't been mixed by at least one of the hundreds of empires/tribes that have washed through the area in the passed 1000 years then you are just plain ignorant.  and the rare and odd 'pure' cases barely number enough to speak for the rest of the general public.  get off your high horse, we're all mutts.

[ManBearPig...]

i'm pure.

Most IFBB pros get their gear for free actually and never have to pay a dime for it.  Dealers literally lob stuff at athletes so they can say they supplied them.   While most people have to pay for it, IFBB pro's usually don't.  Its basically an endorsement.

Vince is actually right.

Wow that fucking hurt me to type that.

Where does this guy get his info from? Does he know any IFBB pros? No, so why say such nonsense!!!!

How in the hell did you come to that conclusion? Every pro I know has to pay for it and it ain't cheap.

who are the pros going to tell how great the gear is?
other pros? they'll get it free too
= net loss for the dealer

[Robert_Lopez]

It amazes me that grown men ( I assume ) make such claims not knowing any IFBB guys. Just because you make fun of them on boards or take a pic with them or just see them in the magazines doesn't make you personal friends with them Vince. How the hell do you know what King makes or if any of the guys get their stuff free. "NEWSFLASH", not even Mr.Olympia gets anything for free!!!
