"postponing" another show.  ::)

dropping a show 4 weeks out is a great sign of professionalism

So what was the "unavoidable reason"?  Surely that's not being kept secret..

Was there a pick up basketball game scheduled in the gym?

Talk is cheap.Who couldn't put a show on with 10k 1st prize??It's not like they pay much to IFBB Pro competitors.Turn Pro win a Grand Prix show and pick up a Kool 10k Now that is some serious cash.

They go to pay sanction fees … which I guess is around 10-2o grand$ and fly over some officials with accommodation & I am sure to make the show more popular they pay top guys just to do the show like what happens in some of the grand prixs

In the early days (i think late 80s and early 90s)  the wieder use to ask for US$100,000 as sancgtion from the arab countrues (despite the actual sanctions and what they charged other countries was 10,000) casue they thought that as long as they have oil they will pay … that is y not show was held earlier

the funny thing is that even in a region where bb'ing is a money making venture, it was still going to be held in a high school auditorium...

Ali was probably hoping to sell a bunch of gear at that contest

Swampi the cocksmith was hoping to blow the right skin flutes to get a pro card

Alnutsack was hoping to get some private posing sessions with Phil Heath

but Chick says that when you cross the I's and dot the T's the numbers dont add up ::)
