Arnold Cuts Tie With Classic

Arnold Schwarzenegger has cut financial ties with the Arnold Classic. His spokesperson says he will continue to attend the event, but will no longer take an appearance fee. We'll have to wait and see how long that lasts. He was forced to give it up due to the supplements veto scandal.

One question that begs to be asked. Is the Arnold Classic big enough now that it doesn't need him to draw the crowds it does? I think so. Not many of the attendees actually get to see Arnold anyway. It could be a moot point in a couple of years if Arnold's poll numbers keep "Tafting."

The AC pumps about $75 million into the local economy.
