PRO DIVISION INC ANNOUNCES CRITERIA FOR MEMBERSHIP

Pro Division Inc announced today the ways in which athletes can participate in Pro Division Inc competitions/events.
Wayne S. DeMilia, CEO of Pro Division Inc states, “We have been inundated with requests from athletes encompassing every point on the globe. We are totally elated from the massive response we have received from interested athletes. We have formulated a program to be not only open and progressive, but also honest and fair.”

Pro Division Inc will consider for pro status in their program athletes who meet the following criteria.

Any male athlete who has achieved pro status from any other organization.
Any male athlete who has won a national or international title from any other organization.

In addition, because we have received so many requests from amateur athletes wishing to participate in our events, we have set up a program to achieve that goal.

Pro Division Inc will promote each year a series of “Amateur Pro Qualifiers.” These events will be run for the sole purpose of amateur athletes achieving pro status in Pro Division Inc.

The first three of such events will be promoted on the following dates and locations:

1. Florida    August 11-12
2. Las Vegas       August 25-26
3. New York City         September 15

Each event will have five weight divisions, and for our first year, the top two in each weight division will receive pro status. Weight divisions are as follows:

Up to 175 pounds
Over 175, up to and including 190 pounds
Over 190, up to and including 205 pounds
Over 205, up to and including 220 pounds
Over 220 pounds

The Sports Act of 1978, and a subsequent ruling on the matter in 1983, has given amateur athletes the right to compete in any organization any time they wish without fear of threats or reprisals.

Anyone wishing to join Pro Division Inc should do so by contacting us at prodivisioninc@yahoo.com. Our next press release will announce our fall contest schedule.

Right, and the WBF guys will tell you that's been strongly enforced in bodybuilding.

He is talking amatuer level athletes only.

so do the amateur athletes have to be from the US only or do amatuers from around the world who want to qualify have to fly to the US to enter these 3 shows

What's your point? You think any NPC athlete who competes in this league will ever win a pro-qualifier in the NPC after that?

Almost sounds like the kind of name some douchebag from San Diego would come up with.

yeah, that name is boring. unless they buy the names from me (at a terrific price) I just wanna use the page to give the viewers an unbiased view of the organization, the events, etc. I hope it does well.

Of course, much like the titus site, I'll spend too much time on it, someone will make me an offer I cannot refuse, and it will fall into more talented hands in no time.

tommywishbone · « **Reply #13 on:** February 28, 2006, 09:34:11 PM »

I play in the NFL... National Football League
I play for MLB... Major League Baseball
I fight for the WBC... World Boxing Organization
I compete in the PDI... Pro Division Inc
I race in the USCF... United States Cycling Federation

The name of the organization should have the name of the sport in it's name. Just my $0.02.

I emailed De Milla tonight.

Told him best of luck with the new federation.

Website for sale, and I'd rather it go to him than the IFBB rep that will be emailing me in the AM about buying the site.

Is there even a standard to enter the qualifiers?

$620. is cheap

Hmm.. how could they be so stupid as to continue using that yahoo email address.

Obviously they do not have anybody decent doing web work for them

Plenty of opportunity there

$620 is the fair market value this morning, based upon the future earning potential.

Each day, as I spend time on the site building, growing, and marketing www.prodivisionbodybuild ing.com, its value- and therefore price- will increase.

You forget they are using a yahoo email address

I suggest you offer to consult for them because they obviously are lacking it.

I mean, this is essentially the only way you can protect your investment

Otherwise its a huge waste of time.

I think alot of yous guys ares underestimating Wayne. There are a lot of IFBB guys who have awesome physiques that don't get a break. There's no reason that guys like Ronnie Rockel, Jason Arntz, and yes, even Mustafa Mohammed should continue to compete in the IFBB when they could move to PDI and make some money, earn some press, get better endorsement deals, and improve their lives. Once guys like Freeman and Johnnie Jackson see those guys winning contests, making far more money than themselves and earning better deals, they will follow. Once Ronnie and the rest of the old school step down (Cormier and the other 38 year olds), what will be the difference anyway.

Personally I think it will be good for the sport and the athletes.

au contraire my friend!
Friday at 3:00 pm EST the value of my site will double.
Ye shall see. Pro Division Bodybuilding is very real and some names you know will be making the jump.

Yeah, but you forget that DeMilia might have burned a few people because of his shrewd business style along the road to promoting the O...

He comes across as shrewder than 240's website pimping.
