The B&A Show -

[Meltdown]

Good to see so many sponsors only means the Show will get better.Chick wishes Ben all the best for his show he has said it heaps of times throughout this thread.

How is it you put up more Money than the IFBB Pro Grand Prix shows???You must be doing something Right.

Quite a few countries put up more money for amateur events that IFBB pros recieve. Tim Fogarty can confirm this, there have been cases of $100,000+ payout to amateur[s?] in Asia, my nation itself pays out for national title wins [not 100k mind you lol]. Europe pays out $20 - $40k at times, Middle East dishes good cash, and Australia and New Zealand have had $10k payouts each already this year to amateurs.

To me, Ben is just bringing to the USA what many of us "amateurs" worldwide already enjoy - money for winning lol.

those are governments giving out prizes to their athletes, usually for placing well in international competitions.  the governments are not involved with promoting or hosting the shows.

the question was how does an independent promoter (B&A) give more prize money than do major promoters in the IFBB.   Obviously he has lower overhead, most significantly no sanction fee to the IFBB corporate office.  Don't need to provide hotel rooms to top IFBB officials, etc.

 Plus like you said no flying in judges, hotel rooms, per diem etc.  A lot lower overhead.  He can pass this savings onto the competitors like it should be.  Exact opposite to what the IFBB  does.

you? you? calling me a looser? The biggest looser and most ridiculous Bodybuilder (I would not even call you that but hey we have to call you something like,easy workingouter?sometimes dumbel toucher?has been in the gym now and then............) When was the last time you won a BB competition?
Let me guess................... ...never!!!!
You always come in last place!!!

I won 32 competitions -------------------------   Ben won 32 times - Vince won nothing!!! mmhhhhh

Ben Goodrum is the ONLY person anywhere that considers himself a bodybuilder.  ROn who owns Getbig doesn't even consider Goodrum a competitor.  It has been proven that Vince "The Black Fag" Goodrum only enters the contests to see guys up close in small trunks hoping to get a free shot of a falling nut or hopefully getting asked to rub on Protan.  He is a joke, just take him that way like everyone else.  And we can easily figure out who is deleting your posts.  You have to remember your show is a threat to the NPC and IFBB so like any other pussy they will do what they can to stop or at least hurt your show.

[ILuvPriest]

Met Ben earlier this year great guy really cares about competitors.Unlike the NPC/IFBB who does it hurt letting people who wanna compete friggin compete? Didn't NPC/AAU already go to court over crap like this.
Love how the NPC is telling it's competitors to stay away from this show....Get a f ukin Life NPC and let people compete it's not all about you ASSHOLES.I say if your a memebr of the NPC and you  do the USA why not do this show as well ?you will be in shape already.
What to scared to get black balled from NPC? ohhhh PLEASE ! Its about time you competitors starting calling the shots the NPC needs you and your money...What do they do for you?
Out of all NPC competitors how many of you are really going to go pro and make a living from it? So why not do Ben's show ..? NPC/IFBB will keep walking all over you as long as you let them..."WE THE PEOPLE"= "WE THE COMPETITORS"

[Tre]

Ben - No matter how much his inbred ass tries to bait you, you have to take the high road and ignore Goodrum.  He exists only for our entertainment. 

He's GetBig's - and now MD's, too - official whipping boy.

me -

lookin' good, man

N*gga, I've only done 2 NPC shows and I'm only getting started. 

Thanks to the Colgan Institute advice of utilizing glucose polymers after training as well as cutting out the low calorie diet, my next show should move me from 2nd place to 1st

Vince, thanks for the laugh....you can always go into stand up when you BBing "career" ends......

You already checked to make sure no one else is in the weight class?

[Meltdown]

Ben stick to running your Great show and don't worry about the Clowns like Goodbum and Chick they are FOOLS and most here know that.How long till your show we will keep it up in the news on this board sort of a backfire for the threat made to you and your show.

I don't care who's in that division, they are going to get their asses kicked.  I've upgraded quite a bit in the past 2 years and even at the O, people did realize that I packed on the muscle mass. 

When its all said and done, I'll be headed to the Nationals.  Be sure to take pictures

I hate to take the bait, Melvin, but you are not serious, are you?

This is an inside joke or something?

32 wins.  Are you or have you received your IFBB pro card?

I'm not fucking around anymore.  I've thrown some Emeril on my training and kicked it up to full gear.  Nothing but freeweights with a touch of cables

[Vince G, CSN MFT]

As far as any NPC national competitors are concerned, let me say it again

If any NPC athletes decide to compete at the B & A show, then you are putting your amatuer status and chance of being an IFBB pro in serious if no FATAL jeopardy.
 


If you want to throw all of your dreams of being an IFBB pro over "A CHANCE" of winning a crummy bicycle then go right ahead.
