2008 Arnold Classic Cash/Prizes Breakdown
The breakdown for the Arnold Classic competitions. As you can see, especially with the men, there is a HUGE difference between first and second. Tell us that the guys in the show aren’t secretly happy that they will all move up one place with Victor Martinez’s unfortunate injury.
Who will win the added 10k of “Best Poser”? Kai Greene, Melvin Anthony or someone else?

Why are there so few competitors in the Arnold as compared to the Ironman? I thought that the Arnold was the biggest IFBB show\Expo around.
The Arnold is by invite only. The field is limited to 15. The Expo is the biggest - the show in terms of number of competitors is not.
Am I misreading the figures in this post or is there a huge discrepancy between how much the men take home compared to the ladies’ paltry prize earnings?
On top of it, no bonus posing category for the ladies either?
