Tyler Manion Shares 2025 Pittsburgh Pro Updates

The 2025 Pittsburgh Pro is scheduled to be held in Pittsburgh, PA, on the weekend of May 10-11, 2025. This show is an annual event on the IFBB Professional League calendar and has been highlighted by a Men’s Open guest posing event featuring top Olympia contenders.

The 2025 event is being billed as the biggest version yet, with the addition of an expo and an IFBB Pro League Men’s Open contest as the main event. They also promoted that more prize money would be given to all divisions featured at this event.

On Jan. 3, 2025, IFBB Pro League Vice President Tyler Manion shared the most recent update on the prize money — awards for the Classic Physique division will total $50,000. The breakdown of the prize money will be as follows:

  • First Place — $25,0000
  • Second Place — $10,000
  • Third Place — $7,500
  • Fourth Place — $5,000
  • Fifth Place — $2,500

The Classic Physique announcement can be seen in the video below.

The prize money for the Classic Physique contest reflects previous updates regarding the Men’s Physique and Bikini divisions, which will receive the same awards for their top five. 

Manion previously revealed that the Men’s Open prize would be $200,000, with the winner receiving $100,000. That makes the Pittsburgh Pro the third show on the 2025 schedule to award a six-figure cash prize to its champion.

The 2024 Mr. Olympia promoters awarded $600,000 to its champion, Samson Dauda, and the 2025 Arnold Classic is set to award $500,000 to its winner on March 1, 2025, in Columbus, OH. The next highest prize money in 2024 was the New York Pro, which awarded $30,000 to Walker as its champion.

Competitors who will compete in the 2025 Pittsburgh Pro include 2021 Arnold Classic champion Nick Walker and 2024 Mr. Olympia fourth-place finisher Martin Fitzwater in the Men’s Open division, and two-time Arnold Classic Physique winner Terrence Ruffin for Classic Physique. Any active IFBB Pro League competitors are eligible to enter the competition, but rosters won’t be officially revealed until the week of the competition.
