There’s a tremendous amount of conversation being had as seemingly former IFBB Elite Pro Michael Krizo made the announcement he’ll be competing in the IFBB Pro League. This is not only a major defeat but it’s also a huge hit against “the other IFBB” led by Rafael Santoja. As many of you know the IFBB split in two some years ago. Wayne Demilia was tapped to try to make the Santoja faction huge in America.

Next they move to small theaters and/or sections of convention centers. If the shows get big enough buzz they can headline the marquee at a large hall all their own. We’ve seen this with shows like the Night of Champions, the Arnold Classic, and of the most coveted contest in our sport the Mr. Olympia. That said not all promoters reach for the stars.

Back in the day, we had bodybuilding and fitness magazines that promoted the sport of bodybuilding.
