Bring back the European Grand Prix shows!
« on: October 08, 2007, 10:21:27 AM »
If only the IFBB had run the Grand Prix shows this year.  Can you imagine?  Wolf and Dex and Victor would have had a great chance to beat the reigning Mr. Olympia, who only squeaked by this year.

Chick, how about a push to get the IFBB to add the Grand Prix shows back into the IFBB Pro contest schedule again?  They are sorely missed and would have added a lot to this year's schedule.

it's just a matter of economics.  if the promoter believed he could make money, he'd hold the show.  the only thing the IFBB could do to improve the economics would be to reduce the sanction fee.  how likely is that?

The IFBB doesn't dictate whether a show s taken off the schedule, nor does the promoter (for the most part)...the FANS do. The Fans dictate what they are willing to support, and what they're not...unfortunatly, they weren't that willing to support the European shows...
