Did you even read my posts? It would only cost Nasser about $300 in airfare and a few hundred more in other expenses total, which is peanuts, and even still there were a few people within the industry that offered to personally cover Nasser'e expenses, so obviously money was not the issue, it's a matter of principle that the promoters should be formally inviting and covering those expenses. Not only expenses, but the time it takes to try to book a hotel in Columbus near the show (which has to be done well in advance), not being summoned before the show as to when you will be going onstage, where to go, etc. Like I said, it was unorganized, and not thoughtful to the athletes unlike would be the case in other sports.
I certainly read your post. But did you read mine?
I guess you and Nasser expect the world on a plate or something?!?! Nasser won ONE Arnold Classic. That's it, count it with one hand even though you're missing 3 fingers and a thumb. ONE contest and he cannot pay for his own trip there?
Compare Nasser's one win, with Gaspari's single win, Ashley's win, Taylor's win, or the multiple wins of Cutler, Flex, Levrone.....
Yet they were all on stage.
So why should every person bow to Nasser like he's some God amongst mortals because he won one contest and he didn't like the way it was casually spread word of mouth that he should have been on stage. That's unprofessional in and of itself!
I don't know what you are smoking BigBobs, or how much you're getting paid per letter to defend Nasser, but many of the rebuttals you come up with and the fact that you reply to 2/3rd's of the posts on here regarding Nasser....time to wake up.
