LOl....guess if you're a multimillionaire....you would be right in comparison. You would shit if you knew what he makes, but for the opposite reason you list. He's made 6 figures just between guest posings and merchandise this year...not including his contracts with Weider/ ami and MT

you think 100k is a lot for the top guy in the 'sport'? or did you get your '6 figures' confused.

just by entering his website you know Dexter is a douche.

Dorian Yates is the only intelligent and down to earth mr. o to date.

whats that got to do with Dex asking $8k as mr.o and some other guy taking $5k who isnt mr.o, and what other athletes are getting?

like i said, at $400k a pop for 10 seconds runs, and multi million $ prizes for tennis and golf, and so on... six figures for the top guy is a pittance.

whats the average income in the US? $50-$60k...for joe average?

$90k for college graduates a year or two out?

i would suggest taking these pro BB's total income, subtracting the cost for them to prep and maintain their lifestyle to remain at the top, then compare to Joe Average.

seems to me that they might be better off just with a day job, or a college education...even moreso in the long run.

In comparison to other sports and different professions, I'm sure that Dexter doesn't make much for where he is in his given profession (#1 in the world- popular or not). Someone earlier said that a low ranking golfer can make $250k and nobody in the golfing world really knows him. Now put that against Dexter who is #1 in BBing and still nobody knows him.

I remember Ronnie being on Leno, Letterman, and Rosie O'Donnell among other lesser known shows. He was promoting his "sport" (lets not debate this here!) and trying to give greater exposure. People ripped on him for saying he was natural on air, but do you expect him to admit to using illegal substances for the televised world to hear?

I guess what I'm saying is, at least other people went out there and made an attempt to promote BBing and not sit back. Not that I'm looking for it, but I can't say I've seen Dex really make that effort.

No it's only around half that.

^^ the average is bullshit.. Alot of billionaires, millionaires that inflate that figure

Some saudi rich oil schmoe could destroy the ifbb. Sign the top guys, create new federation or could create a pro show with triple the prize money and make the olympia a 2nd rate show.

its alright that Dexter asked for 8000, but he should not talk for freeman.

i don't think he is worth a grand. hardly anyone comes to see the guest poser anyway. spectators at bbing shows are wannabes that want to see how they stack up to the competition,, family or friend of someone that is competing or shmoes

If i was a pro bb'er, i would just live and do business in Dubai. Richest guys in the world over there and they love bb'ing.

Obviously. My point was that people constantly and consistently ask for the winner of the Olympia to stand up and speak out...when he does so, they'll find something to nitpick on when he does.
Ronnie tried and still seems to keep his face out there. Aside from a few things I've seen or heard about from Dexter, he hasn't done much if anything at all. Given, Ronnie was held the title for 8 years, versus Dexter only having one year. Maybe if Dex wins again this year (There are others I'd like to see win) he'll change some things that he did, or maybe I should say did not do. Time will tell.

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.

haha...its not like your friend is forced to hire dexter.

I would guess Dexter makes between half a million to a million a year, no more, and if he is playing his cards right, not likely less.

Getinon it's a free market. If your buddy doesn't want to pay what Dexter wants, go and get a cheaper option.

Go and get Ronnie Rockel. He wouldn't charge as much. Your buddy won't sell as many tickets either. That's the way the free market works. If he doesn't like it then go and live in China.
