The IronMan purse?
« on: February 21, 2006, 08:32:22 AM »
Is the IronMan still just $10,000?  If so, bragging rights or not, would you compete for that?

That's still pretty pathetic.  :'(

If it is $15K how much does one get for second and third place?

Now, that's more like it!  :D

I guess I had the $10K figure in my head from the 90s.  I remember when Flex W. was winning this show and it was always $10K.

The purse at the Ironman has always been a joke.   It has pretty much stayed the same since its inception in the 80s.  So with inflation it has decreaed substantially.

To me hitting a homerun is a hell of a lot easier than building a pro bodybuilder physique.  How many homeruns are hit a year in the world. Too many for me to buy a ticket.
