Bob Chick - Athlete's Representative?

[Stark]

This is the best post on getbig.com i ever seen! Hope shawn get`s his ass kicked!!

well take a guess why he hasn't aired his opinion here yet

[Colossus_1986]

i got no problem wit WHAT melvin said.  But anyone who wants to solve a problem should know that this aint the place.  Why not man up and pick up a phone first.  this goes for all the fellas. not just mel.

in this case he wants to know who's with him. and see who wanted Bob "out" as atheletes rep. The only other way is to call everyone, but its much simpler here to see who supports your cause

[dseiler]

  I can't stand it any more.................... ..Milos, It is traitor........T R A I T O R ........not trader. Please.

He already fixed it. Next!

[Stark]

I assume the Gladiators have gone to bed than?

[blinky]

It'll be funny when he deletes it.

not sure why but this made me laugh hard 

probably cause he will 

[migizi]

this is going to make an interesting PBW and Muscle Mob come next Monday night

I had about enough of Bob and Shawn Rays tactic and my next move is to write a formal letter  to the IFBB in regards to the bashing and intimidation of fellow IFBB athletes.  Bob you do not speak for me nor do you hiold any weight with me as of now.  I am also going to ask that you be removed of this so called rep position.  I for one saw and talked to Silvio at the NY. And i must saay you guys scared him and messed up his mental state for the pre judging.  I also read Shawns text messages to Silvio stating that he could not help him with Wieder now.   This bashing of other athletes has gone too far and it is going to stop I call IFBB pros to read this and make a statement regarding this issue.  If this is deleting I will repost it.

Marvelous Melvin Anthony IFBB Pro

You dumb fuck...
Being told you can lose your source of income, it's like losing your Job...
you must be unemployed and blow your grandfather daily to keep living in his
basement, so you obviously don't know the feeling.

Where are Marcos' blue stars?

Don't wait for them, I asked 2 mods about them since last year, but they are a little lazy and comeback with: "Ron has more work to do"

Well willie I did man up and talked to Bob and got his stance on the situation.  He Only stated to Silvio that he would help solve the issue.  Bob has assured me that this bashing crap will be addressed through the proper chanels.  I think that people in this sport need to be truthful and not at the expense of being liked by everyone.  Sometimes you cannot please everyone.  I also think that IFBB athletes need to be protected from attacks by other athletes.  We all try to be role models in our own right but I refuse to do it at another athletes demise.  This is my last post.

Marevlous

Melvin my man can I ask you why you choose to go so public with this issue? Instead of meeting with chick or even giving him a phonecall before you wrote this thread?
Don't you fear you could regret your decission? Especially if it turns out not to be true?

For all the money that the Supplement Cos and Magazine and related industries turn off of BBing, a guy would think there would be a way to better compensate the top competitors that make it possible for them.

Nobody wants to give away their cold hard cash. But without the handfull of top guys, what would BBing be .  If they'd stick together, they'd have more power than they realize.(I'll get kicked off here quick like this Huh?)

Seems to me that certain very wealthy Biz entities that got that way from these guys hard work & sacrifice, could at least help them
promote themselves BusinessWISE and earn a good living w/ Future Security if they are not willing/able to outright make competition a viable Professional persuit for these athletes.
It's a short lived game thats hard as hell on the body for the Pros.

As Melvin stated...we talked this morning and squared away any misunderstandings. He has no problem with me as the rep, as most of his original post had nothing to do with me per se, and he now knows that.

I'm not going to respond to Milos' name calling, or get in the middle of Shawn/ Milos he said crap...they can go at it all day long...

My ONLY involvement in this, was to make sure Silvio (as an IFBB pro) was represented properly and used my position to negotiate with Robin Chang to insure the best possible outcome...

Silvio has his version, Milos his, Shawn his.....the only fact I know FOR SURE, is that Milos was instructed by Robin Chang himself NOT to post pics of a AMI contracted athlete...he decided to anyway. This put Silvios contract in jeopardy. PERIOD.

If this one event never occurs...the rest never takes place. Simple as that.

I have nothing to gain or lose by Silvio training with Milos, paying him for services (which he should if he's going to use them) training at his gym, using him or not using him as a manager, etc, etc....I have no horse in this race.

My only involvement was:

1. to assure Silvio AFTER he was told about the possible infraction, that I would take care of it and not to worry...focus on the show...t's not a problem.

2. To meet with Robin Chang to discuss the situation and come to a resolution.



All the rest is bullshit.

Firehouse time Bob?

I am a union man myself and am thinking there should definately be a IFBB Pro's committee, made up of a few international Pro's and a few Pro's here which all Pro's vote on either by paper ballots(sent via email or snail mail).  International committee meet a couple times a year over there and guys here meet a couple times a year here and then the entire committee convene at the Olympia. Also send out both email and written correspondence notifying ALL Pro's that a yearly meeting with convene at the Olympia and that they also have several other opportunities to voice their concerns at the smaller meetings. Then once all agreed upon after the Olympia, Bob(or whoever is the Rep at that time) present the IFBB concerns/changes in writing. This should be witnessed by another committee member to avoid "corporate bs" ......

[Lift Studios]

Bob is a stand up guy and is man enough to admit if he is wrong at any time. He has and will continue to do far more for the IFBB competitors than anyone else.

I witnessed the confrontation with the judges at the IRONMAN and while it wasn't the place to conduct it, Milos did escalate the situation when he got involved with the discussion. Bob admitted he should have handled it differently in hindsight and commend him for that. The judges listened and gave the competitors more callouts in the next show and shows since then.

Milos is a passionate guy but often lets his passion cloud his visions of reality.

[OneMoreRep]

Milos has posted various pictures of Ronnie Coleman on his site, is his contract also in jeopardy?

I just spoke to Melvin. Melvin told me that he has no problem with supporting Bob as the Athlete's Rep, providing he helps to protect IFBB athletes from bashing other athlete's in a derogatory matter.  It is all ok that people talk about their bodies, etc, but not about their families, etc.

As the Athlete's rep, there needs to be a place for various emails and correspondence on what is going on with issues for the athletes.

I will speak to Bob, and see what we can do to help all IFBB athletes on this.

In the meantime, I consider this issue closed, and the exact situation with Silvio will be discussed at the seminar, and it will be address my Melvin, Ron and others with Milos.

I am locking this thread.
 

[Eirik]

ecxactly..

I hope Silvio can fill us all in WHAT really happen back stage, and what he thinks of milos thees days...

Im a huge Milos fan just to have that cleard

Bob has done a much better job than Shawn has as the Rep. But spurring talk, generating ideas and opinions is good for bodybuilding. Melvin has created a topic that would have been ignored, having a top level pro show some interest in the talk can always help.

[Karl Kox]

I am glad to see this thread unlocked

[mikediesel]

I am glad to see this thread unlocked

It was unlocked cause either Weider or Bob Chic TOLD Ron to unlocked it. They probably want getbiggers to read that bob and melvin made up. I think Melvin thought it through and came to the conclusion that he will only get screwed if he didnt pretend to go along with bob. Melvin spoke from the heart at the beggining of this thread and told us what he really thinks. So sad that all the pros bow down to a bunch of old, gay 4 pay addicts.

P.S. Meltd0wn   

[sgt. d]

Garraeth did you read the rest of this thread. The problem has been solved. Say hello to Milos for me at the little event

[thisiskeith12]

That's like nulling a musicians contract because their song appeared on Napster. 

What if that musician was working with Napster...?

[thisiskeith12]

What bodybuilding and bodybuilders don't realize is that exposure can amount to more revenue. Holding an athlete down to where they can only have their pictures in one magazine or can only have interviews of them in one magazine puts a lid on any possible exposure and growth. It limits the revenue they can earn in every way imaginable. It's just like the HBE production of last year's Olympia. That was dumbest thing I had heard in trying to build the growth of the sport. Bodybuilding.com has done it the right way and are very well on their way to revolutionizing the industry. The free broadcast of the upcoming Olympia was probably a no-brainer for DeLuca and crew. They will look on it as an investment for the future, and within 5 years, DeLuca will be the most powerful man in the industry.
