Didn't realise how little female competitors get paid. It's unbelievable.

As much as i respect women bodybuilders, there is just no marketability for them.
If they don't produce money, how can they expect money.

That is exactly on point, I don't think any females are really into it for the money anyway, but we all like to get paid for doing what we love...

They got Bryant Gumbel to say "bigorexia" rofl.

That aside, the whole piece stinks of sexism.

Its something that has always bothered me for years. These ladies get little compensation for what they do. Their expenses are probably 3x or more whatever the prize is in most cases.

Even most of the male bodybuilders get shit (especially if you subtract the amounts of steroids and GH which have to be paid).

Compared to other sports, no one is interested in bodybuilding. You can make more money with chess.
