The winner in Men’s Open will receive $140,000 this year at the Dubai Pro!
The IFBB Pro League has been making it a point to increasing prize money in certain events. On Thursday, the total prize pools for the 2025 Dubai Pro were announced, including $140,000 to the winner in Men’s Open.
The Dubai Pro will take place from June 20-22 with four Men’s divisions taking the stage for the event. This is one of the top shows of the year where many elite competitors take the stage. Last season, Behrooz Tabani was victorious.
Tabani was victorious during the 2024 Flex Weekend Pro, earning a spot in the biggest show of the year. He went head-to-head with William Bonac and Nathan De Asha once again in Dubai and was victorious once again. Tabani also made an immediate impact with a runner-up finish behind Bonac during the Empro Pro.
This year’s winner will take home a large prize in each division.

In February 2024, IFBB Pro League Vice President Tyler Manion took to Instagram to share a new partnership with MIT45 and Uprising Extracts. Due to this new partnership, the league will be able to raise the minimum prize money across 21 bodybuilding shows by $10,000. This is a total of $210,000 across the bodybuilding season that will be added into the prize money fund.
Manion continued to explain how the money will be divided. The minimum first-place prize will go from $10,000 to $15,000 while second-place winners will get $9,000, which is a big jump from $4,000.
The idea of improving the prize money for bodybuilders across the board is something that has been discussed at length in the past. It has been brought up by competitors, present and former, and this is a move to help reach this goal.
The 2025 Dubai Pro is bound to be an exciting show that will feature many top names fighting for the ultimate prize.
