If I sent out ever RUMOR in bodybuilding I'd be lighting up people's phones and they'd be pissed that I was "spamming" them.
Then why do you market Musclephone as providing the latest "News,
Gossip and Contest Results"?? On the MD Boards, several MD employees have alluded to a MD/Heath signing. Will Musclephone be honest with its customers and deliver the latest gossip or are you personally worried about upsetting someone?
What does how much Phil does or doesn't make have to do with Muscle Phone? I don't nor does any one else disclose the terms and dollar amounts of their contacts.
Last time I checked ESPN and other text messaging services they provided news of contract signings and included dollar amounts. Is Musclephone a "bodybuilding news service" or not?
You're not even a subscriber to Muscle Phone ya tight ass so why would you care? You live on getbig remember?
Somehow I think I'm going to survive without a 3:26 am text message from Musclephone that Phil Heath has switched from dumbbell curls to cable curls. And are you suggesting you don't live on Getbig and that you just happened across my post and replied within 3 minutes? Or does
your Musclephone alert you to Special Ed posts?
I was relying on the "Big Nation Network" to be the ones to provide these ground breaking details you speak of. Why is it we've yet to hear anything from your show regarding contracts and dollar amounts?
Probably because when I ask sources like you to reveal what you know, you insist that it's "off the record" and make me promise not to repeat it on Big Nation Radio!

Open disclosure of Professional Bodybuilder salaries and contracts ONLY HELPS other Pro Bodybuilders negotiate their own contracts. That is precisely what all Pro Sports unions do. Even without a union, how difficult would it be for each contracted bodybuilder fax a copy of his current contracts to Athlete Rep Bob Cicherillo to keep on file and make available to other Bodybuilders for use in negotiating their own contracts?
The only ones whose interests are served by keeping dollar amounts private are: (a) The companies underpaying their bodybuilders; and (b) The bodybuilders lying about their contracts.
Example: Muscletech asks prospective signees "How much are you looking for?" and just waits for a schmuck to say "Just 'promotion' in your ads and maybe some free product."
True Story: Several years ago, Milos and I were having a discussion about bodybuilder salaries. He mentioned that he was currently making $85,000 a year from his Weider deal. When I expressed surprise, he immediately offered to fax it to me. As contrasted with other Pros who told me they were making "six figures" and then refused to send me a copy.
Anyway, I do have several Muscletech and other contracts on file. I will post them on request, unlike Musclephone.
