SO WHY NOT LET THE GUYS COMPETE IN BOTH TO MAKE MONEY....
WHO DOES IT HURT TELL ME THAT?--------------NO BODY
JUST SAY PDI HAD SHOW BEFORE ARNOLD OR ANY IFBB SHOW OR AFTER WHY WOULD GUYS DO IT IF THEY COULD MNAKE EXTRA MONEY...THEY ARE IN SHAPE SO WHY NOT.....IF THEY NEW THE IFBB SAID IT WAS OK THERE WOULD BE PLENTY DOING BOTH.
You're not looking at the big picture...I don't personally believe that there are enough quality pro's or sponsors to sustain 2 federations.
Who may it hurt, you ask? Possible BOTH federations and the athletes in the long term. Two waterd down federations...more shows with less quality at them, less sponsorship money means less probability of MORE athletes making anything.
There aren't enough good pro's out there to make the IFBB successful in all their shows, let alone another federation. The smaller shows already take enough flak for having a "weak" line-up...
There would also be a problem with the PDI guys being able to compete in the IFBB shows, as the majoity of them aren't qualified by IFBB standards...If they can't get through the NPC, they certainly cant step on a IFBB stage...
If there was enough talent and money to have another successful federation, it would have been done many years go with NABBA, WABBA, the WBBG, or the WBF.
