NEW PRO DIVISION

[LATS]

well it looks like the ifbb is going to have more competition..a group out of japan is going to be promoting and sponsoring pro shows.. they will have shows across europe and some in the states as well.. the gentleman i talked to about this said that the athletes will have more say and better money. apparently they are looking at doing this very soon.. real soon.. they will put out a magazine and give the up and coming pros the option of the ifbb or them.. they apparently have contacted some of the bigger names and have made some offers.. many are also showing interest.. should be interesting..

I like this. The competition wil force IFBB to make changes to keep their athletes.

This sounds like great news, I just hope they actually follow through with what theyre saying & treat the atheletes better. That will make the ifbb wake up....I guess we'll see in time

Most likely it will be, just like when McMahon started his own fed. Those guys got shafted that went over there then it folded and had to come back to the IFBB. I hope it turns out to be something good for the atheletes, they put their heart, soul and bodies into this sport for very little return and that has to change. I guess time will tell, but for it to be successful they are going to need some big names competing and they might not be willing to take the risk. I'm not sure if they all have contracts with the IFBB or not, but IFBB may have them by the balls.

well, from what i have gathered.. this is a little different from the wbf farce.. mcmahon wanted to change bodybuilding and give it entertainment value and appeal to the mainstream.. we all know now that is not going to happen.. it flopped.. this federation is trying to give athletes a say and let them be who they are.. period,... we know have the ifbb telling bodybuilders what "they " want them to look like.. they are out of touch with those in the audience and the fans who pay the bills.. too old and out of touch.. hell, i never thought i would say this but, bring back wayne demillia.. he at least gave the fans what they wanted.. that is how bad the ifbb is screwing up now when you want wayne back lol.. oh well,, at least it will be another venue for the pros to try... who knows.. it might just work..
