chick is probably the guy who profited the most from a BB career without having as much lost.
(Risk vs Reward)
made money for himself over the years in BB. didn't compete all that much as a pro. (well, he spent alot of time chasing pro-card

but he got it!

)

he's a spokesperson for BB.com + other endorsements. bb talk radio, emceeing olympia + other shows...the fit show series...war for the worlds, etc.

so in the end...he's probably gonna keep making money without having to put his health at risk, by doing show, after show. thats amazing if you ask me!

Bob, on this show I pointed out the benefits of the Athlete's Representative keeping all contracts on file for review (only by other Athletes or their representatives) and also pointed out certain negotiation principles of which the foundation is having as much credible information as possible. I was wondering if you were open to this idea.

I also discussed the sad, but real, prospect that most Pro Bodybuilders are woefully unprepared to deal with life and finances beyond bodybuilding and suggested the concept of a 'Mentorship' whereby you could facilitate for a Pro nearing the end of his career a mentorship with a successful former Pro Bodybuilder (i.e. Labrada, Gaspari, etc.) to learn and develop the business knowledge needed for success beyond the stage. What are your thoughts?

Unfortunatly, your second thought answers to why the first will never fly....

That said, I have made myself available to all pro's for advices....many have used my resources...many have not. The choice is theirs.

As I've summed up many time....tough to save people from themselves, sometimes.

Bob,

I still don't get why you don't see the benefit of a contract database. In the past 6 months, I've spoken with several pro and high-level amateur bodybuilders who have no idea what others are making and what (or if) they should be charging for appearances, photoshoots, and sponsorship opportunities.

None of the Pros know what others are making unless they see the contracts with their own eyes. I suggested that only those who submit their own signed or proposed contracts to the database would be permitted to review contracts on file.

I had several bodybuilders thank me after last night's show for providing them with some real and estimated figures, but wouldn't you agree that they should be getting this information from a more authoritative source such as the IFBB Athlete's Representative?

Why the resistance for a voluntary service that could only help your fellow brethren?
