Well if he got the gene from his dad..........probably not. But I am sure he is good at hiding behind others and evading paying taxes. You can probably bet that at the dinner table they didn't talk about BB but rather how to launder money and how to get guys with big muscles to give them money for free.

I've meant to ask you this for a long time...

"Bob Bonham"...

Very cool sounding name. Rock star caliber. What's your real name sport?

Robert Smith?

YIP
Zack

Post by: Adam Empire on August 05, 2006, 11:18:41 AM: It would be really cool if they divided up the company and gave shares to those who helped them make so much $ over the years (and weren't paid Sh!t). At least give back a little. We all know Mike Mazz could use the bucks ;)

Post by: stealth_swimmer on August 05, 2006, 01:39:44 PM: Eric doesn't want to have anything to do with it as far as I know. He is starting to publish another magazine. AMI is pretty much in charge right now with the Weider name on it. Whoever is put in charge next, I just hope they are close to the sport so that it can benefit the most possible.

AMI is not running international amateur bodybuilding. the topic was the "non-profit" IFBB, not the publishing empire

Post by: G o a t b o y on August 05, 2006, 05:37:09 PM: The Weiders already got their money out of bodybuilding to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars as they sold off pieces of their empire over the years. I'm sure the money is safely invested in non-bodybuilding industry related securities.

I think Ben just hangs around because he likes looking at muscular men in speedos.

Manion is the one whose income depends on bodybuilding. The NPC is his "family business", and it is vital that the IFBB is run in a way that protects the interests of the NPC.
