Chick - so you don't think that if this were to happen, the IFBB would realize the need to up the ante on their end and make their federation truly a world class BB organization by offering decent prize money for all. Monopolies are not always the best for business, imagine that. If all atheletes were given a chance to compete across federations then the IFBB would have to bring something more to the table, even if its not initially. Its not about having a few big names come over and steal the PDI's prize-money, its about realizing the end result for the IFBB and the atheletes. If you're actually in this to help the BB's I would think you'd almost have to be encouraging them compete outside the IFBB.....
Whats funny about this statement, is that the poster believes there are enough "best Bers" in the world to make up another federation that could give some real competition.
Yes, what you say is correct...in theory.
There simply isn't enough talent to go around...what you would end up with is a few more watered down federations and LES guys making money.
BTW...just where do you believe the MONEY is going to come from to support thse other federations?
The PDI isn't offering anything new...NABBA, WABBA, etc. have been around for many years now, offering another choice for pro's....they simply choose the IFB because they want to compete against the best, and stand the best chance of making money in it.
