Many people have asked if the Arnold Classic is the highest prize money contest available to the IFBB pro competitors. Since 2006, the Olympia has held that record, with $725,000 in prize money for all 4 contests, and $546,000 just to the pro men competitors. We are assuming that the 2008 Olympia Weekend will have approximately the same breakdown as 2007, so for those who have asked, here is the breakdown from 2007. The official breakdown should come in a few months.
