Chick, are you saying that every IFBB "pro" has been offered the same opportunities as you?
Yep, sure have. In a sport decided by individual talent and competition...it's up to the athlete to do the best with what they have. I was never going to challenge any of the top 5 for the Olympia, but excelled in other areas and utilized my skills to make a living from the sport.
You are so caught up in being the front man for the IFBB and not the "athletes" it has affected your judgement. It is obvious to most here that you spin any argument you can to make the IFBB look right in it's decisions, when in reality they are stopping some of the guys that aren't top 10 from making extra money.
If you're not in the top 15-20, it's pretty tough to make any real money anyways( at least from prize money) for the simple fact that people want the BEST, and the best will always get bigger money for obvious reasons...PDI was a great example of that, Le made money, so did Sami, St. Cloud...the BEST of what they had...the rest, made nothing....no different. It's not called "spin" it's called "REALITY".
If I find time, I will look for specific examples of wwe guys showing up and performing at smaller shows for you, OK?
You do that...good luck
One more question, noy being an ass, but how many times and what examples can you give, that would show you have gone to bat for specific people in the IFBB, not talking prize money, but who has run into trouble that you've helped out? Anyone?
Sure...
Silvio- had to negotiate for him not to get fined for pictures posted by Milos which violated his contract. RESULT: no fine
Don Long- although I didn't agree with his decision to compete again, I represented on his behalf tomake it a possibility. RESULT: he was cleared to compete
Lee- At his request, I went to bat and tried to get his suspension lifted the day of the AC Pro to alow him to compete. RESULT: rejected due to his previously rejecting offer to came back
Milos-Put together and submitted his official appeal to the suspension resulting from the Paul Chua allegation, this was done on MIlos' behalf as he was out of the country and couldn't be reached. RESULT: appeal rejected based on Milos' own previous admission of guilt
NUmerous other endeavors including submitting Silvio's name to the ASC as he was out of the country...and of course, numerous submissions/ proposals resulting in more money to pro's, more qualifying spots for the O, per diem increase, no declaration rule (for the women) judging changes (more rounds of comparison), etc, etc....
The cases documented here on getbig Lee, Milos..seem to point to you telling the bber to do what IFBB wants instead of you fighting the IFBB for bbers.
One more edit...by saying "how many of those pros are in the top 20"? does that mean pros out of the top 20 are subject to different rules? Thanks for your time.
PWNED!!
