This should have happened a very long time ago. I'm very happy to see that it is now.

Mr Olympia gets 160000 dollars. Ms Olympia gets 30000. This is the biggest pile of bullpoop ever. Shame on the IFBB. :angryfire :mad: :fitz: :finger:

I heard about this, but let's not lose sight of the fact that women's tennis is a much more interesting sport than men's tennis at this point in history (and has been for a number of years now).

Although publicly supporting the increase, the sexist sports media have already put their barbed-wire spin on it - "The increase in prize money will cost the All-England Club $1.1 million this year."

"Will cost"?? WTF???
