Don’t Tell Arnold What to Do with His Money

[Prince]

Let’s cut the fluff and get right to it. I respect 8x Olympia champ Lenda Murray, but when you’re associated with the Olympia and make comments about the Arnold Classic, you have to consider anything that comes out of her mouth as being somewhat biased.

Of course, she’s going to try to put down the Arnold Classic when she works with Wings of Strength. But the fact of the matter is, she’s a hypocrite. You can’t complain about a difference in prize money when the Olympia is no different, and even in her own show, there is a drastic difference in prize money.

So, either put up or shut up. Put your money where your mouth is and stop being a hypocrite. She even has more women’s divisions in her show than men’s divisions.

But if you’re reading this and have no idea what’s going on, here’s a quick summary to get you up to speed: Arnold Schwarzenegger recently increased the prize money at the Arnold Classic. Across the board. Every division got a bump.

I think many people forget...and at the risk of sounding sexist (I'm not)...if there wasn't a men's professional competition there wouldn't be a women's professional competition either.
The prize money is almost pathetic anyway. Listen to the competitors, men and women, about how much it cost them to get to the competition stage and how much they won if they did win and they all lose money. The best they can hope for is a sponsorship and contract deals and still they don't really make that much.
