Prize Money ?¿ Wtf!

The winner got 20,000 U.S only is that correct?

how does that compare to the ironman or san fran?

I wonder what the other places recieved... Peanuts?

I wish they could get more...

IMO .. BBing's prices money are the lowest prices compare to other sports

try getting sponsers for a sport which odviously advocates the use of anabolic steroids and other performance enhancing drugs which are frowned upon in society...

Especially so given how much BBer's spend in terms of time and money... TheAnimal's got a really good point though, so, the image of BBing needs to change

The prizes are si so small because it's not an olympic sport and because it's not so popular (popular as in football way...60.000 - 70.000 ppl cheering in a huge stadium) In order for a sport to have big prizes it has to fulfill on of those conditions. No matter what ppl think about steroids or other performance enhancing drugs, if there where enough fans...there would be big names sponsoring the events and athletes...IMHO of course

$20,000 for first place? I highly doubt that they even got that much mate.

Thats why Pro bodybuilders are skint broke all the time, not enough money, nowhere near enough.

They should get the steroid companies to sponsor them.

how bad would the pay be in places like here in aust, no one knows nething bout training properly let alone body buiilding, u see guys doing 5 kilo shrugs and acting and breathing like they ve jsut had an intense session, sorry bout my whinging but yeah, i m jsut saying it will be tough to make bbing more popular amongst average ppl.
