Congrats to Dave, but this was basically a bunch of no-namers versus a professional eater. So similar to the contests that Raina always participates in / arranges.

What a joke. Brunelli is a fraudulent eater. No pros allowed
Did Frankie Fraud make a deal to get him in again? This event will never be taken seriously:
Losers and liars
Hookers and blow
Prestigious

If you can’t sustain a living with eating like joey and a few other eaters then you are not a pro.

In professional sports, as opposed to amateur sports, participants receive payment for their performance.

According to the EatFeats database, he’s won over $80,000. Amateur my ass. And I wonder if the IRS knows about this.

@1053 pm— by that definition there are only a handful of professional eaters to have ever walked earth. nobody else else on the competitive Eating scene makes the amount of sponsorship income that Joey does. the other people that make a living off of “Eating” careers are doing it via social media. This includes JWebb, Reina, Joel, Leah, beard and Randy.

Brunelli has entered contests under fake names and in costume
Doesn’t surprise me
Not a guy I’d do business with

Frankie Fraud sets all of the talentless baddies up for the show. The huge titties on the one was impressive and a little much. I bet not a lot of eating was done.

@127 that’s exactly my point. How are people gonna say he’s a professional when eating isn’t even a legitimate sport. Some people just want to cry about everyone on this site it’s hilarious ????

Because nobody else would show up probably…
They want to keep it amateur because the organizers are all buddy-buddy with the Philly area “eaters” that attend…

Brunelli has been paid

@844 list the times he’s been paid thankyou. When he was a professional boxer he got paid win or lose. Key word professional as being his sole income and being able to make a living off his profession.

5:36 you’re stupid. That means only people like Joey are pros. I don’t think there are any other people in the United States that can be called a pro. They all work. That also means beard is more of a pro than any other person in MLE.

Wanted to bring this info to the this thread .This contest is a local contest . Dan Kennedy was in this contest until it was discovered he did not reside in the local area. One of this contest biggest sell’s is that it is a PHILLY thing. There have been many eaters over the years that participated in this contest that have traveled and won money in contest.

@954 lol yeah you dunce that’s exactly what I’m saying. That only people like joey can be a pro because only people like joey can actually live off of eating. And no Beard is no pro because he’s a social media star. Eating isn’t a pro sport that’s why you can’t really consider people pros. Then you want to cry about people being pros lol. Let.me try to make it real clear since intelligence is lacking with you. If you can’t live off of winning contest or appearance fees then you’re not a pro! Make earing an actual sport and pay people properly then surewe can consider people pros!

7:20 if you don’t like what Brunelli does you could put on the gloves and get into the ring with him after all he is a legit ex heavyweight professional boxer.
