Bear in mind though, that's likely not the majority of his earnings. He probably gets paid a STACK for advertising, product endorsements, photo shoots, interviews, personal appearances, seminars, guest posing etc etc etc. Also many pro-BBers have plenty of sideline business, such as supplement companies, and some are involved heavily in property.
It's kinda funny that you say "at a push earn $500K"... that's half a million bucks and it sounds like you don't consider that a lot of money!!!  |
First of all your probably right in what you say about the prize money but mines was a leed on from someone elses post so i didnt go and check their earnings, so i,ll give you that.;)
So lets go top whack and say he gets $200k, thats only £100-£150k our money, Not good for a guy at the top of his sport, who prepares all year for a nites work, and while were here there was no mention what so ever about sponsorship or endorsments so that wasnt taken into consideration, but seeing you brought it up how much do you think rooney will make on endorsments or Tiger woods, just to use someone out of football?, i,ll bet he earns more than $300k a year!
Mate im a bodybuilder all be it a beginner, im on their side and i think anyone could see that in my post, and now to your last point, i dont think $500k or £250-£300k is a lot of money, well for a pro at the top of their sport, its not, and its not just bodybuilding, lots of other lesser sportspeople should get more cash!
Now to me who earns about £20k a year hell yes its a sh1t load of money, but hey we werent talking about me were we?;)
