What does the AMI have to do to get the Mr. Olympia on ESPN?? If they can do it. It will be a great start for bodybuilding on TV.So what does Chang & McGough have to do to make it happen??
The 2007 Mr. Olympia wont be on ESPN...It will be webcast LIVE on www.bodybuilding.com for the fans around the globe to watch.
i know but why dont you get it on ESPN?? what are the Boundaries ??
lets put it another way....what is the benefit to ESPN? they would get a higher rating showing bowling with midgets.
From when I can recall, the last time Mr. Olympia was broadcast on ESPN was back in 1991 for Lee Haney's final victory. Ironic that not only was that the end of us seeing a Mr. Olympia with a pleasing physique, but the end of a broadcast.

Actually the best ESPN showing of the Olympia was for the 1995 Olympia, it was two hours long and showed every posing routine, line up, some of pre judging and the whole award ceremony. They also showed the special line up of ALL mr olympias onstage, with joe weider. Joe Amato and Frank Zane were the announcers....it was great!Also they showed the 97 olympia too...but it was only an hour long, they only showed part of the top six posing routines and it played like at 2am.
GETTING ON THEIR KNEES would be part of the solution...you figure out the rest.
...............becoming more mainstream instead of being freak sport with a cult following.
