[nice6pac]

how much do pros make imean wiht the risk they take it doenslt seem liek a good deal i doubt they make more than a good lawyer what do you guys think?

 

[havoc]

I'm sure every pro has a different income. For most , it's nothing special. peace

They make some good money nothing compared to other athletes and some of those cycles aren't worth sucking dick for.

Depends.... back when the sport was not as high profile and lucrative as it is today... Shawn Ray still had every kind of Benz and Ferrari you can imagine. This was before contracts, high $$$ endorsements, etc... Fast Forward today... now take a look at Ronnie Coleman, got some nice cars.. not on par with Ray, and he lives in a small narrow townhouse style home. Mr. Olympia living like that?

top guys get paid. Cutler just built a nice size home in Nevada.

with kamali talking about craig titus gay jap porn, and still other rumors about male prostitution, id say youd be better off being a juice hookup for the pros than a pro themselves.

Since when are these guys athletes?

Only those on the top make the big money! They all have to spend minimum $100,000 per year just for gear, hg, In, etc., not to mention all the other expenses such as travel, supps, food, tan, synthol, fees and operations for injuries, implants and ailments related to going too hardcore, if they are not sponsored! Many of the top bodybuilders have fallen financially and have ended up doing Gear Selling, "Gay Muscle Porn", Prostitution or have to find a "Sugar Daddy! Unless you have "Brains" and can use your status well in the field or other endeavors only the Top BB's make it out financially secure!

I consider BB a sport anyone who competes in a sport is an athlete.

Is a golf player an athlete? How about a nascar driver?

The word sport and athlete go together, I consider anyone who competes in a sport to be an athlete.

A BODYBUILDER DON'T GET PAID SQUAT! IF YOU WANT TO GET PAID AND HAVE A GOOD BODY AS WELL BECOME A MODEL OR STRIPPER.

I respect your opinion, but IMHO, no...bodybuilding is not a sport. Golf is not a sport and Nascar is definitely not a sport. IMO, to be a sport it must require athletic ability to excel. Golf requires good hand-eye coordination, but not pure athletic ability, i.e. speed, strength, quickness, vertical leap, etc. Nascar may be difficult, but does not require athletic ability. Bodybuilding is not an easy thing to accomplish, but does not require you to be an athlete. What other sport dictates success on how many steroids someone is willing to pump into their bodies? I'm not saying that some athletes do not use steroids, but it is not a must to achieve great success. No pro bodybuilders today can achieve great success without using steroids. I'm not saying that some bodybuilders aren't athletes, just that it isn't a neccessity to being a bodybuilder.

That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
