American Media, Inc. Announces Amazon.com as “Official Retail Sponsor” of 2015 Olympia Fitness & Performance Weekend
NEW YORK, August 20, 2015 /PRNewswire/ - American Media, Inc. (AMI) today announced that Amazon.com would be the official retail sponsor of the world famous Olympia Fitness & Performance weekend in 2015 – which is likely to be the highest attended weekend yet.
The 2015 Olympia Weekend is ‘Presented by’ title sponsor Ultimate Nutrition and will be ‘Brought to you’ by our new official retail sponsor Amazon.com. It consists of the Mr. Olympia bodybuilding competition and the Fitness & Performance Expo. Mr. Olympia offers fans a chance to see the world’s greatest bodybuilders in action. At the Expo, men and women with a passion for health and fitness can discover the latest nutritional supplements and try the newest workout gear. With a record setting 55,000 in attendance and over 1,000 exhibitor booths last year, the event continues to grow as even more fans and brands are expected in 2015. The Expo and competition will be held in Las Vegas at the Las Vegas Convention Center and the Orleans Arena on September 17-20.
The Amazon.com Olympia Fitness & Performance Weekend sponsorship will include a considerable amount of features. For the Mr. Olympia competition, Amazon.com will be the exclusive sponsor of the live video stream, which generated 4 million views last year. And along with Ultimate Nutrition’s logo, the Amazon.com logo will be positioned alongside the official Olympia logo wherever it is displayed at the Orleans Arena and LVCC, including the main stage at the Expo where popular contests such as the Bikini Model Search, Men’s Model Search, Kick Boxing and the Strongman Challenge are held.
“With Amazon being the world’s premier online retailer, we couldn’t think of a better retail sponsor for the Mr. Olympia weekend. Amazon has shown a great appreciation for the sport of bodybuilding and the culture that has grown with it,” said AMI Chairman, CEO and President David Pecker. “This is a win-win for everyone, as Amazon will surely strengthen its presence amongst the fitness community while Olympia gets the ultimate retail sponsor.”

Same here! Whoever though that Stuntmovie, Wiggs and Ron would randomly meet in from of the ABB booth! Nice!

Probably a good move on Amazon's part. Bet Mr. Olympia LLC. was getting antsy in their pantsy when Bodybuilding.com dropped them.
Unless, this has been in the talks for a good long while now... which is unlikely because our local "insider" would have informed us by now. ::)

I'm willing to bet this was in the works for a while and IFBB intentionally high balled bb.com so they can be dropped. Just gossip and opinion though.

This ^^
-
the word "fitness" in the title really makes it seem less hardcore. But I guess they have no choice to go this route.
-
I wonder if Amazon would have any say in how the production goes...
In any regard, this is the biggest thing for bodybuilding since Gunter upset Ronnie over a decade ago.
-
Thanks mr Ron.....let the madness begin !! ;D
-
Should be a good time! :)
-
I bet the press conference will reach WWE EPIC Proportions this year. Phil is on the edge and I bet the fans are going to be in there screaming for blood.
"BROOKLYN STAND UP YO!" LMAO ;D ;D

Re: Olympia Webcast
2015 Olympia Webcast will not cost any money, as usual.
It will be broadcasted for free on Flexonline.com
-
The webcast will be free of charge on Flexonline.com this year.
-
This sound music for bodybuilding industry ears!
Maybe it will be a new grow era?
-
Amazon is going to destroy BB.com's previous attempts. No doubt. Good for the Olympia.
-
What a relief. I didn't know how I was going to schmoe properly this year. Maybe they can get Wolf to launch an ad campaign for their flying drone service. With his charm and Amazon's capital...who knows how big that could be.

Has there been any link showing this was actually officially confirmed anywheres? Is Amazon going to tolerate Chick as MC and those ridiculous clownish suits? Is Amazon going to tolerate the huge amount of time wasted on the Fart Powder or the Year Awards? Is Amazon going to participate in any way, maybe provide some effing quality control for the camera work? Amazon has a shit ton of money, is any of it being kicked down?
-
why are you so negative?

You'll have to refer to Harley Breite for info..... ;D
-
This is correct. I think they are doing this to take business from Bodybuilding.com. They are into selling supplements.
-
i buy my supplements from amazon, better prices and faster shipping.
i do hope they fire chic though that would be great
-
You calling yogi Ron and voodo vince liars? ???
-
I'm just trying to find the link where it is confirmed so I might be able to find out more. I have many suggestions that I would like to email them.
-
So much trolling these days....... >:(
-
With BB.com out of the picture, maybe they'll stop the stupid awards.
I for one love the negativity! Keep it up you piece of shit!

He's freaky and conditioned, but lacks the flow/balance. Will be out of the top-10 with so many great names on the list.
-
That's a rather solid lineup! Just being there and placing top 10 is huge.

I hope that 'the gift' is gone in 24 days

i don't know man....He's got a great combination of big arms and a chest... He's got AMAZING delts...His arms in general just look a little like flex lewis...Which is why i was surprised when i heard he was working with neil...He's fairly new to the scene and has not had sex with any grapefruits...He earned his way to this point with his physique....He is an excellent poser as well...He will come to the stage looking MUCH BETTER than the likes of Kuclo and essa and i think he will even pass guys like Morel and sneak into the top 10 fairly easily...I am growing to be a big fan of Bonac and he will continue to get better and better...I'm thinking he breaks through this year

He's a nice & humble guy. Saw him as a guest poser, and being freaky he's def impressive. Impressive however, isn't enough to do damage on an AC or 'O stage. He had a good conditioning during last year's 'O, but there's not much flow between his freaky body parts. Another problem is his somehow blocky waist during certain poses. He made a good start in the pro circuit, but because of these reasons I don't see him placing better in the future.
