We still have to rely on local and North American allies to join in our efforts and events. Nothing is impossible!
There were many Americans who promised to help both my event and the B&A event in California. They all ran with their tails between there legs. They feared chastisement from the American powers that control our in dustry in the USA with lots of money backing them. Yes, success to any WFF-WBBF Contest in the USA, providing we have very large sponsors and T.V. in the USA. ……………I will never do another show in the USA without all those elements.
Things are totally different in the USA and as in Russia or Lithuania as I mentioned before. Judging, political underwriting of money and support. It is a game of chest in any country. We have to make the right moves to make it all happen where everyone reaches their goals.
Yes, it could mean in time, A WFF-WBBF Contest is a success at any way and at any turn of happenings. The USA is hungry for new events without the dictates of the president controlling groups who have and are daily trying to monopolize the athletes and sponsors. We want to have free independent events under the WFF-WBBF FLAGS FLYING HIGH AT EACH EVENT IN THE USA. Then, and then only the rest International Sportsmen including USA would come and make all the magic come alive.
We want nothing more than to have a guarantee number of high level competitors, sponsors, and tons of money at any show in the USA or any Country. Edmundas will have to make the final choice if the necessary details are discussed and agreed with the Contest Organizer World Wide.
Count on North American if, and when all these details are in line. I will, as I have supported the WFF-WBBF International. Perhaps now that we have an active WFF-WBBF president in Mexico, we can pool their resources and USA and our allies in Canada to create a real 2009 WFF-WBBF NORTH AMERICAN. This was, as you know, tried with Mr. Juan Carlos in Mexico after I made him president of the WFF-WBBF MEXICO CITY IN 2006. Mr. Carlos event the Coloso Classic was a big regional show with much potential. This was to be the Center stage in Mexico for the 2007 WFF-WBBF North American. However, after dozens of phone calls to Mexico on both our parts we have only lip service to add to Mexico and all the efforts. The Coloso Classic that I was head judges on behalf for the WFF-WBBF was the biggest, best and well run that I have attended in many years. Again, it takes lots of money to pull this off in North America.
What do you think?
