As long as the pros are willing to compete for peanuts, they will continue to be paid peanuts. $:-\$

Come on should this thread actually take off it will be an exercise in redundancy. We all know what the pro's are willing to do and how they can be exploited.

And nothing will change unless the pros exercise their market power by boycotting the show.
If I was a pro, I would not compete in this show with this purse size, unless I was virtually guranteed the top spot (e.g., Ronnie Coleman doing the Grand Prix events in his Olympia condition a week after the big show).

I see Kamalis point

There will be others to take their place. There need to be fewer shows, that is the only way to increase the purse.

Twenty thousand dollar rock formation pool? Was that an above ground job???

Diablo?

Where's the Murci Roadster? That's "gangster!!!

Last I heard, big Ron was rolling a Continental GT! That's "gangster"!!!

Shawn Ray · « **Reply #13 on:** February 19, 2006, 11:23:58 AM »

Ah, the Pool was $70,000 and I have since sold that house and bought up!

The Diablo went bye bye when I got married for obvious reasons.

Prize Money is going up and more shows are being added this year.

I am a long ways away from 185 DB Rows. $:-\$

Dont miss the Colorado Pro Am Classic in MAY!

Where's the photos of the new pad? Don't you still have a condo out here in Vegas? Quit B.Sing these guys, I know you can at least put 185 on the hammer row machine!!!LOL

ARMZ · « **Reply #15 on:** February 19, 2006, 01:50:31 PM »

The real question is.. How many pros would do the Ironman if the Arnold wasnt right after it? Hell why not, they are already in shape. Two birds one stone.. Just one more chance to qualify for the O.

alexxx · « **Reply #16 on:** February 19, 2006, 01:54:12 PM »

Thats all 185 waas your best.. $:-\$ no wonder you where so small mr.Ray! I do 150s and i am natural!

Sir William Idol · « **Reply #17 on:** February 19, 2006, 02:35:08 PM »

it was 185 barbell rows, not DB

Shawn Ray · « **Reply #18 on:** February 20, 2006, 08:29:03 AM »

Tell that to Labrada, Henry, Dexter, Alves, Charles, Samir, Dickerson and the rest of the boys who were All Giant Killers in their time.
Oh by the way, the judges never ask who can lift more.
Ever heard of Markus Rhul, Jean Pierre Fux, Nasser, Dillett, Quinn, Christian.....ask them how it felt when they got beat by me when they all are stronger than me.
You just got PUNK'd Alexxx!

It does not matter how much you can lift but your game plan that counts.
