that is not good... there is almost no money in BB promotion... he paid to much, they are going to raise ticket prices, less people will go ... next thing you know they are closed ..

Arnold makes money ....but that is because year after year he made none.. he just promoted the crap out of it until it was a force on it's own.

these small shows.... they barely break even.

I over heard a conversation from a promoter...he said he lost money on BB... but it was his passion...
judges hotels, venue ..he said he was lucky if it was a wash. that was with a dozen sponsors ( last year they had a doughnut shop on the list Believe it or not )

He made money on the weightlifting contest on a shoe string budget.
