Bob Richards Booking Agency Profile

Book Bob Richards for your next corporate event, function, or private party.
Bob Richards was the second man to vault 15 feet and, like the first man over this height, Cornelius Dutch Warmerdam, he dominated the event for a number of years. Richards is the only man in history to win two Olympic gold medals in the pole vault, these came after an Olympic bronze in 1948. Unlike many champions in this event, he was not an outstanding collegiate athlete, and while at Illinois, his best placing at the NCAA meet came in 1947 when he was in a six-way tie for first. However, he went on to win the AAU title a record nine times and won eight AAU indoor crowns. He was also Pan American Games champion in 1951 and 1955. Richards was also a top decathlete, winning the AAU title three times and the All-Around Championship once. In the 1955 Pan American Games Decathlon he won the silver medal. In 1956 he made the Olympic team in the decathlon but, hampered by an injury, did not finish. Richards later became a familiar face on TV. Bob was the first athlete to be featured on the front of the Wheaties cereal boxes and was also the first Wheaties spokesman. .

Frequently Asked Questions about booking Bob Richards to appear or speak.

Will Bob Richards do a virtual event?
Many performers, actors, speakers and other talent like Bob Richards in certain cases will consider virtual appearances via live streaming. They perhaps may accept lower fees too. If you are seriously interested in booking Bob Richards or other talent shown on our site, we will research their desire and the specific fee for your live-streaming event or project request.
Is Bob Richards available to work my event?
Bob Richards's current work schedule and location in relation to your event's type, date, budget, and locality will play a primary factor in the acceptance of booking Bob Richards for your party. As long as your funding is commensurate with the price range to book Bob Richards, CTI will propose your event to the official agency representing Bob Richards. After we consult with them, we will provide a personal and accurate quote that includes: final costs, availability, and actual interest in being hired for your specific event or party.
How much is Bob Richards charging for events?
CTI can give you the accurate Bob Richards booking price once we submit your event details to their camp. "How much does it cost to book Bob Richards for an event?" is a frequent question we get. The final Bob Richards booking price is contingent on many variables and the booking fee we may show is based on a range derived from our past experience with what will Bob Richards charge for an event. An example fee to book Bob Richards is in the starting range of $25,000-$39,999. However, any recent popularity change would cause a price fluctuation well beyond this example. Also, their speaking fee might be different than the fee shown for the cost to perform or to just appear. Popularity, career stage, along with current demand will cause fluctuations in their speaking price as well. The final booking price may be more than what is shown, but you should at least have a budget within that range for them to consider an appearance, performance or speaking engagement.
How do I contact the Bob Richards agent or manager?
CTI negotiates on behalf of professional event planners and talent buyers for paid appearances! We cannot give out direct contact information of the Bob Richards agent or help distribute fan mail, personal messages, gifts, requests for free appearances, or donations of time. The Bob Richards manager and agent will only work with us if we present them with funded offers for their client to work your event.
Can I book Bob Richards for an event at a price less than shown?
There is low probability to book Bob Richards for a party with anything substantially less than the published booking cost price range. We will negotiate with the Bob Richards agent on your behalf if your funding is in place. By not having funding ready then it will more difficult to book Bob Richards, because they get many offers to work events that are at or above asking price. It is also important to consider the travel costs when researching the Bob Richards booking fee, as additional expenses like this, as well as an entourage of staff and equipment, are not necessarily built-in to the booking fee range shown. If your budget does not factor that in, then there is no benefit for them to want to be hired. We do not personally speak for Bob Richards, but in our experience in booking talent for over 25 years, this is generally the outcome of inadequate funding.
