Yes the IFBB signs people to contracs but the contract equates to $0 for many of them. In this situation the IFBB is worse cause they not only put you under contract, charge you money to join but they also forbid you to make money any other way except with the IFBB. IFBB contracts are worth NOTHING. At least the PDI is offering the athletes prize money. And as the shows grow so will the money. Sponsorships are also available. I'm pretty sure Jack is getting paid now from being a BB with the PDI
I guarantee you Vince has made more money dropping PDI then he did during his time with the Federation.
How much money do you think Vinny made?
And oh yea how about Lee Priest has the PDI made or lost him money?
Rhino is in a no lose situation with the PDI.
At least the PDI is offering the athletes prize money.
And this make no sense.
Every group offers prize money all way from the city comps up to your hated IFBB.
