Dexter, does it again - wants $8,000 for guest posing

[GetItOnNY]

A friend of mine who sponsors shows asks Dexter to guest pose for him for a up coming bodybuilding show.Dexter says, he charges $8000. The guy says, thats to much, can you do it for $5000, and Dexter, says, no I have to pay my bills. So then my friend see's Toney Freeman and asks him how much he would charge to guest pose.

Before Toney could answer, Dexter buts in and says, Tony don't take less then $8000, because he has to pay his bills.When I heard this I was like WTF.??.  The promoter I'm talking about is a nice guy, who puts on a great show, and is respected by the bodybuilding community.

Who does Dexter think he is?? If you ask me Dexter is an arrogant asshole, who doesn't deserve anything.
Asking more then $5000 to guest pose is crazy, heck your only on stage for 10 minutes tops. If you do the math thats $500 a minutes, or $30,000 an hour. Dexter Jackson - I hope he places 10th at the Mr Olympia.

[dyslexic]

Who does Dexter think he is?

Uhhhhhh...



Mr. Olympia?

[bigdumbbell]

that aint alot after taxes   

[Mars]

Uhhhhhh...



Mr. Olympia?

but who gives a shit about that?

[GetItOnNY]

Ask 90% of the population who Dexter Jackson is? I bet unless they workout or they are a bodybuilder they dont know

[gordiano]

but who gives a shit about that?

Mars, are you saying that even something like Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest is a more prestigious title than the Mr. O?

[Stavios]

lol they don't even deserve 5k IMO

[Blockhead]

that aint alot after taxes   

Guest-Posing usually harnesses CA$H only.


 - Block!

[Wiggs]

LMAO...Dexter can be a prick.When I spoke to him last year he seemed really cool but I think it was because I am a brother.  i just got that vibe.

[Sir Humphrey]

Dexter is an ugly, angry midget. Invite an interesting promising young pro to guest pose, like Fouad or Evan, not some midget pin-cushion with all the charm and personality of a boiled potato.

[spinnis]

lol they don't even deserve 5k IMO

at fucking Most 2.

I'd say it's less than that. Hell, ask at a gym, and most people wouldn't know.

[240 is Back]

Dex knows that he's the top Bber in the world.

He knows that he's gotta fly across the country to pose.

He knows that having the top Bber in the world, at a BBing show, means you'll sell more tickets.

if Lebron was willing to come down and dunk for 10 minutes at my local high school game at halftime, we would pack the place and sell way more than $8000 in tickets (provided adequate seating capacity).

he is recognized by less than .05 % of the American public

Don't compare that no one has ever heard of apart from a small niche, to a world-famous tall REAL ATHLETE who has REAL ATHLETIC SKILL.  

[Wiggs]

I saw Robert and the Flamingo and Sandhill Gold's last week.  Legit 24 inch arms man.  I thought I had decent arms but it totally demotivated me to do arms.  From what I can tell no synthol.  His calves are at least 20-21 inches.  Amazing speciman and nice guy.

[Sir Humphrey]

So is China's place on the map, what's your point 

[The Wizard of Truth]

Baddell in 2006,when he was finishing 3rd in the Olympia cost us 3500euro

Wolf last year cost us 3000euro

And they had to travel to Ireland which no doubt was hassle for them.

We are hoping to get Kai or Phil Heath for next aprils show, I wonder what the cost will be

[GetItOnNY]

240, Dexter doesn't sell tickets, people know he is an asshole. Jay sells tickets, Wolf sells tickets, Ronnie, used to sell tickets, lol. Trust me Dexter isn't worth $8000, he isn't even worth $1000 imo, he is arrogant, and too cocky.

If your going to hire a bodybuilder to guest pose they should be out going, and be liked by the fans.
I haven't heard one person say, Dexter isn't arrogant or he isn't full of himself.

240 please....   LeBron and Dexter? I get your point, but c'mon. One is a legitimate sport that generates billions a year and pays its athletes millions, takes place in state of the art venues, and it's stars are known worldwide. The other, well, you know. Shit, I'm amazed these fuckers even get 5k for strutting around "off season" for 3 minutes.

Comparing the NBA to the IFBB/NPC, is like comparing your local bingo game to a state lottery.

who, in proper attire, would attend his after olympia party?

[GetItOnNY]

Wiggs, you met and saw Robert at the Mr USA, when we met....Do you remember? I was talking to you, and Robert right before the finals.
Roberts arms have not one ounce of synthol, and his calves are probably 21-22".
Wiggs are you going to the Mr Olympia Expo? Is Blockhead going?
Robert will be at our booth.The only thing that sucks about having Robert at our booth is he makes me look small, at 250lbs.

Yep, I remember.  I've never seen him offseason.  Huge guy, it makes his head look really small.  Yes sir.  I'll be there all day Friday and Saturday and be in attendance for the press conference.  I don't think Block is going.  Robert has a great future ahead of him.

[GetItOnNY]

Wigss stop by our booth.We have 2 booths, we will be next to Ed Hardy.

Yes Robert does have a bright future ahead of him, he is only 30 years old. He looks so big in person he looks like a fu%$# cartoon.Robert and I usually meet for lunch every couple of weeks to talk about biz, and his training.When he walks into any place people just stare, like they just seen an alien, its quite funny. People aren't used to seeing someone that big, and he isn't fat lol.
