does arnold classic have bigger prize money than mr O.?

[the shadow]

according to the arnoldclassic.com,the first prize winner gets $100,000 in cash prize,a hummer and a $20,000 gold rolex watch...and on the other hand
mr olympia winner gets $120,000 in cash prize.thats it.now ofcourse its $150,000 but still i think if u include how much a hummer cost and the price of the rolex,i think the arnold classic winner gets the bigger prize.don't ya all think so?

I always thought that the O gave away a car also.

They need to make a rule that the top 5 guys have to compete in at least 2 shows per year. I don't see how you can advance the "sport" if you the top guy(s) only appear once per year.

It is a disservice that Jay and Ronnie don't compete more often through out the year.

Well I guess that counts you out 

So a free T-Shirt a fling with me is equal to $150,000.  That must be a hell of a T-Shirt

 The IFBB precludes any contest from having more prize money than the O.

The bigger prizes are paid under the table so that the PTB won't look like greedy schmoes.

2nd place and on down make more money in the O, the payout is much larger at the O.  First place makes more at the Arnold, but in the long run the winner of the O will make more money after his win.

Contractually, the ASC can't give away more $ than the O.

It's by far a better show, though.
