This show is and ALWAYS was a joke. Built on hype, false advertising and lies. None of the "legends" that they kepy saying "will" or "might" or "should" do it are doing it. And if you tend to think of Darrem, Toney, Pavol etc as great legends then go to the show. Samir, Ronnie, Dorian or others that they kept hyping are not going to be there.. why would they?

Will be a $200k show with $10k show quality competitors.

Don't believe me.. PLEASE return to this thread after the event  ;)

what sponsors in their right minds will front $200k for all those no-names?  their companies should go out of business.  where is shawn, kevin, maybe chris, yates, and ronnie?  200k is big money for dex to be the star attraction.  no one gave a shit when he was mr o.

The entire show is based on not just whose competing, but whose making  an appearance, guest posing, autographing memorabilia, etc...some fans ma never have the opportunity to meet and greet some of the best BBs in history, as many are only at the Olympia or Arnold...


why the animosity for a show you probably won't be at anyway?

Of course, sponsors alone are not going to ensure the $240,000 in prize money....

So where is the rest of the money coming from?

The promoter, former masters female bodybuilder "Jarka" has published a bodybuilding legends book, and she believes the profit from the book sales will contribute in large part to the overall prize money.

(She stated this on an RXmuscle radio show awhile back)

The price of the book? $101.99......

So....can a book catering to a niche market and only available on one website (not avaliable on amazon.com)
really make a significant profit? I predict it will sell maybe a few hundred copies (If that)

This contest remains an enigma... Sadly we're looking at a house of cards...about to collapse
