IE. tampa pro.

do they pay for travel and hotel for these shows?


Most people are lucky to win 1000 bucks.  It cost that much just to travel and stay at a decent hotel in Tampa.

You pay one way or another...

Like gyms, most hotels will recognize they are professional athletes and comp the room.

Only in the 10k shows and it depends.  Some promoters pay top bodybuilders to compete in their show and provide hotel, meals, transportation, etc.  The Olympia or the Arnold Classic doesn't pay any competitor expenses

Are you sure Vince? Do they get perdium (sp?) or do they actually get a driver waiting for them at the airport?

Ha Ha.  Hell no they don't get a driver or even a rental car.  They either get a shuttle bus ticket or reimbursed for a taxi cab (usually bus fare).  I rode the shuttle bus one time sitting next to Darrem Charles and one highly pissed off David Henry.

100% wrong, Vince...

Both the ASC and Olympia pay ALL the expenses for the show...hotel, airfare, and 150/ per diem.

Circuit shows are subject to the promoter...some pay hotel/ air, etc...some dont. Most cases, they will pay for a certain amount of pro's...

As a guest poser or as a competitor?

BoB,

Would you agree that most shows can barely break even from ticket sales? THerefore how would it be worth their while to subsidize the travel costs of a Pro bber?

[Coach is Back!]

Depends on which judge they're staying with

yes, no show can break even with ticket sales...that said, it's the sponsor money that makes up the majority of revenue, not ticket sales.

Oops! Vince once again shows himself to be the village idiot.

You are full of shit.  The Arnold and Olympia are invitational events (or you have to qualify).  The airfare, hotel and maybe some meals with some kind of per diem is paid to each competitor.  That is what happens at an invitational event.  If a pro or celebrity is invited to an event they do  not pay shit.  And all transportation to and from the event is taken care of.  See Goodrum you are talking out of your ass again.  Fuck you are stupid.

[noworries]

Just saw Chic's post.  But regardless Goodrum gets caught again not knowing what he is talking about.  No wonder he hasn't been back to post on here

[Ron]

Goodrum most of the time doesn't know what he is talking about - hence no one takes him seriously.

Yes, the Arnold and Olympia take very good care of the competitors.

Smaller shows are different.   Professional bodybuilders, if they are a self employed business, can deduct the expenses. All competitors market themselves. Get the good sponsorship deals, the right contracts, endorsements, etc. 

Some of the athletes have their room and expenses covered by their sponsors or endorsement companies, and some don't.

Vince, will you be competing in the Negro homo Classic this year? And if so, do they cover hotel, meal, transportation, dildo's, anal lube etc etc?

I can guarantee you this is a lie.  No way ever would those guys be caught dead on the same bus as you no matter what.  Maybe this is one of your dreams you seem to have alot.  Have you ever dressed Vissy up as a black bodybuilder so you can say you've had sex with one.  Or maybe deress Vissy up as a life-sized grapefruit

[James28]

Dear me, this slimy Vince creature caught lying again.

[marcos chacon]

i dont know in USA but in SPAIN  at amatuer level at the nationals competitors get paid hotel and food, for the week end, why shouldnt it be the same for the pros when there is only 20 pros more aless in a competition, last spanish nationals allmost 200 competitors, with hotel paid by organitation.
