The Arnold Classic has quickly become one of the top competitions in the bodybuilding realm since its establishment in 1989, being rivaled by only one other boybuilding show, Mr. Olympia. The Classic is an event under a larger umbrella housing a variety of sports competitions collectively referred to as the Arnold Sports Festival.
With this year’s edition of the Arnold Classic set to take place from March 2 to 4 in Columbus, Ohio, the organization has released a statement that will see a huge prize money bump. On January 12, the management team announced that the Men’s Open prize money has been increased from $200,000 to $300,000 for this year.
