Is the IFBB Euro grand Prix cancelled?

[Livewire]

any word on these shows? someone posted earlier that ronnie said the shows weren't happening?

[Captain Slin]

yeah i think they are definitely cancelled.

they dont turn out to be real good shows anways in my opinion. its just ronnie and jay coming down from the olympia more bloated etc doing a few more shows and recieving love from european fans. maybe one or 2 stars compete with them and thats all.

According to Chic the IFBB doesn't cancel shows.  The are the biggest and can't do wrong.  This must be false.

A sure sign that bodybuilding is unfortunately dying.

Yes you are right.  The IFBB gets there fee up front puts the show on the schedule and then when the promoter can't get the tickets sold or the sponsors or competitors he is forced to cancel the show.  I was wondering does the IFBB return the fee to the promoter.  Cause why would they schedule an event unless everything was in place.  Just wondering

Its great that you question things but its obvious why they wouldn't give the sanction fee back.  There has to be a penalty applied to people who say they're going to have a show and don't come through with the goods.

Bob, a few questions.

I went to the www.ifbb.com site and there is no mention of Mr. Olympia on the calendar? Instead they are pushing the world bodybuilding championships in Korea. I mean, what the hell? Not even a small mention somewhere?

And what does "soonly available" mean in the search box?

As the sanctioning body you would think they would care enough about their members to verify everything is in place so they wouldn't go through all the trouble and money to get into shape for the events.  Instead if you call them with nothing but the sanction fee in hance they will take it and don't care if you put on a show or not.........they got there money.

ifbb.com is about amateur bodybuilding, http://ifbbpro.com is the one you're looking for.  but you'd think they would have a link on ifbb.com

Damn. Got those mixed up. Not a usual place for me to go to.

Still, they have a picture of Markus Ruhl on the frontpage (have to wait for a few seconds for it to come on). I think it's been a while since he was an amateur.
