Title: Is it going to effect the athletes?
Post by: DragonsBreath on June 15, 2006, 01:24:37 PM
By AMI selling off two major BBing mags (and others), is it going to effect the athletes that are under contract with Weider/AMI?

We know Ronnie, Jay, Gunther all have lucrative contracts with AMI. Are the athletes looking at a pay cut or cut all together?

Thats a good point.

Depends who buys it I guess. I'd be curious to see how many guys are under contract with AMI for photoshoots and how much they cost yearly?

Imagine the poor sucker who buys flex.

Congratulations sir you just bought flex magazine and all of its assets.

Great he thinks, until he opens his office door and about 900 lbs of greased up muscle (Ronnie, Jay and Gunter) are standing outside!
