Anyone getting rid of their booths due to tough times? Who all is going to be there?
-
No question that we are in a tough time, but there will be a lot of vendors who will be there, including these, just what I can think of...
Muscletech
BSN (with 12 Calendar girls)
CytoSport (Muscle Milk)
Optimum / American Body Building
Gaspari
Nutrex
Pro Fight Supplements
ALRI
Universal Nutrition
Champion Nutrition
MRI
GNC
Ergopharm
ISS Research
Labrada
MHP
Nutabolics
Dymatize
SAN
EFX
Prolab
Twinlab
VPX
Vyotech
Met-Rx
IDS
EAS
Bodybuilding.com
and about 600 other booths too. There are MMA booths, protein bar booths, clothing booths and so much more.
-
from what I have heard many vendors that bought a single space, I believe it is 10 x 10 were upgraded to 2 slots for the same price to fill up the expo floor.
-
Thanks for the intel Ron and Beast.

That is interesting, but so far, most of the companies that I know will be there with a booth of some sort. Some are smaller than last year, some are the same size.
I think many supplement companies use this show and the Olympia is a place to showcase new products, and meet accounts and distributors also.
There is also another huge show going on here in California (Anaheim) on the same weekend, which is called the Natural Expo show (mainly featuring 2,500 booths of which products go into stores like Whole Foods, Trader Joes, etc, and less on sports nutrition).

Any idea which MMA companies will be represented at the Classic Ron?

I am not sure, but I will perhaps get a list this year on which MMA companies are exhibiting. I know that Frank Mir will be at Nutrabolics, and Brock Lesnar is supposed to be at Dymatize. Last year, I think there was a UFC booth with a number of fighters there, and also various magazines from the MMA world, as well as Powerlifting booths.

With the current economic climate will they be charging for the Free stuff??

With the current economic climate will they be charging for the Free stuff??
They'll probably cut back on the some of the free stuff and offer alternatives like RTDs for a dollar and things of that sort. The free stuff is less and less every year. I remember the massive amount of free shaker bottles and tshirts I got the first year I went, now you have to buy most of that stuff.
-
Yes Very True not much free stuff these days.At least it's cheap to get into the show.
-

I think if you go to a booth and you are seriously interested in those items, you can get samples.
What I find funny is watching people who never heard of the stuff come up to a table and try and shove as many samples as they can into their bag.
Vendors are there to show interested people their new products, existing items and more. Yes, try some samples, and take one if you want it, but when I worked a booth, I was amazed at some people.
A half hour before closing time, one guy came up to me, and started putting packets of stuff into his bag. I go, what are you doing, take ONE... and he actually said.. ah your closing, I am trying to help you so you don't have to take the samples back with you.
Certain products are not for certain people.
-
GREED is good. Look at this way Ron. Maybe some of these people live on the Streets and a free feed never hurt anyone. But I hear what your saying.
-
Lorimer said they're on pace to do better than last year. Expo very strong.
-
Any idea which MMA companies will be represented at the Classic Ron?
Fight Chix...a clothing company based out of Illinois will be there
-
I wonder if Hugepecs will team up with blockhead to confront Derek Anthony
-
i'll be there.
-
you going to say hi to me Mars
-
The Cage from Universal Nutrition/AnimalPak actually is bigger, and has much more lifting events than last year! Average Joe guys are squaring off with the Pros in many different lifts...Deadlift 405 for reps, squating 405 for reps, bench and curl your body weigth for reps....Make sure you stop by The Cage...The theme this year is....BlackOut!
-
Ergopharm has a 20x40 booth, and will feature a few competitors, including
NPC competitor Robert Hatch, Figure Pro Rachel Cammon, Figure Pro Amy O'Neil, and Figure Pro Alicia Harris, as well as of course, the legendary Patrick Arnold....
-
Will Caliber Fitness be set-up in a Porta-potty in the parking lot?
-
Lol, that Labrada girl will there. you know the one who dumped "B.S.A." for that middle wt. dude.
-
Yes, Nicole is usually at the Labrada booth, along with a myriad of other people, including Lee Labrada himself.
Allmax is another company that will be there...
Toronto, Canada, February 26, 2009 --(PR.com)-- ALLMAX Nutrition is pleased to announce the newest member of Team ALLMAX; IFBB Pro Troy Brown. Troy has an extremely impressive competitive history; which includes placing first heavyweight and overall champion for heavyweight in the British Championships in 2006.

You think Kai Greene will sign Grapefruits?

You think Kai Greene will sign Grapefruits?
Will you present one to him?
Dude - get with it already. What he did in the past isnt what he does now. The man made $3,000 a weekend. I know guys that would do that just to meet the beautiful women he met for free.
Yes, we know about the grapefruit thing. Every few days, we get reminded of it. It was in his act when he was an exotic dancer. Yes, yes... ok...

Absolutely I would present one to him. What's he going to do to me, lunge towards me and pass out after taking two steps? He fucked a grapefruit for cash Ron, it's not like he blew up a building, but it's funny as hell. Why do you defend people even when you know what they are doing is fucked up. Would you fuck a grapefruit for cash? Is that what you want your children seeing on the internet, you blowing a wad into a grapefruit?
-
He used a condom so its ok

So normal people fuck grapefruits for cash? He could have got a job like the rest of us, he chose to live the life of a sick fuck.
Oh yeah Kai could do a normal 9-5 job and still be a top pro,dream on man,he chose his path,he stuck to his guns and accomplished what he set out to do,so he fucked a grapefruit,so what

God, I hope they don't have the stereo turned out to level 99 screaming crap all day. They always say they are going to crack down on such things, but rarely do. We about had a fight between twinlab and my booth back in 06. They threw shirts, which you're not supposed to do and someone jumped trying to catch one and landed in a glass case, cut themselves up pretty good.
Scivation will be there. They will have Ashley King there, yum:

Difference of what they wanted re Kim on Biggest Loser. As for Jamie, she isnt there this year, she may have had another commitment, but they have a lot of other people at the booth. Bob Chick is the spokesman, the man. People jump when they see him at the booth. As for Hardbody.com, it isnt for the guys, it is for the girls of the industry and those who are truly interested in positively learning about what is going on in the fitness, figure, bikini in the NPC and IFBB, and other things. Completely different than Getbig.com
