I would have to say that the Olympia was at most 75% sold out. Does anyone have the official figures?
What would it take for bodybuilding to go mainstream? No, I'm just kidding asking that.
Bodybuilding is a niche industry, but I was still surprised to see so many empty seats at the finals.
bodybuilding isnt goiing mainstream.....ever.....
...so we can stop wasting our breaths
as a matter of fact, the people who run the IFBB/NPC almost certainly dont want it going mainstream........becasu
e taking it mainstream would turn the sport on its ear......if the sport was mainstream..........it would be opened up to mainstream steroid scrutiny...........and the leaders like the manions and the weinbergers and the weiders would be exposed and not only allowing , but encouraging a culture the doesnt only permit, but is based on steroids use
it would mean a shake-up........complete re-organization, and heads rolling..........the leaders of the industry dont want that.........they are making money, they run the sport like gangsters.........if the sport went mainstream, all this would end
if bodybuilding went mainstream suddenly, bodybuilding as we know it will end
