200 thousand for the winner of the mr.olympia?! that's pretty much laughable! name another "sporting competition" where the number 1 guy on the planet wins the biggest championship in it's sport and wins that low of a dollar amount?
badminton? table tennis? but the thing is THERE IS THE MONEY THERE TO GIVE TO THESE GUYS! that's the problem and sad part.
weider and the like are filthy filthy rich, but they only give up 200 thousand to their representative world champion?!
oh yeah, how is that benefits, retirement health care package coming along too? okay, off my soap box!
Yo homo!
There is plenty of sports where top gays earn less.
For example ridiculously popular ski jumping... that "sport" really is popular in Europe... sadly - it's more boring than anything.
You can't compare everything to world's most popular sports when it comes to earnings. There is no point to compare bodybuilding to NFL, NBA, soccer shit etc
