It's 2015 and bodybuilding is still stuck in the 70s in so many regards, streaming, investment in shows, lighting, promotion, coverage etc.

Is bodybuilding the only sport where you pay them to be a pro? Lol

What is that made of? It looks like it's on cardboard or just some kind of stock lol.

Shit, my printer can make more professional looking cards than that....maybe I'll be an IFBB Pro later on today lol

Then again I would be happy with that in my wallet

 

[PTPT]

But still they could of at least laminated it

 

[asteelz]

Looks like they made it on Vista print

Wtf....

How sad...All the hard work and sacrifice. The absolute torture it takes to get there. Then....bend over and pay the price...year after year after year. Why do you think they give so many pro cards away now. That's a source of revenue. Think of all the cards issued. Why do you think they developed the bikini and men's physique. Mo money, mo money, mo money. Is it possible to find out how many active members of the IFBB exist? Multiply that by 300.00. Certain people in the IFBB are doing very well on the backs of the athletes. If you don't intend to compete, don't renew your card. Screw them. You are still a pro. But if you want to continue to pay up...then by all means do so.

You would think once you crossed over to the IFBB there would be an exemption.....imagine what the NPC brings in at a $120 a pop. Easily over 25,000 current/active members in the NPC.

Once you get a pro card, it should be for life, no charges going forward. Make it much more difficult to get one and more meaningful to have one.
This is such a racket, a cash cow for those benefiting from it. Is it really so hard to see.

Mens physique, bikini, Figure have ruined the prestige of a pro card anyway. Hundreds and hundreds of them. There just handing them out it seems

 

[Prada]

Jim and Tony must be rich. :lightbulb:

 

[concreteguy]

Truth be told?
The cost is priceless.
It's made of something less than 1% of humans will ever touch.


I wonder if Coleman, Hany, Yates, Everson ever complained about the lack of lamination?

I'm willing to bet, they never paid going forward. Certain that are blessed, have a free pass.

Do you know many men named Dawn?

Are there that many of us that does not see what a scam this is? Good God, do the math. Demand from the NPC/IFBB , Jim Manion, some accountability. Don't keep sending money just to get that little card. Enough is enough. He has become very wealthy off the backs of our hard work.
