Serious question guys it's been bugging me for ages .....

Anyone know how the lower tier Pro's can afford to get ready for competitions ?

I'm talking about the guys that don't have endorsements, appearance fees, magazine shoots and the like.

Bob Chic and others often mention it costing several thousand dollars not to mention travel, accomadation, meals that they don't always seem to get reimbursed for.

I assume the top tier pros with sponsors dont need any other job (Coleman & Cutler) although Coleman does have another job so I guess Cutler and some others would be the best examples.

others make good money off other things. Example is Lee Priests makes a good share of money from his racing. As said before some do person training. I remember Craig Titus was a personal trainer for a few celebrities.

I think a top bb without sponsorship makes money:
A) Selling his body
B) Making illegal bets
C) Both of them
