2010 IFBB Ironman Pro is postponed

[Schmoe Buster]

Maybe all the schmoes are moving to the east coast?

That would explain Chicks move to Florida, he goes where the schmoes go

[bigdumbbell]

this is a shocking development

[Pecs]

Chick said that bodybuilding was more popular than ever 

Bodybuilding is popular in the sense that most gyms around the world are packed with people pumping away to look like arnie and stuff themselves with NOexplode and Nitrotech etc...

But as for WATCHING bodybuilding shows..... its another story.

[LatsMcGee]

this is a shocking development

Yes this will ruin our weekend. 

[musclecenter]

In 2010,11 IFBB Men's Pro contests only.

So Muscle you have us confused now are they having the Mens show in 2010 or not?

[240 is Back]

yeah, I can't throw a rock without hitting a schmoe, South FL is no doubt the capital.

"bodybuilding is bigger than ever"

[Tre]

Have you ever seen FIBO?

It's the largest bodybuilding and fitness show in the world and doesn't have a bodybuilding contest either, so maybe Fit Expo is about to really take off.

I think this is actually quite sad. That a 20 year old contest cant generate the intrest to stay afloat. I was there in 08 when Heath won, and there was only a handfull of people that had actually paid for tickets, (there were however more that attended the fit show).

I wonder what Chicks brilliant explanation is for this.   

[tendonitis]

This one is surprising.  Along with the Olympia and Arnold, the Ironman seemed like an institution.
How can there not be a pro show in So Cal? 

[kyomu]

 
Paco was going to enter it.

[Hellenic]

It would be nice to have an official press release.
It's very surprising that noone has stepped up to save the show (Muscletech, bb.com etc.)
Hopefully something will be done.
If the IRONMAN, one of the staples in bb shows is cancelled, should we expect further cancellations of smaller shows too??
How can the athletes start their preparation like this, worrying their show may get cancelled any day?

[Special Ed]

Paul Dillet's WBFF is bringing a Pro Men's Division to the USA in 2010 and he is in discussions to make the Ironman a WBFF CONTEST. Great idea.

[Ex Coelis]

maybe 20 years was enough and they felt it was time to move on?

[Stavios]

The only  problem with Paul Dillet's WBFF is that the quality of the competitor sucks ass

worst than the PDI

I talked to John Balik this morning at length. A Press Release will be posted soon.

Why dont you wait till the official press release is posted before making assumptions?

As for any "brilliant explanations"....why would I need one?, I dont promote the show...

Well... In the past you have interjected yourself into threads concerning other failed IFBB shows/issues, and you make ridiculous statements like, ""The numbers don't add up," or "Pro Bodybuilding is doing better then ever," (Despite not being a promoter, like you said.)

I wouldn't be giving you a hard time, if you hadn't made a precedent of talking out of your ass.

[Chick]

You just dont seem to get it, do you?  YOU'RE the one talking out of your ass, as you have NOTHING to do with the industry...

And yes, when the numbers DONT add up, any smart promoter will pick up their ball and go home....what other factors are there to consider when assessing the success/ failure of a show?

As for bodybuilding doing better than ever...what proof do you have that its not?

 New shows have replaced others that werent viable, Jr. Nats, USA, Nationals all have record numbers this year...Olympia had it's biggest attendance in hstory/ expo was huge.

feel free to spout your insight

So Chick I guess that Ironman Magazine the sponsor has not put any money up for the show correct?

[Bix]

Cheap fuckers, they don't really love bodybuilding. They're just leaches on it

Only if they signed the contract and sent it in to the pro league office...I wouldnt know if they did or didnt.

Why is this relevant?
