When Wayne DeMilia had his 'differences' with the IFBB, and eventually went their separate names, Wayne had the rights in the US to the name Night of Champions, and I think also Pro Division. Which is why the IFBB did not use that name, and Steve Weinberger used the New York Pro.

In 2005, that was the first year for the New York Pro. It was held at the Tribeca, holds about 900-1000 seats or so. The City Center, where Wayne held the last one, held about 2,500 seats. Yes - there was a difference in how many people can go to the show.

The situation last year in interesting, as that was the first New York Pro. Let's see what surprises will be in store for this years New York Pro, besides King Kamali and many others going to compete in it.

Ron you are such a suck, every one says that last years NY show was no where near the show the NOC used to be and you know it, so why dont you just say it !!!

Buy all accounts though the new show doesnt hold the same presteige as when Wayne had it , or the glamour that went with it and that I think is the key piont to any show held in the Big Apple !!

What ever the cost of the Theater was , Wayne Demilla managed to make it work for him, the money saved by moving it from the Beacon obviously hasnt gone into a more elaberate production or a raise in the prize purse !!!

Yeah--but he took a loss in the last two NOCs

If he was smart every show would have run at a loss after it had paid out his huge salary or contract fee !!!

And remember - the New York Pro show is NOT formerly the NOC. To completely different shows. I'm hoping no Persian/Mexican food items will be showing up.

I live in Brooklyn and would love to attend this.
Can someone provide a link or url?

Wait no more.
Wayne has confirmed the new Pro Division starts this year with 5 to 6 shows.
The first show is the Night of Champions this September. Pros from the US and around the world will be able to compete.
Here is the best part, amateurs that have won their class at a National Amateur show will be able to petition for a Pro card and compete at the NOC.
As for the new MMA organization, there it is at the Arnold. This new organization is to compete head to head with the UFC and is currently taking some atheletes from the UFC.
