Steve Blechman is cheap !!

[uberman09]

No it isn't you moron.  BTW, business and people are two separate words

like you know anything about bodybuilding, business, or people hahahaha.

What a mental case.

[che]

Listen bodybuilding is the hardest sport in the world.

Hahhaaa  

I've  competed in 5 bodybuilding  shows , two first place in my class ,one 2nd, one 3rd  and  a 7th place,
I boxed for 7 years  40-5-5
Bodybuilding is a joke compared to a real sport.

[Luolamies]

The thing i find ridiculous about this whole thing is that some years ago MD was making huge noise about how they were one of the only mags to pay for the photoshoots and allways remembered to include "how FLEX never pays the athletes" and if more mags were more like them, this whole industry would be doing AWESOME!

north america is going the european way. First step is to import millions of third worlders in the main cities.

Very true!

[Mars]

we dont go under alone. we drag the american infidels with us in the ravine.

Listen I dont have Steve Blechman, but I didnt like what he did to Dave and John.Its was just wrong in every shape and form.
Shawn Ray, and Flex Wheeler is doing the same thing and they still have there jobs....Anyways Here is my point.
My athlete did a big spread in MD, and it was alot of pages.
Steve didnt pay the guy a dime!!!!
I was like WTF.
Steve has never had to struggle for money, not one second of his life.
He was given Twinlab.You got these poor athletes who dont make any money unless they get a contract.
Steve Charges something $10,000 per page per month to advertise in his magazine.Yet he puts these 5-10 page spreads on these athletes, and doesnt pay then a dime.Why not give the athlete atleast $500 or $1000 for his time.The athletes eats trains and works his ass off, and yu make money off of the athletes why not pay them?
Steve can I have free advertising in your magazine for free?
Hello no!!!! Bodybuilders, have alot of expenses, you got food, supplements,anabolics and everything else.
Bodybuilding is a very very expensive sport.Just eating costs $200 a week.
Steve Blechamn if you are going to charge supplement companies money to advertise in your magazine, then you should pay athletes for photo shoots.Steve $500 or even $1000 bucks is like $20 to you.
Your a friggin Multi-Millionaire, why not help a few guys out with some money.It is the right thing to do.You know it, I know, the athletes know it.

Why did your "athlete" agree to the photo shoot if he wasn't satisfied with the terms?

[GetItOnNY]

My athlete is not complaining ...He actually didn't say a word. FOR THE RECORD I am the one with the Problem not Robert.
I did however tell him if they want to have another photo shoot with them they should pay you.
I said Robert if they don't have a check in there hand or cash, just say no.
You work hard, you train hard, you should be paid for your efforts.
I also said to him,if my company can pay you and I am 25% the size of MD, then they can pay you.
The first photo, or photo shoot, is free, after that athletes should be paid.
Imagine walking in to Wal-Mart, or Smiths Food king, and spending $200-$250 per week on eating clean.
How far do you think you would get if you just walked out of the store,didn't pay for the food  and said, I got a 10 page spread in MD.So I have exposure.
Or when your mortgage payment comes.
Does your pics in MD pay your gas in your car, mortgage,car payment.Fu#$ no!!!!
Do you think the guy who sells you your anabolics will give you free gear because he saw your pics in MD?
fu#$# No!!!!!.
The free exposure is so overrated.I know alot of guys who did free photo shots and are still flat broke.
If your smart like Shawn Ray was you make people pay you for everything.
The sad thing about this whole post is Steve Blechman has more money then me and every pro bodybuilder combined.He has to be worth at least 20 -50 million, maybe more.
So $500, or even $2000 in like a $10 to the average person.

I think Blechman is a douche but does it matter how much money Blechman has? This is business. He's not going to lose money or make a shitty deal just because he has a big bank account. He's in it to make more money.

still, you're hurting him in a major way.  John, you're hurting Robert's name and chances for a deal by second-guessing one of the biggest men in BBing (blechman) like this.

it's very disrespectful, and yes, your words do reflect upon Robert.  You say you prepped him.  Prep guys can't badtalk a guy like Blechman and not expect it to hurt their guys. 

Shut up already, please.

And your company is 25% of of MD?

STFU and pay Robert what he needs and quit asking Blechman to do it. You have plenty by your own admission. You're just as cheap as Blechman. If I was Robert, I would make you pay up or quit using my name all over the place.

That would be smart of Robert.

Quit bitching! You are making a fool out of yourself.

Blechman is a buisnessman, plenty of people yourself included dropped out of the sport as it isnt a real professional sport. Guys like your athlete, to the people reading those mags are a dime a dozen and all of them are attention seeking ego maniacs in most cases, in so many cases that a whole industry of them can be exploited in such a way by schmoes like Blechman as they will pose for nothing. Seriously change your name to getoverit, its bodybuilding its always been that way and always will be, its a minority sport with very little following and anyone doing it pursuing wealth or even doing it as a job has in 99 percent of the time made a bad decision, bodybuilding should be most peoples hobby not their life

 

[GetItOnNY]

The problem with bodybuilding is there is only a few top guys making money...Thats why its a sports that is going to be dead soon.They cancelled the Iron Man pro, because they didn't sell enough tickets.
At least my company does what ever we can to help athletes.We pay them to travel, we pay them to appear, we pay them if you use them in an brochure.
Steve needs to pay people for photo shoots, and for photos.
Plus you got companies like Optimum Nutrition who only endorses George Farah and a couple of other people.You got Bsn who only Sponsors a Trey, Brandon and Ronnie.VPX, only endorses Brandon Ray, and 2 other people.
These big companies, can endorse more athletes, but they don't.
I give props to Muscle-Tech, because they sponsor alot of pro bodybuilders.If it wasn't for them half of the pro bodybuilders wouldn't be getting anything.
I also think that if you win Nationals or the USA, the overall winner should win $25,000.
This way it would bring in more guys, and the guy who wins and take that money and start a career.
Or the guy who wins gets a $100,000 contract with a big company like VPX OR BSN.For one year.
My point is the reason bodybuilding, isn't doing well is not many companies are endorsing athletes, so guys dont want to be pro bodybuilders.Unless you win the Mr Olympia your lucky to get $1000 if you do a pro show, and place out of the top 5.
If you win  the smaller pro shows the winer gets as little as $10,000.
Most guys spend more then that on food and drugs in 12 weeks in they are a good pro
In the NFL even a guy who sits on the Bench makes I think a minimum of $450,000 a year.
Mr Olympia, I think is only $100,000.

You have to be fucking delusional.

Do you not think, that a company like VPX would sponsor more bodybuilders if they thought it would make them more money.

If you are making so much money, YOU sponsor more bodybuilders, which in turn will get your supplements on the map even more, and you should make more money than you are now. I mean, you make it out to be so easy.

John you should get me in contest shape...I'm serious....PM me.

Joe, everyone agrees with you but we're all trying to tell you that Robert agreed to do the shoot on his own accord and that he should make the decision on his career choices and speak for himself.  Its not your place to speak on his behalf and ultimately you're hurting his changes to make some money.

He's his own man, he's not your property, you're not his manager.  Robert Burnekia is big enough errr massively huge enough to make his own decisions in life and you should be happy for him but stay in the far far background.  You don't see Oscar or Hany doing this and neither should you
