Silvio Samuels AMI Contract Status

[Chick]

To all concerned:

I just got off the phone with Robin Chang. He read and forwarded to me, an email from Silvio explaining the situation and making his stance clear for the record. Silvio is in Canada at present, shooting pics for Muscletech...

He states that Milos is NOT his manager, and has never had the authority to speak on his behalf. He will address this himself and in greater detail, after the Colorado Pro as it is agravating enough to have to prepare with all that is going on.

There will be no action taken in reguards to his breach of contract, as it has been noted that certain people have mislead him, and have put his contract in jeopardy despite knowing the consequences of those actions. Robin (as representing AMI) and I (as representing the athlete) have discussed this at length and have come to this resolution on Silvio's behalf.

He has been isssued a warning, and knows that as the contracted athlete, he will be responsible for living up to the terms of the contract in any and all future occurances.

Silvio wants it known that he is very happy with both of his endorsement contracts, and hopes to remain a Weider athlete for a long time to come.

This is great news for Silvio and the IFBB.  I hope this finally put an end to Milos' lying on this board. Thanks for the update.

So does this mean he isn't going to be working with Milos after all this drama?

[Ron]

Milos is going to get a lot of questions at the seminar.  Get ready!

[timfogarty]

it means he's willing to say what is necessary to keep his contract.

[Disgusted]

This certainly will be interesting. I know a lot of the story already.

spill it Jim

A good friend of mine hangs out with Silvio a lot. Funny what you found out to be "really" true when someone has no reason to lie. Anyway, I'll let these guys battle it out since I was told in confidence. I will say this, Sean Ray is a weasle fo sho. 

[Stark]

omg let the party begin

[donrhummy]

Why is he even being issued a warning?

[240 is Back]

how bout suspending Branch for cashing a first place check that wasn't his?

[natural al]

y'know I was thinking of this, isn't DJ an AMI guy?  How many times have we seen progress pics of him?  Why wasn't an issue back then and all of a sudden it is?  No offense Bob but this does seem like a Milos witchhunt for some reason, I could be wrong...I've seen tons of these type of pics in the past and it was never, ever an issue.

[Stark]

Chick owned Milos

HAHAHAHA, Fucking 240!!!!!!!!!!!

What about the IFBB issuing a warning to Shawn Ray for his immature behavior towards a fellow IFBB memeber? And dont give us the same bullshit that Shawn didnt do anything. We are the "Peanut Gallery" but we're not stupid 

[SWOLETRAIN]

I think its more along the lines of Silvio being a good boy.. After all its his $$$ 1st, right?

[War-Horse]

Good for silvio!!     He has a bright future posing for shmoes.

[StillTippin]

I'm probably missing something about this whole issue, but why can't you post progress pics before a contest?  I've seen it done before or was it just because it was so close to the contest?

These guys are accepting the terms of said contracts for a salary basically.

With the internet getting more powerful and its ability to sway votes and confidence, they are locking down what is an approved site and what is not.

In the past ...not matter.......now its big.

Ah ok.  That clears it up.  Thanks man.

Glad Silvio seems to be coming out of this ok.  Seems like a nice guy and has a bright future.

I am open to all questions and this is certainly a news to me.

Now, to make one thing clear: I said I was acting as Silvio's manager ALL THIS TIME as we had that kind of verbal agreement (not signed contract - as I certainly don't need one...)
Yesterday, in other thread when Bob talked about 20% "payment" I clarified that EVERYTHING I did for Silvio in the beginning was FREE - as I wanted to help him get on his feet...

However, as I made many things possible for him and he expressed that he wants to continue using me and he wants to start paying me for my services as he thinks that I should get paid "at least - something" - we discussed several options...
He was asking (others...including Shawn) for the advice as he was considering different options for payment - and percentage was just one of the ideas...(Off course, Shawn would tell him to just go along and not pay me anything...while he was selling him his old furniture...)

Now, as some would like to present me as a lier - good luck with that.
I simply DON'T LIE.

Robin knows very well that he was talking to me about Silvio's contract as I was representing him as his manager...and MUSCLETECH people know that as well - as I went back and forth with them for a while making sure to get him MUCH MORE MONEY than what they would offer him...

So, that's that.
I guess I will have to find out from Silvio ASAP what's his stand about this whole thing...but certainly as it looks to me - someone tried to intimidate him and therefore he had to say "proper answer" to the delight of Bob and Shawn...so he could save his contract...

But, as it goes in life - there are two sides to every story...

#1) I claim that I was acting as his manager since he came here to US...until right now. I organized several PAYING photoshoots with FLEX and MD - and acted as his manager negotiating his fees.
I also acted as his manager in case of publication contract (AMI) as well as supplement contract (Muscletech)

#2) And for Bob's statement:" He states that Milos is NOT his manager, and has never had the authority to speak on his behalf." - read #1.

[Milos_Sarcev]

Milos is going to get a lot of questions at the seminar.  Get ready!

I don't have to wait for the seminar - I already started answering...but certainly - come and ask me anything...

I think Silvio will be here by than...

[Stark]

Milos it doesn't look to good for you mate

There is no intimidation, no threatening of his contract...just a statement from Silvio himself. I take no delight in this, as my job was to do what I could for Silvio in reguards to his contract...

Dont shoot the messnger...whatever issues you have w/ Silvio are your own.

Bodybuilders will always always look out for themself first, so I'm not to suprised about this "dagger in the back".
