most of the audience for the minor pro shows come from the local area. these promoters don't seem to do a very good job at targeting that group either.
I know, it baffles me. I would think you promote a show to make some $$ and put on a good event, etc.
Most of the lower tier pro events (with a very few exceptions) just seem to sit back and see who shows up.
Ironic how one of the best promoters is a mature , business lady who doesn't bodybuild (Pam Betz),go figure.
Imagine if the typical hardcore bodybuilder type ran a political campaign
They would try to impress the voters by flexing and if they laughed they would get them in a head lock or challenge them to a MMA cage fight LOL. Makes you realize just how rare Arnold really is??!!
