Sure your sponsors might cover alot of your costs, but you have to be a hell of a bodybuilder to get to that point anyway.
A UFC fighter at the top of his game gets paid up to 500,000+ per match (St. Pierre vs Pena, GSP got 500,000 and Pena got 150,000 even though he lost) with the median being anywhere between 100,000-300,00 for big fighters maybe more since I am not ballsdeep into UFC.
Winning Mr. Olympia you get 250,000, a hummer, and a rolex. Now think about how much money they spend on food/steroids/supplements etc.
