MOLNAR looks HUMONGOUS in the few photos I've seen of him and I understand that he is very popular in these world-wise BB Expos, so I have to assume that he is making big bucks.
Does anyone have any idea what the supp companies are paying the top notch bodybuilders such as James FLEX Lewis and other top pros?
I've heard that FLEX pulls in over $100,000 a year but I have no idea how accurate that figure is.
Anyone have accurate figures for todays top contendas?
When I was in the promotion business, you could figure paying $2,000 for a guest poser if the show required one. I think it was Mr Ferrigno who demanded $5,000 for Lou's appearance but we simply passed on that one.
A few calls to Uncle JOE got us a deal in which he'd pick up the tab if we put the IFBB logo on all advertising material.
That worked well and actually cost him nothing due to the fact that the guys who were under contract were obligated and they were always happy to do so.
If I recall correctly, those who had Weider contracts received about $45,000 a year tops .... but there are still people out there who may have more accurate info in that regards.
