Excellent review!
Congrats to Tony for pulling it off, yet again. My friend flew down from Brisbane just for the show and said it was awesome. It seems having a 24-hour gym within walking distance of the event hotel was a nice selling point.

While I will agree with you guys that there are some jackass promoters in the IFBB, Tony isn't one of them. When you compare their earning potential to that of a promoter in the U.S., the Aussies don't exactly get any discounts when taking a risk to put on a pro show. I don't know whether Tony profited from his show (if he wants to volunteer that info, it's up to him, I'm not going to ask), but I do know that he did a kick-ass job in doing the show, which meant having to give up time with his family.
How many GetBig readers would be willing to give up their time AND put their own financial well-being at risk just to give the athletes and fans a show?
