The IFBB makes up 99% of pro competitive BB, both in numbers of pro's and money derived from shows and/ or ancelary monies from being associated...
Oh, then what you meant to say this: "When it comes to the competitive
PROFESSIONAL BB industry, yes, if you're not in the IFBB (are in PDI, etc), you're pretty much on the outside looking in..."
The reason I asked and and didn't appreciate that remark was because I AM a competitive bber (amateur level) and do consider myself as part of the industry as a whole. I don't believe that I am "outside" looking in on this industry. Out of the "PROFESSIONAL" loop?? Absolutely, but not out of the industry as a whole. If you are excluding "amateurs" from
being in the industry...well then...there wouldn't be an industry as that is where you all (IFBB Pro's) came from. You certainly were born an IFBB Pro, in fact...it took you many amateur shows (13 years worth?) before becoming such. Bob, I like you, I'm friends with T, I agree with most of what you say on this board and I can appreciate all the hard work you did to get where you are today...but don't forget where you started and insult those that are still there.
