Good Promoters can get sponsors, no problem .. Ask Darren Sadler, Glen Ross, Colin Bryce, .. They have no trouble getting them.

Glenn must have A LOT of sponsors as from what I've been told, he looks after his qualified athletes very well (Opens, Juniors and Masters)

I could say your not listening to me couldnt i but i respect that everyone has and is entitled to have an opinion.
Poker is a sport just like strongman is, and yes there's the run of cards for any particular day but ultimately over time it's no different. If you work hard enough and are good enough you will earn money, if not, you won't.

I know there's sponsors involved Mark but there's still no prize money. I'm trying from a different angle.

Fishing does indeed work the same way, you pay your entry and it forms a prize pool.

I cant believe everyone has took you serious and are commenting
There is no chance of this happening
You can barely organise your own thoughts nevermind a comp
Id rather trust a crackhead with 200 quid than you

I know others may not share the same mentality, but I tend to enter comps for the experience and to enjoy myself. Perhaps that's just novice level thinking though.
This sort of competition series screams sponsorship. I find it hard to believe anyone would fork out £250 of their own money to enter.
Again, sponsorship. I think the only ones who can make a benefit from this sort of series would be guys like big supps companies or sports equipment manufacturers. Even then, the main winner will be the company that sponsored 1st place, though lower placings would still gain some coverage.
I wish you luck, Paul, but I think you need to look at bigger companies rather than the individuals.

Ahhh, missed that bit about notifying a year in advance.
I still think people have made a lot of valid points, especially when you're trying to compare strongman with a competitor base of a couple of hundred to an activity like poker in which 10,000's participate.

Paul, there are so many holes in your plan and subsequent defence of it that I'm starting to question whether you mean what you say or if this is a joke on us.
These guys aren't raising these points to spite you, they believe them. They're trying to help you.

Yes but why would people choose to do strongman if they could be a world champion and lose money? Would it worth the effort of training there heart out everyday and doing the 9-5 on top? Why not just do another sport they can make a career out of? There is a lot of people in the uk that train strength and conditioning. Gyms are packed to the brim these days.
