Johnny Bravo Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 (edited) Fra Flex-Online.comOLYMPIA BONANZAAmerican Media Inc. (AMI) and The International Federation of Bodybuilders (IFBB), promoters of the 2005 Olympia Weekend, are proud to announce that prize money for the this year's event has been increased from $540,000 to $661,000. That represents a staggering 22% increase of $121,000. The purse for the Mr. Olympia contest has been raised by $101,000, Ms. Olympia by $10,000 and the Fitness and Figure events by $5,000 each. Comparisons to last year for each contest are shown in the attached charts. Another breakthrough is that all Mr. Olympia competitors will take home a check of at least $2,000. The prize money for men now stacks up to $500,000 — by far the richest purse in the sport. The 2005 Olympia Weekend prize money of $661,000 prize money compares to a combined $403,000 on offer at the second biggest contest of the year, The Arnold Schwarzenegger Classic (see accompanying chart for comparisons between these two biggest events on the calendar.) The overall $121,000 increase makes good on the promoter's promise to take the sport to ever higher levels and to continue investing in the athletes.

Flexipecs Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 Lækkert nok for deltagerne - men det er stadig temmelig surt at være kvinde i den sportsgren.15.000$ holder sgu ikke længe... DERFOR må de lave lidt mere af denne slags for at tjene deres penge - og heldigvis for det Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Den stiger hos mændene og kvinderne, tja, det ved vi vist alle.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Min første tanke var at grunden til at der pludselig kommer flere penge, er et modtræk til det nye forbund som der er ved at komme på benene. Et nyt forbund som efter sigende skulle have MANGE penge i præmier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
