Half of the initially talked-about Euro events have not made it to the schedule.

According to http://pdiradio.com/pr/6.pdf (PDI Press Release #6), the following cities will get PDI shows:

Oct 20 - Kosice, Slovakia
Oct 21 - Budapest, Hungary
Oct 22 - London, England

There will be $30,000 up for grabs at each contest and the promoters are covering travel and lodging for several of the competitors.

Thanks Tre

Wrong again my dear photographer. The show has not been cancelled. I just got an email from Wayne and the MMA show (PPV) and the BB show are still on. The BB show and the MMA are not being held in the Expo. Is the Arnold or the Olympia held in the expo. NO. Have you ever been to these shows. The expos are separate. In fact the Olympia Expo is miles from the actual show. Really what s wrong with you. I swear does the IFBB issue dumbfuck drugs to you on a regular basis. You are dumb and dumber all in one. Like I have said all along, you are just a photgrapher. Please sitback and enjoy, but don't input, it makes you look really stupid. Keep hanging on to the sinking ship.

So is the MMA and the BB being held on the same night in the same venue?

Keith, you really need to learn to address your anger issues. There really is no need to insult people all the time.
Now let's get on with the debate.
It has been pointed out to you that the Floirida PDI and MMA event was PART OF THE EXPO. You denied it.
I mentioned that it was aways called an EXPO now you call me a "dumbfuck"
Well welcome to the gang Spiderman

Man thats a bad poster...

I don't understand why wayne is having ANY pro qualifiers except the one the night before the night of champions.

Anyone serious about qualifying would make the trek to new york anyway plus peaking for two shows 2 months apart is murderous.

Yes, bad poster, but that looks like a Goad/X-treme poster, not a DeMilia/PDI poster.

When he first began planning all of this, doing a series of low-level qualifiers seemed like a good idea. Things have changed, though, and whether it's a lack of available promoters or the fact that they're having success signing new pros *without* the qualifiers, they've opted to go in a different direction and to change the schedule around a bit.

So, you've made the right call and Wayne agrees - let the first qualifier happen right before the big premiere and that should provide the PDI with all the momentum it needs right from the very start.

For anyone that is interested....

It has been brought to my attention that the '06 X-Treme Expo (The James Goad/ Wayne DeMilia venture)...has been canceled. I assume this would also mean the "PDI" qualifier is canceled as well (just a guess).

R U their new spokes person?

Better listen again...I (and Dan) started to chime in, but King kept going, cutting us off....I believe Dan then wernt on to another piece...

Point being, The show wasn't about me debating King on what HIS opinions of Shawn are...

BTW...what does any of this have to do with the PDI/EXPO being canceled?

Chick,

what do you think of a pro bodybuilder coming onto your prestigious show to do nothing more than threaten to an "internet nobody" as you so aptly put it? Doesn't your friend have more to worry about than a message board? If you were muscletech would you still sponser a fully grown adult who threatens to fly all over the USA to beat up getbig board members?

I must be missing something. The expo has been cancelled according to Chic. And because the Expo is cancelled you are saying the PDI and MMA events are cancelled too. Let me get that straight first.

Yes, that's what he's saying. He has stated that the MMA and PDI events are considered a part of the Expo. Is this true? Please clarify.

Did that guy ever pay Darrem all his prize money?

It's not the same guy involved with the Xtreme EXPO PDI qualifier I hope?

James Goad is the past promoter of the IFBB Orlando Pro and was listed as the promoter of the Orlando X-treme event.

At the time of his appearance on Pro Bodybuilding Weekly, Darrem had not yet been paid.

If this guy still owes money to a competitor why is he being allowed to promote another show?

Doesn't matter if it's the IFBB or the PDI, a promoter not paying his contestants shouldn't be able to promote another show until all debts are settled from previous shows.

What a joke.

Well considering you're the IFBB Athletes Rep. not the PDI Athletes Rep. and in fact aren't a member of the PDI that's not really analogous now is it?

IMO, when you told the athletes to "make lemonade" then posted many times defending the once-again failed promoter WInston, who for some reason wasn't required to put down the same deposit that Mike had to, for the Charlotte Pro...

That was the cheap shot.

I hear what your're saying...but we (NPC/IFBB) have no control of what he does outside of the organization...it's Wayne's call if he wants him on the PDI team.

BTW...it's not just Darrem that is owed money...theres about $15-17K still outstanding to the top 5.

A lot of people were unhappy - and rightfully so - when this guy's name appeared as the promoter of an NPC event when money was still owed to IFBB competitors. I don't know whether that show ever happened, but then when he showed up as a PDI promoter, too, the PDI's public image took a hit.

I understand it's a catch-22 for him, but as a bodybuilding fan, I would not give that promoter one dollar knowing that he still owed money to past prize winners.
