I guess I just can't see why you continually dispute the relevance of these economic principles which apply in every other business model in America.  

I make a point that competition between firms is good for athletes.  You attack the new competitor.  An athletes rep in ANY other sport would be thrilled to have a competing org. appear out of nowhere.  A bargaining chip falling out of the sky!

I guess I just see this as an opportunity that you can't shoot in the foot fast enough, and I don't get it.  


yeah okay ;D

hahahahah.  Im just trying to think of any other sport where people die and get serious health problems, yet the people in charge do nothing but continue to promote the very behavior that is threatening it all.

They are in denial and delusional....I hope they all fail...PDI and IFBB.  They deserve it if they cannot see the problems.

I wish I could get an answer on this.  Why?

Great thread! Now my two cents...

1. I didn't think the PDI had any credibility even before this announcement. But even PDI-cheerleaders (I'm looking at you, 240!) will have to admit that the withdrawal is a serious blow to an organization that was already struggling. At this rate, I would not be at all surprised to see the NOC cancelled - "nearly sold out" or not. Whether you would choose to mourn or celebrate is up to you.

2. The problem with even a Wal-Mart/mom-and-pop analogy is that it presupposes an effectively limitless consumer base that could support both (and others besides). Even if you make the completely unproven assumption that the IFBB's head-up-assedness has left significant amounts of bodybuilding interest untapped, the Chickster is right on this at least: there is barely enough supplement-company sponsorship money coming in to support even the one monopoly federation. Even if the PDI could stagger along for a while, it would only be diluting what is already weak tea.

3. I agree that the changes to the Olympia prize money are nothing to soil one's trunks over. But it's a little better than nothing - and the bodybuilders probably wouldn't even have that if someone hadn't hassled the IFBB about it. So whatever credit is due should go to the athlete's rep - stooge though he may be - who, last I heard, wasn't being paid a penny for his trouble. So bust Bob's balls for keeping the Masters title that should have gone to Rusty Jeffers if you like - but I'd ease up on him about this at least.

4. I think it's time to rename the NOC to "A Night with Lee Priest and Friends". If you agree, you can send your suggestion to Wayne at the PDI's free e-mail address. [snicker...]

I don`t hate bodybuilding.  I just hate the current state of stupidity and denial and ignorance of today`s bodybuilding.

I still have hope that it will change one day.

JACK....THANK YOU

That was not cool.....

Yes I was training sunday and injured my left bicep, I have a partial tear in the tendon, no big deal...but need to rest it for 4-6 weeks.

Let me clear this up....

FIRST about the money....anyone can use the extra money

Second...Jack I was serious about placing 2nd or 3rd, and I was only worried about 3 other competitors, and it was Sami, TJ, and the guy Andre's.

NOT YOU....

Jack....you said i'm your bro, your buddy.....LOL

Also....some of the PDI guys that you talk to, call me and say they think your a JACKASS with your big EGO, but I have defended you and said that you are a cool guy....and that its just a front.
WELL... I WAS WRONG.....LOL

Is the Sami your referring to the member of team "the game" 

if so i agree, he looks like he'll place high, in fact 2nd or 3rd for him is not out of the question.  I would say 1st, but priest is competing.   

while you are out of the noc, what about the other shows that plan to follow?  are you commiting to them?  best of luck.

Because the speculation is that he backed out to go back to the ifbb. I am sorry Vinny, but I have to do this. According to Vinny, he tore is biceps tendon. This is the reason why he is not competing, not because he is doing the usa's or some other show. He e-mailed me yesterday telling me that he can't train for 4-6 weeks so he is out. He also said he had himself in 2nd or 3rd and that he was bummed because he could use the money. He then e-mail me again and asked me to keep it quite and vague, because it is his personal business and wants to keep it private. Why? I am sorry Vinny, but your actions and need explaining, because I for one, will not stand by, and watch everyone gloat. Unless there is another reason that I don't know why you would want to keep it quite???????
if he wanted to keep it quiet you should do that as a friend.

what a ratt ass douchebag!

240 keeps insisting that PDI is going to be 180 degrees from the IFBB I disagree , you'll have Lee Preist dominating all the PDI atheletes in the same manor Ronnie does in the IFBB nothing changes .
