Initially I would think the bodybuilder. But then I start to think the 1st place prize for most competitions is like what 25 grand? I know the muscletech deal is probably pretty lucrative, but idk. What do you guys think?

i mean he's got a lot of endorsement deals. I've seen Toney Freeman's house. Top level pro bodybuilders don't do too bad for themselves.
no I haven't seen any of the documentaries of the new pros. I wanted to get the Phil Heath one. I truly claim ignorance as to the lifestyle of these pros. I guess I just assumed they were millionaires. That's definately interesting though. Makes me kind of respect the sport even more.
Pro footballers make shit tons of money. No comparison. What the bodybuilder makes per year is chump change to the QB.
Chicago Jay Cutler signed in 09' for 49 million and change for 5 years. 20 million guaranteed money and 7 million signing bonus. After the first 2 years of contract he will make around 7 million a year. Plus league bonuses for playoff appearances and playoff wins. Not bad for the most hated QB in the league
not bad at all, unfortunately no matter how much money he has he will always be a dickhead, and he really is not that great of a QB IMO, I was so happy when he left, even his team members didn't like him.

As much as I hate jay cutler right for bailing because of a strain, I saw a story yesterday about some poll in Denver had 79% of people rooting for the Bears/Cutler.
Seriously... In Chicago where we watched Jordan practically collapse from the flu into Scottie Pippens arms after having a great game, having our "star" qb sit out the second half of a championship game because of a strain is sickening.

The football player makes more, but the body builder deserves more in my opinion. Jay the bodybuilder is still not too bad off though. Around a million a year is not bad for anybody.
bodybuilding is still considered more of a recreational sport to the masses while professional sports such as the NFL, NBA, NHL, etc. are all big businesses now, they are all billion dollar industries. The total salary of the NFL for 2009 was like 40% of the GDP of Haiti. many still consider is as just another form of exercise. personally I think it's one of the most complex sports as an individual can spend an entire lifetime in the sport and never really make any substantial gains.
most of my friends from college that went pro are out now but one of them Rob Davis from the Packers is in management now but I know in 2008 he was pulling in around 800k as a long distance snapper with 10 + years in the NFL.
another one Jerry Ostroski when I got of of the Navy in '94 there were paying him like $300k/year just to ride the pine on the Bills then. a couple of years later he was pulling in 2.5-3M with salary and bonuses.
