Post by: 240 is Back on August 02, 2006, 05:31:15 PM
I missed his radio appearance today.  Did he announce when/where he'll be competing first?

He said he's contemplating the Europa but will most likely make his debut at the Colorado Pro show. He said he has to talk things over with Hany and the people close to him.

He's working with Hany. Larry broke down the placings and his thoughts on the show from a judge's persepective. There was no mention of PDI, so you may not find the show all that newsworthy.  ;)

Wasn't there supposed to be a PDI radio show?

While I do find the PDI interesting, I'd be equeally supportive of a 3rd and 4th new federation.  Competition keeps everyone sharp!

if that's the case, then someone needs to figure out why 90% of the guys aren't earning any prize money from the IFBB.

When someone has the magical answer to take things "mainstream" then you'll see guys making money. Until then you can have 100 federations and most will still be making peanuts.

240 - I am tasking you to put your MBA to better use and find a solution to take bodybuilding mainstream. If you spend 25% less time on getbig and devout that to finding a solution you will save the day.

Because 90% of the guys aren't in the top 10% of the "best in the world" category, thats why...

If we had the NFL's fan base, exposure... we would have NFL type money coming in for the athletes.

Did Lary told Omar to shave his head so he doesn't look 55 year old ?

I am just saying that if you provided NO salary for 90% of your employees, you might need to re-think either your company sales numbers, or your salary distribution system.  Is Ronnie's Olympia position REALLY 10 or 15 times better than Lee's Ironman shape?  Is it really worth 155k when Lee only got $15k for that show?  (or was it 10k?) 

Perhaps not making the prize money distribution so lopsided would help more guys eat.  Just a thought.
