Johnnie Blockburger prize money
Johnnie Blockburger has been paid $2,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 2742nd of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from one paid finish in the men's 400 m, and it was 6th.
The Diamond League pays by finishing place and nothing else. A published card sets what first through eighth is worth, the same figure in every discipline at that meeting, and ninth pays nothing.
The payment
Where he finished, and what the card paid for it
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Meeting International Mohammed VI d'Athlétisme de Rabat 2025 | 400 m | 6th | $2,000 |
The one paid figure add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $2,000 is one separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.00% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them.

| Mixed 4 × 400 metres relay | 1st | 3:09.54 | $40,000 |
The World Relays have paid $40,000 for the one team Johnnie Blockburger ran on in Guangzhou 2025, and all of it went to the United States rather than to the four who ran. The $2,000 at the top of this page is what the Diamond League paid him. This is what World Athletics paid a country, and the two are not added together anywhere on the site. He was on the winning team once, which pays $40,000 against $20,000 for second. He ran alongside Chris Robinson, Courtney Okolo and Lynna Irby-Jackson, and the Diamond League has paid every one of them too. The World Relays page holds all 12 finals across two championships and the $1,067,000 they paid out.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Johnnie Blockburger won?
$2,000, which ranks 2742nd of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from one paid finish in 2025.
What is Johnnie Blockburger's biggest Diamond League payday?
$2,000, for finishing 6th in the 400 m at the 2025 Meeting International Mohammed VI d'Athlétisme de Rabat. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 6th and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Johnnie Blockburger gets paid?
Entirely by where he finishes. The series publishes one rate card a season and applies it to every discipline at every meeting, so a place is worth the same in the men's 400 m as it is in the shot put on the same afternoon. Eight places are paid and ninth pays nothing. There is no bonus for a record and no share of a gate.
What did Johnnie Blockburger's World Relays teams win?
$40,000, across one paid final in Guangzhou 2025. The relays pay a team rather than a runner, so the cheque goes to the federation and not to Johnnie Blockburger or to any one of the four. A title pays $40,000 and the ladder reaches all eight teams in a final, down to $2,000 for 8th.
Is this everything Johnnie Blockburger earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 224 meetings. The World Relays money above is separate money from a separate payer, and none of it is added together here. It holds no national federation payment, no appearance fee and no sponsorship. What it does hold is every dollar the series itself paid him, priced off the card it published.
