Why do you insist on asking how much money Steve has made as a pro?

He's made the same amount as Dexter Jackson did when he first turned pro...OK?

Everybody knows IFBB is the highest level of bodybuilding at the moment.

               And 180 out of 200 IFBB Pros never make a penny.

They do...in our case, It's made by way of prize money and contracts...

You're making yourself look stupid with this attack...nobody got into pro BB for the money...EVER

Chick, is there any particular reason why you and Dan don't interview the Lifetime Achievement recipient(s) after the show like you do with some of the competitors and Arnold?

The IFBB Pro League does not pay you anything. You have to pay them.
Some (very few) athletes use their Pro Card to get a better standing with potential sponsors.
It remains a fact that bodybuilders are the most underpaid athletes.

We would have loved to have interviewed Franco, but webcasting isnt the same as telecasting the event on TV....were two seperate entities, meaning...we would have to have capabilities to coordinate with the ASC production staff to cut away for the interview which means something else going on in the show WOULDN'T get shown to the webcast audience....

Other than that, if Franco was around at the conclusion of the show...we could have had both Arnold AND Franco on with interviews....

Simple just get him on your radio show.Seems like a Cool guy.Very short but he did win the Olympia in 81 and that had NOTHING to do with the fact that Arnold won the 80.

1. Pros from other organization doesnīt matter the IFBB....but to compete in IFBB Pro Shows those Athletes need an IFBB Starter Lizens and they have to qualify as all other Amateurs to get htere IFBB Procard.

2. in the case of Mabrouk/Egypt (several time IFBB World Champion) it was not against the IFBB rules, "cause" IFBB Pros are allowed
   to go back to the Amateurs (losing there Procard), but canīt get a new Procard after this (Re-Amateurs, i remember Hamdullah Aykutlug who did the same, after he recognized that he wonīt be a top-Pro....).

     Yes but Mike Kefa is an IFBB Pro on the Australian poster.Doesn't matter anyway this guy couldn't even win his class in the Amateurs 3rd out of 5.Should do well in IFBB Pro shows.
