2023 Arnold Classic increases prize money to 300K
« on: January 12, 2023, 10:00:35 AM »
Fucking wide open 300k prize money for the open, Bumstead should just do it and win, he could beat Bonac, Clarida, even Sampson. Dudes like Ian, Hunter, Andrew Jacked should all be competing.

If Ronnie era quality was about, I'm sure Arnold would have put it up to bout tree fiddy. These competitors are clearly not worth that, though.

All the guys use to do a grueling Grand Prix tour after the Olympia (for little to no prize money ) nowadays these guys only want to compete once a year (I’m
Assuming because they make their money off of social media / don’t need to compete / don’t need prize money?) they don’t even really do “ guest posing “ anymore….. you are in shape anyways from the Olympia ….  Just hold it and do the Arnold! (The whole top 5 was invited and declined) …. Wtf man you’re a competitive bodybuilder…Compete!

I thought the same. It's as if they're not interested in the Arnold as such. I think Kai/Phil had a thing where Kai got pissed off and stopped with Olympia and only did Arnold and Phil didn't do Arnold after a while in his career? I may be mistaken. I think the same as Dorian - he didn't want to do Arnold Classic probably because Arnold used to slag him off as not being a good rep for bodybuilding so Dorian thought go fuck yourself.

Why? He makes too much money selling the BUM bullish to social media kids.  They still think his physique is attainable with his products just as Chris Jones sells his GAF products while juicing.

Win the Arnold and the O and earn pretty close to a mil.. They are far enough apart that leaking for both should not be a problem for a fckn “Pro”. Back when my dumbass competed I didn’t ever do less than 3 contests a season. Didn’t make sense for me to starve myself for one day!

Don't fret.  You'll just have to spend your $$$ elsewhere.

WOW, I saw this today on CNN but thought it was fake news. Unbeknownst to me, it's real because it was on Dave Palumbo's RX Muscle.

Question -

If Arnold raised the prized money past the Olympia, do you think it could out seat the Olympia as the top bodybuilding show or do you think the Olympia will always be the top show because of the name value?

BB, I'm not 100% sure about this but I bet that Arnold has previously agreed that any IFBB event which he promotes will not exceed the prize money that is awarded in the Olympia.

Can anyone list the prize money for each placing  within each  BB event that was awarded in the Olympia held here in Vegas this past month?
