Where is my flyer?

There are quite a few impressive guys from Europe coming to compete.
I received postcards every month for the last 5 or 6 months. Unfortunately, I cannot make the trip to NY.
If the show is run well, the judging fair, and there are some good competitors...then its a very good start! The PDI is not looking to upstage the IFBB, especially in its infancy. Its looking to provide another good organization with slightly different ideals for BBers to compete!

I believe this show is going to be very worthy. We will all finally be able to see if there is really any hype out there worth taking intrest in. I am way more excited for this show than the Montreal Pro.

I never saw any of their poster or flyers. Can you post some?

I would, if I knew how. Maby somebody will stop by the store who knows how and it will be done.

I find it Highly amusing how poorly These people Market these shows.

Not suprising though considering what type of people compete in these things.

How much marketing do you need to fill a small theatre with a bunch a boneheads from NY?

I'd get out more if I was you. Wayne has more than 20 gyms with posters and selling tickets in the New York area. In fact a couple NPC promoters are helping him. He has full page ads in something called the Village Voice and some other magazine that you probably read and look at. Was wondering you must not be too hardcore. Have you ever been to the Olympia or any IFBB show in the past 20 years. There is a helluva mailing list flyers are being mailed to every month for thepast 6 months. Anyone who has been to a pro show and was on the mailing list got these. As a hardcore fan you would think you were on this list. opps, maybe you are you are a hardcore reader of BB magazines not actual shows

The show is just fine. Nice try though.

It's true...I do need to get out more. But I have been to the Night of Champions, the Arnold and the Olympia several times. I work out at New York Sports Clubs (15 NYC locations), which doesn't have any flyers. I walk past the Town Hall theater once a week. No signs or flyers. I don't read the Village Voice anymore. It's pretty much a gay newspaper with 1 or 2 good stories. The Town Hall box office reported that less than 50 tickets have been sold. Maybe they're expecting huge walk-up numbers. Anyone can verify the lack of ticket sales by going to Ticketmaster and seeing how close to the stage the available tickets are under "Best Available". Check for yourself. Claims of "nearly sold out" are a huge crock o' shit.

I must say that I am impressed with some of the physiques that have been posted in this thread. If Lee and TJ show up, it should be a competitive show. Quite frankly, I think that the lack of "names" is the reason for the slow ticket sales. Wayne really should have made a greater effort to sign current IFBB pros instead of adopting a "I'll let them come to me" approach. Signing a couple of New York-based IFBB disenchanted out-of-the-loop pros like Caprise Murray, Jason Arntz, and Rodney St. Cloud would have brought the numbers substantially up.

I hope the PDI is successful. Anyone wanna meet up at the theater?

I thought NYSC got out of the business of helping to promote BB shows a long time ago. Has that changed?

That dude zoros has some crazy vascularity ,too much though blurs the muscle .cutler has almost zero vascularity in his arms and his arms still look sick.

Is that dude really that big, or is that just trick photography??

If he really is as big as those pics make him look, he'll be getting a call from Joe Weider within the next 30 days.

And it would only take him 3-4 years of paying his dues to get placed properly! Awesome.

The day before the NY Pro ticketmaster had less than 10 tickets sold. the olympia as of last month had less than 100 tickets sold. Not a good way to measure sales

That is the funniest line of shit I've heard all year from you Keith.

You're pretty quiet these days, make sure you have a life preserver that will fit you when your ship sinks.

No way not according to Kevin, Issac, Chic or Sean. PDI pros are shitty and no way could be an IFBB pro. That's so funny cause the majority of the guys competitng could easily win an IFBB show in the states. Frey could easily place in top five in any IFBB show.

hifrommike · « **Reply #47 on:** September 09, 2006, 12:53:34 PM »

The problem is that European competitors don't get a fair shake from American IFBB judges & they know it. I can't tell you how many times I've seen it happen. They may think that the PDI will give them a better chance to place high. They all know that having a rep in the US will benefit them. I was astounded when I saw some recent NABBA European athletes at their pro shows (on DVDs). Some of these guys are as big as (or bigger than) American pros, & they pose a hell of a lot better than most American pros do as well.

You will never here me call any athlete "shitty".
Who do you consider to be better than Frey as you claim he could only place in the top 5 of an IFBB show whereas the majority could win.

I never called the PDI "pros" shitty. Sami could hold his own on the IFBB stage. Frey is a big dude as well. Let's see who actually gets on stage first before claiming the majority of them could "easily" win an IFBB show.

Be sure to take a photo of the crowd, as you proclaimed it was going to be sold out for months now.

It's okay to admit when you're wrong Keith. We'll be here waiting for your excuse.
