PJ Braun and Aaron Singerman have landed a coup, signing their friend Evan Centopani to a five year deal with Prime Nutrition. Just one year ago, Prime Nutrition was a shell, having been formed after Aaron was kicked out of RX Muscle. Aaron has much to thank, especially to Dave, who kicked his ass into high gear.
Here is the press release
It is with great excitement and pleasure, that on this day, Prime Nutrition is taking another giant leap in the ultra-competitive supplement industry. We are pleased to announce the signing of one of the brightest stars in all of professional bodybuilding, Evan Centopani, to a 5 year guaranteed contract that offers a truly unique opportunity for an athlete of Centopani’s stature.
Evan will not only be the face of the Prime Nutrition brand, but will also serve as an executive, working in new product and business development. He will be a lead formulator in all new products that hit the market world-wide and have an integral role in closed door meetings about future strategic planning. The terms of the agreement are in place to set-up Centopani long after his competitive bodybuilding days are behind him.
As many of you know, Centopani had been part of an established company for the past seven years, making this move one that didn’t come easy. However, the arrangement presented to Evan was one that he simply could not turn down. As fans of his know, he walks to the beat of his own drum and is meticulous before making decisions. It should come to no surprise that he took full advantage of this new beginning.
Centopani and President of Prime Nutrition, PJ Braun, have been close friends for over a decade. From pals, to training partners, and now business colleagues. Very rarely in business can you mix such a unique dynamic together; CEO of Prime Nutrition, Aaron Singerman, has also had the utmost respect and adulation for Evan for several years. Although the ink on this agreement is barely dry, the mutual admiration and like-mindedness is undeniable.
Stay tuned for more from Evan Centopani and Prime Nutrition about this industry rumbling announcement.

I was just reading about this on Fox News.
-
Above the fold, tomorrow's NY Times.
-
Could see that coming from a mile away.
-
LOL, he will never have it as good as ANIMAL
good more freed up GH money to Frank and Antonie
-
the better the supp compaies do, the more shows, the more money for athletes to win.

Since evan only competes 2x a year and he never wins shit, how long before Prime Nutrition goes belly up due to signing evan?
-
I won't believe this is official until Triple V confirms it.
-
Heard they lured him into the deal with the guarantee of receiving 3 to 4 highly soiled panties from the infamous Peaceful every 2-3 hours for the next 1000 years. :D

Those guys must have a serious setup in China producing all their designer-steroid powders etc. to be supplying a popular retail brand like Blackstone labs.
If they can produce large amounts of pure "designer steroids" and "pro hormones" they can produce pure pharma grade shit like Anavar, Dbol, Primo, all the good shit too...With an ever so sliiiight disregard for the law.
If I was a pro bodybuilder I would see this as a huge contributing factor in this relationship.
Solid business men (Drug dealers) are a pro's BEST FRIEND. Hell more like only friend..
-
Probably not even a BA degree if you combine their collective post high school education (I could be wrong but does it matter)...but they are personally formulating nutritional products for 16 year old kids. Ultimately, the contaminated junk they flog will make its way to the US from China in a 40' container. Let's hope the cargo is not lost at sea causing liver and kidney failure in sea creatures.
-
Dam so Gatorade lost out on the bid for this athlete thats a real shame.

They've done no social marketing like Shredz, so how are they doing it? Aaron is Jew, and he has a deal with Jew wholesalers to buy "x" amount of product, the same way the Weider's did it many years ago. His product is a fucking unknown but he has revenues and can sign long-term guaranteed deals. .

Might as well send my team home for the day. After such shocking news no work will get done. It's the talk at the office here.
-

Doesn't matter too much if he doesn't win.
As long as he has lot of Facebook & twitter followers then he's good to go. Those are the metrics supp companies measure.

Wasn't this just on CNN breaking news?
-
Its a lucky thing I workout this morning cause my gym close early, after hearing the news most people where too shocked to continue working out.
-
When is the IPO for this future juggernaut in the sports nutrition world going to drop
-
He will be a lead formulator in all new products that hit the market world-wide and have an integral role in closed door meetings about future strategic planning.
Say no more. What a joke.

There was a stinky Indian dripping a ton of sweat on the elliptical today :-X
I doubt he cleaned it up, I thought of getbig when I witnessed this.

I enjoyed that line myself.
This should all end good.

Damn Evan just put Prime, PJ and Aaron on the map.

It would still be better than all the other shit they air.

who wrote this lame shit?
I hope centopani got paid upfront for a majority of the $$.
seems like a good deal only if he was getting paid in supplements from Universal.
-
Wasn't this just on CNN breaking news?
Are there things between you and Evan?
-
Very risky move for Evan, who knows if Prime Nutrition will be around in 5 years. Singerman and Braun are shady characters
-
Hmm I don't recall reading this in the newspaper. ???
-

I predict they have a longer shelf life than Centopani.
-
i saw that dude centopani working out in north jersey one night at the gym i used to go to, great potential imo
-
Evan left one garbage supplement company to go to another garbage supplement company?
:o
The horror!
::)
-
I hope the person who negotiated this deal for Evan had PJ and Aaron put the total 5 year "guarantee" in escrow with instructions to draw x amount against it every month. If this has not been done, Evan may not see a penny after year "x" or month "y" (once the company sinks).

AHAHAHAHAHAHAAH!!!! "press release"
-
Serious question here.. Why on earth more than any other industry I can think of, does the sole proprietor of very small supplement companies refer to themselves as CEO? I know, technically they are, but isnt that title kind of reserved for the uber-earners in business? As if making sure your insurance is in line, marketing is constant, and your private label contractor has an accurate production cycle is worthy of CEOness?
-
Stock market going crazy with this news, my broker called me up but said wrong number, sorry.
I tried calling back and he didn't answer the phone.

Do you remember any marketing and promotion by Weider Nutrition, because I don't. Why? The Jews gave them retail shelf space. It's a smaller scale but Aaron has been given space by the wholesalers, so "X" units will be placed yearly. Guaranteed he is around for the next 5 yrs. Ronnie or Phil will tank first.
If you don't understand the concept, then try to start a coconut water company and try to get a grocer to put your product next to Coke or Pepsi.

Who's this guy to have any business formulating ANYTHING?
Oh, and "closed-door meetings". ::)

Hey PJ,
Do you have a product that will make Evan finally bring up his chest 4th pair of abs?

This is just 1 example how delusional these fucks are. To have a ceo I think requires a board of directors.
How about co-owner, partner or something along those lines.

What a coup! How did they ever lure him away? WoW! What's...NOoooo...Who's next on what amounts to 2014's really cool supplement conquest tour?!

Evan Better recognize who runs the shit at Prime Nutriton

By the way, real question here
Is Evan still going to call himself "THE OX" or is he dropping that silly ANIMAL PAK gimmick nickname they give all their employees
Does Universal have a trade mark on that OX nickname they game him?
??? ???

Yeah one might suspect that a company such as this was simply a front for illegal drug sales.
I don't know if it's true that as you say that this black stone labs is connected to Prime, but if it is then they are already in the illegal hormone market. It is not legal to sell these designer steroids (ask Rick Collins). It's certainly true that if they can get these designers into the country then they can get everything else too, the more explicitly banned hormones.
But I'm just wildly speculating here, I have no insight into this particular company. 8)
It's true that most legal supplement companies were started with proceeds from drug sales.

well.. paid upfront in full or paid upfront for a month are different things.
either way... I have no doubt PJ and them are making good profit (I personally know what kind of profits are to be had in that biz. lol)... it's just a long term risk.. gotta worry about the gov't putting their nose in things and flipping the switch on that side of the industry.

it's a legal thing... for any company.
I form a corp in Nevada, even if there's 1 shareholder.. ME. there needs to be a Chief Exec Officer and Chief Financial Officer, ect... these can all be one person.
Now, even if I refer to myself as "president of XYZ Inc." on my business cards and letterhead, etc.. I'm still listed as the CEO on corp paperwork.

^ yes when you form a corporation such as an LLC you must have all those "titles" even though it may be just you running the business. Does not mean the business is huge or even successfull.

LLC's don't require any specific titles.
You can use any title you want on your LLC's business cards and stationery, but your legal title, if you are an owner -- called a member in an LLC -- is "managing member." If you hire a professional to run your company, he is legally called a "manager." However, the flexibility offered by an LLC structure permits you to choose a public title for your top manager.

they bashed aaron but the truth is he made it! how he can afford a mediterean mansion,cars,this that plus a supplement company that is now paying big bucks to an top 10 olympia athlete...

The Farce runs strong in Evan.

Evan was a fat kid, without gear he would still tip the scale over 200

Evan will never be 160.

Great great move by Centopani.
With Prime nutrition behind him, I see great things....Arnold classic, hell maybe even the olympia.
Case and point.

Thats why I said that. He was over 200 as a young teen. Fat not muscle, but it is still consider weight.
