Why do most of the IFBB sanctioned contests have shitty prize money?

someone actually asked Bill Belichick whether the "quarterback position would be evaluated" this week.

We will see this sunday night. The Patriots play the Bengals at home.

The Pats were embarrassed by the Chiefs. I fully expect them to gut it up, and beat the Bengals.

Will that solve the problems? No, but it will show people that they need to calm down.

There needs to be a minimum of 25k for first place, in all IFBB sanctioned, pro contests.

correct me if i'm wrong but 25k is the sanctioning fee for most men pro shows.  i could have sworn shawn ray posted that a couple of years ago.  that's why lindsey only does amateur and women's shows.

Pretty much.  The line about questioning the QB position is pretty stupid.  I've said Brady's in decline, but not to the point the way people are reacting up here.

But, this is a team that was lucky to beat Oakland, and got walloped by the Chefs.  So Sunday is going to be a good test.

Prize money means less to many people than narcissistic gratification.

With that in mind, it is easy to see why shows offer such shitty prize money.

Because they can offer less.

Agreed, and guilty as charged (now if only I could manage to win one or the other...)
