I suppose the cameramen, photographers, and magazine writers are simply there for their health.
Besides, who needs ESPN? In this age of the Internet and Facebook, people would rather get the results immediately, instead of waiting three to six months for ESPN to air severely-edited footage of bodybuilding contests, as it did back in the days of American Muscle. And, you can watch the shows online, instead of waiting until the wee hours of the morning (again, MONTHS after the contest took place).
"press" means media........papers, magazines, television,
"press" in this case does not mean...........2 guys from bodybuilding magazines, and a bodybuilding photographer
i shouldnt have to explain this to you
as press conference is where media outlets cover a story for a event to be translated to the general public
no one in south flordia will be covering this event from any ACTUAL press
this serves more as a "meet the competitors" event
