Some of you might be aware that there is a very large possibility that 240 has taken money/favours* from Wayne to hype PDI here. I've suggested that this could be the case before - I know he is willing to take money to do so.
As you all know, I worked with a few PDI guys and are working with more in the future to ensure they have a great online presence. And Wayne is a smart guy, and I look fwd to working with him in the future, but my agenda in all of this is very clear:
BBing industry growth. I support the IFBB as long as its not a greedy monopoly. I support the PDI as long as it's giving the IFBB a run for its money. If a new womens federation or another mens federation came to life, I'd be busting my ass to grow that too. And, if the PDI was the only cart in town, I'd be working with people to grow a new federation to keep everyone honest and things fair.
I hold no loyalties other than to the growth of the sport itself. A monopoly is bad, no matter who holds the keys- Manion, or anyone else, Wayne included. Competition keeps the bosses honest and accountable, and more money to the athletes.
