I couldn’t agree more with the differential in contest earnings. You may want to consider Paul Dillett’s newest offering….the WBFF. Female Figure and Model competitors will be competing for a $15,000 mink coat, the cover of Status Fitness Magazine and Bob Kennedy will be front and center shooting for the mags. You can check them out at www.wbffshows.com

Any difference in prize money is unfair, the women should be paid the same.
WHo wants a dead mink coat, let the winners buy what they want.

The difference in prize money is because, millions of women ARE NOT buying bodybuilding suppelments. Figure and fitness women have alot bigger market in modeling, than these men do. Women have a bigger market in modeling, and men have a bigger market in the bodybuilding side. That’s bussiness!!
