40k for first, what a joke…
Only 40k.
$40k for flex? That’s it? Fucking Jew bags. What joke, the whole sport is a complete joke. Raymond deserved a better placing.
When was the last time you guys made $40,000 for two nights work?
A year’s work!
Its 7 months work leading up to it..food suplements etc..cost a lot..these suplement companies make 40k in 30 seconds
But he gets paid for being on stage he was on stage two nights
It’s not 2 nights work, its years of hard work and dedication
My point is he got paid for that weekend, the Mr Olympia don’t get paid for their workouts at the gym or the diet, they get paid for how they look the day of the show
Haha it’s WAYYY more than two nights of work.
Some of you still don’t get my point! he only got paid for two nights, they don’t pay the Olympians time that they spent in the gym or the diet, they only pay them for their performance on the stage, I can’t get no clearer than that
I will never stay awake to watch an olympia again .
Phil doesn’t dereve this win
The real dream killers are the fucking judges
But Flex did,he is the real overall Olympia champion, in my opinion
Wtf…. so much diff, i know thy dnt do it for the money much respect, but i know lewis would if cmes in to the open category its easy top5
What a fucking joke $40k
Undisputed champ
He should step up to the open if he was bothered about the money. He’d def place well.. shame. Winning 212s will never the same as winning the open. Not even close. But winning gives him good sponsors etc.
crazy thing is, despite his height he could easily step up against them at a insanely conditioned 245-250.
Mark Davis 100 per cent. Imo it’s a cop out. He’d def challenge top 3 in the open the way things are. But chooses 212 for the win. No one gives a crap about 212 in reality. His choice. He looks better than most of the open guys in every department..
Flex was so soft looking compared to #2. Where was the roadmap of veins that comes with the perfect conditioning? #2 had it, and everything else. Politics as usual.
You aren’t kidding Ahmad got totally robbed
He looked Amazing. His conditioning was so on point.
Some say, “not bad pay for 2 nights work.” Which actually isn’t right. That’s $40k for years worth of work. And specifically the last year. Training day in and day out. The insane grind and dieting these guys do. Dragging yourself into the gym when you just want to stay home. Getting those last reps in when you’re gas tank is empty. Just like a fighter, the work is in the preparation. $40k isn’t much at all. Time for Olympia to step up the 212 payouts.
That was my first thought…but these guys will say it’s not about the money (on record) but a higher pay day wouldn’t hurt. 10% of the big boys is garbage?
It’s 100% a job. Especially for the pros. Yeah, there’s a few of those guys that work regular jobs. But, the top guys make their living from #1- winnings, and #2- Sponsorships and appearances.
MASSIVE difference between $400,000, and $40,000! Which is a bit crazy to me. Because they all not only hit the same stage, they all face the same fitness challenges. BUT, the 212 guys also have the added stress of making weight!
Plus, we need to remember that they have to pay taxes on that $40k. Plus, a percentage goes to their coaches and trainers.
They make more money off of endorsements
I recommend cycle for muscle gain bulking cycle cutting and fat burn send me a friend request if u are interested.
Why is there such a big difference in price money between the open class and 212 division?
The 212 guys work equally as hard as the guys competing in the open class, so why the difference in price money?
Rodney Burnett you see this 40,000 prize money??
Bit shocked at how crap the prize money is in this class they deserve more in my opinion
At least give them $100k. $40k is garbage!
Don’t know about anyone else but i think the $40k for the winner of the 212 is a insult considering Mr Olympia gets 400k …id bet his food bill is more than that ….
