I don't understand the malice?  
If one of your "own" can make good for himself, and promote the bodybuilding lifestyle, it seems like it would be "da kine" to the bodybuilding community.

 Puma is catching on BIGTIME with the 'guido' culture.

 Basically kids from 17-24 who 'go out' and try to look HOT to get girls. Well...they are also into supplements and working out and PUMA clothings seems to be what they're wearing so they are using an eyebrow waxed King Kamali to appeal to them even more.

Does "Guido" refer to Persians or Italians?

Guys,

There's a time to hate and a time for respeck.

When a guy declares himself to be in the "best condition ever" and shows up carrying more water than a Poland Spring truck and more fat than a Pre-subway Jared, it's time to hate.

When a man has been humbled, sets his mind on making money through marketing and endorsements, and tricks a major athletic wear company into signing him to a huge deal based on his frequency as a magazine cover fixture, we must give him MAD RESPECK!

Congrats to king on this endorsement deal. I actually think that past the "screw the haters" attitude King can be a good, interesting, and a good representation of the sport. Think about it, King is actually interesting and has some sort of a unique personality. Not only that but the style that is big is the hip-hop style. King can embody this well. I'm glad this is happening because it is actually good for the sport. I guess that mocking of his routine on VH-1 put him on the map.

What exactly do puma expect to get out of this? Are there really young bbers out there who say "I wanna be/look just like kamali"? Why'd they pick him over others who look way better? boohooohooo...

Guys,

There's a time to hate and a time for respeck.


If the real figure he's being paid had been reported I might agree, but I'm sure this is just another case of an insecure bodybuilder "pumping up" his numbers to make himself seem more significant than he really is.  No way am I believing Puma would pay Mr. O $700k for an endorsement, let alone a third-tier clown like KK.

Does Terroris refer to Persians or Italians?
Persians aka Kamali.  He is going to destroy Puma.  It would be the equivalent of flying two planes into Puma headquarters. 

King maybe look like the Guido douchebags that grace New Jersey and Manhattan but I'm sure the BLACK PUMA customers will have something to say about this.  I predict a Verizon or Nike ad featuring Chris Cormier soon and Jay will surely show up in an Under Armour Ad.

It's comming!

 Good observation! I think Cormier will be representin FUBU and Verizon since the cell phone is a MAJOR piece of 'accessory' in the modern gym now.

from bodybuilding.com...

"Bodybuilder King Kamali is on the cusp of signing one of the largest bodybuilding endorsement deals of all time, a PUMA official told Bodybuilding.com.

KingKamali.com  reported over the weekend that the shoe and apparel company was ready to sign Kamali a New York resident to a 2 year deal "estimated to be worth in excess" of $1.4 million. That deal is however easily eclipsed by the five-year, $100 million deal Tiger Woods signed with Nike in 2000 and the seven-year, $90 million deal LeBron James signed with Nike in May of this year.

"We have a could have a very valuable partnership with King Kamali and we are excited about that," Puma spokesman Thomas Van Schaik said.

The report said that Kamali, who is a top level IFBB professional bodybuilder, would receive 1.4 million over two years would also get a "percentage of profits from the sale of sportswear and lucrative payments for promotional and PR work."

Last year, BSN Nutrition agreed to pay 8 time Mr Olympia a reported $4 million over a period of 3 years.


just goes to show, having a big mouth pays.



  This "Puma" people obviously don't follow professional bodybuilding... ::)

What does he "have", besides tiny arms and legs and a case of stage-four Palumboism?

puma is gay especially when a 300lb guido is suited in it, but still better than HOTSKINS.

Exactly he simply doesnt bring much advertising value to the table. And the the Guido kids who take supps and lift , well most dont even follow bbing as it is.

They do enough to know to use B$N and MT products and they see that in Muscle/Fitness magazine.

 Puma is supposedly going to be advertising in there and in various mens mags like Maxim, Stuff etc...

 King will be in their ads with Puma gear on looking TAN with perfect eyebrows. Throw some hot girl rubbing his shoulder and watch how many guidos from Staten Island run out and buy Puma.
