How about standing up for the promoter of the NPC USA.  He spent years building up his event and takes a huge risk every year to continue with hosting the event.  Why should he have to deal with someone trying to pull the rug out from under him. 

I would not have had a problem with his event if it wasn't on the same fucking weekend and same venue as the USA's. 

Hey Vince, four words:

LAY OFF THE CRACK!

1) Jon Lindsey did not "build up the event [USA]".........that is like saying the National Enquirer "built up the Olympia".

The  USA is the second largest amatuer show in the nation, and has been for 75 years. Jon Lindsey didn't build up jack shit Nice try.

2) Jon takes a "huge risk" promoting the USA???? Are you fucking high on GH or something?? Jon takes little to no risk at all on a Pro qualifier that is almost a century old. It is a piece of cake.

The USA event is much bigger than what it was prior to Jon Lindsey taking the reigns.  It may be the second largest show however no show is successful without promoting the event heavily every single year and bringing in new sponsors as supplement companies come and go.

Jon does take a risk every year in hosting the event.  Running a show isn't as easy as you think and nothing is garranteed.  That's what people thought about the AAU Mr America, the North American Championships, and of course the Masters Mr Olympia.  No promotion is garranteed

Jesus christ, Ben what the fucck.  Death threats?  This guy used to have some credibility, now I've got to question all the old 'stories' of his.

And Vince, you're a piece of shitt, nobody has an ounce of respect for you and you have a pathetic body that is quite possibly one of the worst on getbig.  Why you still post here is beyond me - everybody thinks you're a joke of a human - a joke of a businessman - a joke of a bodybuilder.  The fact you still post just means you feel the same way about yourself - you know you're a joke, and have taken no steps to rectify your shitt-stained reputation, if you can even call it that.  How'd it feel to get spit on by DA?  Hahahaha this isn't even an owning, you are a paradox, a self-owning entity.  

Hope this helps.   ;)

Dear Athletes and Officials,

After receiving several death threads within the last month and other series of negative things that have
what happened to us,we decided after carefully deliberating,to cancel the show. We do not take this lightly because we care about the Athletes but our personal safety is more important. Not only our personal safety, but as well of the participants. We consultat several people about our problem and finaly came to this dicision. I know I will loose our face over this and we put already $40000 in this show, which we will never get back but we still have our lives. No Bodybuilding show is worth to put your family or Athletes in danger.

All entry fees and ticket fees will be returned within 10 days.

Sincerely

B&A Production

Learn to spell.

My reputation is a lot better then Ben's.  Ben's lying about the show cost people a lot of money in non-refundable airline tickets and hasn't paid back all the competitors for their entrance fes.

No it is not.   Ben failed at a business venture.  You're a petty busybody who is trying to look important.  There is no honor in calling all of Ben's sponsors to get them to withdraw.  There is no honor in calling the office of the governor of another state to get them to rescind their letter.   You remind me of an 8 year old girl tattling (with glee) on her 10 year old brother.

he said 3 days ago that all refund checks will be sent in 10 days.

Until those 10 days have passed, is it fair to attack him for this?

Except that the 8-year-old girl has more balls - and probably more muscle - than Vince. 

Ben did fail, yes, but he's not going to be able to prove that he did *not* mislead the GetBig community...and the people who were allegedly coming in droves to do his show. 

I was rooting for him to pull it off, but at the same time, I was always skeptical of the cash he kept talking about.  If he'd never mentioned the exhorbitant prize money, this would be a total non-issue.

Ben clearly lied about the prize money and proceeded to mislead competitors and then 3 weeks from the event he cancels it.

A lot of competitors now have non-refundable airline tickets and hotel accommodations which is problably around 2k apiece.   

Ben needs to take responsibility for his actions for the scam he pulled.
