[Luschient]

Lol at the cops!

Getting arrested at a hot dog eating contest!

 

[FTF]

[Subitai]

Megatoad

 

[EnlightenedMint]

Stonie doesn't have the pace today

 

[FTF]

And yeah this is so disgusting to watch, please stop zooming in.

 

[Jarrod38]

Simone is going to die one of these days.

 

[Deku Tree]

What is kobayashi beef with MLE?

 

[white dynamite]

Cincotti is eating out of his mind right now.

 

[Sanjuro]

Cincotti keeping a good pace though.

 

[Subitai]

Their jaw muscles must screaming

 

[firebricks3]

[jbug617]

[DogDude]

I bet the under at 71.5. He didn't come close to getting those last ones. RIGGED

 

[Subitai]

Well done Joey! That is always entertaining.

 

[Jarrod38]

bruh ate 72 hot dogs

Kim Jong Un ate 100 hot dogs.

 

[Luschient]

Imagine the backstage area after this is over.

 

[illmatic22]

Nasty ass competition

 

[Undefined]

damn stoni got owned

 

[Wag]

 

[Alex_Mexico]

Wait so espn doesn't even broadcast the women's contest on any of its like 8 tv channels and relegates it to their app? What better thing do they have to pay attention to at 11am in a holiday than that? I would watch it!

 

[hitme]

Big Match Joey does it again!

 

[JeffZero]

All I can ever think about is the bodily discomfort that must surely follow. And I'm not a crude humor kind of guy, so I don't even get to laugh. I just wince.

Nathan's is the first frank I ever ate though! I was like three years old and it was a Nathan's restaurant in Co-Op City.

 

[vatstep]

Phil Kessel still holds the unofficial world record at 352 dogs

 

[BigAT]

I really want to see him just suddenly yack on the interviewer uncontrollably.

I think you have to sign over some of your rights as a competitor to them.

 

[BadAss2961]

Eats 72 dogs

Upset with performance

 

[white dynamite]

When it's all said and done, Joe might go down as the winningest athlete of all time.

Athlete?

 

[Sanjuro]

Athlete?

Yeah, that's what they are generally referred to as.

 

[Alex_Mexico]

What's the prize for the champion?

 

[redmetal86]

Bah, I slept through it all. Probably shouldn't bother with the replay since I already know Joey Cena won, but whatever.
Even less reason now since it's on Youtube.

 

[white dynamite]

What's the prize for the champion?

The winner receives the infamous Nathan's Famous mustard-yellow belt and the title of world hot dog eating champion of 2017.

Also $10,000.

You have to be exclusive to MLE (or at least did at the time), which is absolutely stupid since they pay nothing, especially compared to the eating "circuits" in Japan.

Stonie probably makes more from YouTube than the top 3 "athletes" do from MLE.

Oh yeah I found this too http://bleacherreport.com/articles/...wers-the-big-question-is-a-hot-dog-a-sandwich

It's a shame that arguably the best competitive eater isn't allowed to compete.

 

[Mariolee]

I watched this for the first time with my dad and was a little disgusted but incredibly impressed. Dude looks so sick afterwards my goodness.

That's a pathetic prize. Like others have said professional eaters earn more vía YouTube! And take into consideration this is was the MLE Super Bowl of the year. It all goes downhill from here until July 4th 2018.

Seriously. For the landmark event it's really nothing. Chestnut apparently made about $200,000 in 2010 from consistently dominating competitions. Unless you're the cream of the crop for this sport like Chestnut and Stony, it's not feasible to turn this into something more than a weird hobby that you brag to your friends about.

I haven't seen this many weiners being gobbled since that weekend on Fire Island.
