On paper, it's a good news for the sport, the fans and the athletes! Now let see what they truly have to offer!

I'm all for anything that gives the athletes more money and a fair chance to be noticed.

Like Mo said, let's see how the theory converts into practice. Hope it does get off the ground!

So, it's finally confirmed eh? How many fights have been started over this particular issue?
Now we all know, and the IFBB too. Hopefully this lasts longer than the WBF did.

Back in the day you had several organizations which had guys crossing over to each one.........."defecting" if you will.

Caused a lot of ridiculous rivalries betwen the heads of each org which they would print in their respective magazines.

Weider was on top then,and took heat from the AAU (Bob Hoffman),and the WBBG (Dan Lurie)........Weider is still in the business,Bob passed on as did AAU bodybuilding,and Dan`s WBBG is long defunct. There was also,and still is I beleive,the WABBA run by Serge Nubret,and of course NABBA which is still going strong.

It could be a good thing,but we`ll have to wait and see.
