American Media, Inc. Announces Amazon.com as “Official Retail Sponsor” of 2015 Olympia Fitness & Performance Weekend

NEW YORK, August 20, 2015 /PRNewswire/ - American Media, Inc. (AMI) today announced that Amazon.com would be the official retail sponsor of the world famous Olympia Fitness & Performance weekend in 2015 – which is likely to be the highest attended weekend yet.
The 2015 Olympia Weekend is ‘Presented by’ title sponsor Ultimate Nutrition and will be ‘Brought to you’ by our new official retail sponsor Amazon.com. It consists of the Mr. Olympia bodybuilding competition and the Fitness & Performance Expo. Mr. Olympia offers fans a chance to see the world’s greatest bodybuilders in action. At the Expo, men and women with a passion for health and fitness can discover the latest nutritional supplements and try the newest workout gear. With a record setting 55,000 in attendance and over 1,000 exhibitor booths last year, the event continues to grow as even more fans and brands are expected in 2015. The Expo and competition will be held in Las Vegas at the Las Vegas Convention Center and the Orleans Arena on September 17-20.

The Amazon.com Olympia Fitness & Performance Weekend sponsorship will include a considerable amount of features. For the Mr. Olympia competition, Amazon.com will be the exclusive sponsor of the live video stream, which generated 4 million views last year. And along with Ultimate Nutrition’s logo, the Amazon.com logo will be positioned alongside the official Olympia logo wherever it is displayed at the Orleans Arena and LVCC, including the main stage at the Expo where popular contests such as the Bikini Model Search, Men’s Model Search, Kick Boxing and the Strongman Challenge are held.

“With Amazon being the world’s premier online retailer, we couldn’t think of a better retail sponsor for the Mr. Olympia weekend. Amazon has shown a great appreciation for the sport of bodybuilding and the culture that has grown with it,” said AMI Chairman, CEO and President David Pecker. “This is a win-win for everyone, as Amazon will surely strengthen its presence amongst the fitness community while Olympia gets the ultimate retail sponsor.”

Probably a good move on Amazon's part. Bet Mr. Olympia LLC. was getting antsy in their pantsy when Bodybuilding.com dropped them.

Unless, this has been in the talks for a good long while now... which is unlikely because our local "insider" would have informed us by now.

I'm willing to bet this was in the works for a while and IFBB intentionally high balled bb.com so they can be dropped. Just gossip and opinion though.

the word "fitness" in the title really makes it seem less hardcore. But I guess they have no choice to go this route.

I wonder if Amazon would have any say in how the production goes...

In any regard, this is the biggest thing for bodybuilding since Gunter upset Ronnie over a decade ago.

I bet the press conference will reach WWE EPIC Proportions this year. Phil is on the edge and I bet the fans are going to be in there screaming for blood.

"BROOKLYN STAND UP YO!" LMAO

Amazon is going to destroy BB.com's previous attempts. No doubt. Good for the Olympia.

What a relief. I didn't know how I was going to schmoe properly this year. Maybe they can get Wolf to launch an ad campaign for their flying drone service. With his charm and Amazon's capital...who knows how big that could be.
