The IFBB is worse than Don King

a) I wonder if people are actually donating to that?

b) why would you sign such a bad contract?

looks like BS and a scam to get people to pay money to some random person....IMO its BS....he doesn't need our help to pay for legal help...he probably makes more then most of us on here...even those with real jobs.

yea, you're right....he just won $20,000 and his last and only show he did this year. Dude is living it up!

**Prince** · 09-21-2006, 10:33 PM

Lee probably makes several hundred thousand per year.

**musclepump** · 09-21-2006, 10:40 PM

His TwinLab contract is no doubt very large.

Thank you!

He makes GREAT money when compared to people with normal jobs...P-Funk like you said he made $20K in one day....its not like he is only making money off the shows he does.....non of these BBers make millions off the shows they do...its everything else....the products...endorsements...guest poses....investments....none of them are broke unless they do not know how to manage their money.

I lived in LA for 4 years and worked around the pro's, most are poor as hell....it is a pathetic sport. Even the tiny, tiny tiny few who make 100K or more, have to pay 30-40K in drug costs every year.

you're correct, but there are a handful of pro bb's that make VERY good money, Lee is one of them.

Lee is contemplating whether or not he wants to start dieting:

I did a few demos that Lee was at, he was the hardest working pro in LA.

LOL all that and he is drinking a diet coke. HAHAHA

**Deeznuts** · 09-23-2006, 12:22 PM

This is what DeMilla needs. He should provide the funds to defend Lee against the IFBB. If he can find a way around Rule 1.4 ( I believe this is what it is), more IFBB's might jump on over

Do tell Mr. Foreman.

Any really good stories?

Please

I was a sales rep for one of the supplement companies. I have a few stories but don't think it's right for me to name who and what.

How does the IFBB have to right to suspend anyone from merely cometing in another professional contest? Doesn't this sound like the same thing that Joe & Ben Weider criticized the AAU for many years ago? Fact is, professional and even amatueur bodybuilders have the right to compete wherever and for whomever they choose.

In 1977, the AAU had to change their rules and allow both IFBB & even WBBG amateur bodybuilders to compete in non AAU events without expulsion. The athletes fought it and won although you would never know it from certain people in the AAU, especially York, Pa and Scranton, Pa. areas. The sport grew as amateur bodybuilders now had the choice to compete in events other than just AAU.

Now the IFBB is doing the same thing? Doesn't make sense to me that what the IFBB fought so hard for, freedom for the athletes, the IFBB is now turning their backs on and going the way of the antiquated AAU days.

Monopolies are illegal, even in sports. I say, go for it Lee Preist. You

are fighting for all bodybuilers. The AAU and Bobby Hoffman thought they were too big to be challenged and were proven wrong. Perhaps it's time that the IFBB realizes that they are also not too big to be taken down.
