Wow, he's pretty pissed off at the Pariso's.

So they asked for press passes for the IFBB Atlantic City pro show, and were denied. This was the reply Dave got back

"We now own our own media content and we want to drive all traffic to our own social sites. Therefore, at this time, we are not granting press passes"

The Ronfather don't need no stinking press pass.

First Gary Udit's $1,500 press pass tariff and now this. Bodybuilding is adding black eyes galore by shutting out their own media outlets.

ritch · « **Reply #17 on:** August 17, 2015, 09:54:38 AM »

they want people to pay $1500 to cover bb'ing???

that is the biggest early april fool's joke ever.

Way to self sabotage a dying activity/cult...

What a breaking-news report!

Anyway ... this "sport" doesn't know how to win. Everyone's always trying to push everyone else out of the picture ... in long-term service of absolutely NO ONE. Back when I worked at MuscleMag, we'd be endlessly frustrated to not be able to interview so-and-so because he had a contract with so-and-so.

Limiting exposure through diverse media is such a terrific way to build business/celebrity (re: sarcasm).

Bodybuilding, as a legit professional pursuit, has had its day. The industry ruined any potential almost as soon as that potential had even a hint of possibility.

It truly is all drugs, unhealthy lifestyle and mountains of fart powder.

why cover bodybuilding shows?

why not instead have a camera man following dorian yates around for a few months, black and white photos from his gym and then photos of his wife

Great points. Exclusive contracts are inhibitive as it is, but now the media outlets that want to cover these boring shows will not even have the opportunity to do so.

I am so glad that I have decided to forego the competitive side of bodybuilding with my magazine and concentrate on the lifestyle angle and what the others feel are too controversial for their publications.

Smart move.

We often talk about how poorly bodybuilding is run. Yes they may be making money now and most of it is on the shattered dreams of these wanna be NPC Physique and Bikini people...BUT things could be run so much better. This is such a fringe and cult activity. It would be best to have several outlets reporting on shows and such to get different perspectives and drive interest. Social media helps us get into the day to day life of people but there's a lot more that could be done.

It's like they are in the dark ages.
