In any case, its not Lee Priest I'm after. Its the PDI and I wish for it to be flushed down the toilet. I will use whatever methods nessesary to accomplish that goal.
Lee Priest is the final person to throw off the PDI train and after he's put in his place, the train will be derailed and there will be no more of this b.s. The PDI hurts bodybuilders chances of making extra money because sponsors would have to pay for both organizations, it will dilute the already small fan base, and will ultimately cause overall revenues to fall.
I'd be interested in the economics behind your statement here, vince.
Why do you feel that many new bodybuilding shows in Europe would dilute the fanbase?
Why will giving sponsors/athletes/fans the ability to CHOOSE - and therefore exude greater bargaining power (resulting in better quality of service from both the IFBB and PDI) - hurt the sport?
I have no horse in this race, as I'm a web designer and I get prepaid. but from a business sense, two federations is nature's solution to the IFBB not paying these guys enough. Once they pay more, things will correct (orgs will unite or choose different niches).
