2010 IFBB Ironman Pro is cancelled
Posted in Announcements, Contest Info, IFBB on November 13th, 2009
The new updated 2010 IFBB schedule came back out today, and one event was noticeably missing – the 2010 Ironman Pro. What? This has got to be a mistake, people wondered, but as the day progressed, the emails and calls kept coming. The 2010 Ironman Pro, alas, was not going to be, and regrettably it was cancelled. We are all awaiting a statement from the promoter of the event, which I know, has to be one of the hardest statement that he would ever make, for the Ironman Pro has been going strong for 20 years now.

The Fit Expo, which is usually in the same expo hall, and weekend, will continue, which has over 150-200 booths, as well as a myriad of other events. But for the pro bodybuilding community, the loss of the beloved Ironman Pro contest will hurt. It would have been my 15th Ironman contest, and not having it start the pro season, in my own hometown, is going to be quite distressing.

There are a lot of rumors and speculation as to why the contest was cancelled, but we will wait until the press release comes out.

Huge disappointment! No pro football team in LA and now no Pro Bodybuilding? Hoping they get this thing sorted out and get back on track for next year. Could the cancellation have something to do with the show being 6 weeks before the Arnold and not getting a good Pro turnout as a result?

When John Balik approached me in late 1989 and asked me: “if I was going produce our IFBB MEN’S UNITED STATES PRO”. “I told him”, “Hell No”!

I explained to Mr. Balik, I produced the event in 1988 had all the top guys and hit 3000 attendance, sold over forty exhibit spaces at the Disneyland Hotel in Orange County California. So I understand this allegedly beat the “Night of the Champions” attendance record and allegedly pissed off the producer and powers that be.

The following year in 1989 I offered the same cash prize money for the IFBB MEN’S UNITED STATES PRO”. I could barely get the top Professionals to respond. My attendance plummeted to from 3000 to maybe 500 attendees.

It was allegedly told to me and others later that the top guns where allegedly ask not to enter my production because of our grand popularity the year prior. This is where the 1990 IRONMAN PRO. MADE ITS GRAND DEBUT AND SHAWN RAY WAS CROWNED THE FIRST IRONMAN WINNER.

We hope it all works out for Mr. John Balik and the IRONMAN legacy. “It’s a great event, maybe too great”!

“It’s all about the $$$$$$$$$$$$, “don’t ever forget it”!

I understand clearly, that the IFBB and NPC is a private money making machines, nothing else connected with sport. They counted their expences and profit and canceled the events.
Today we received a letter from USA.
WBBF World Champion JELENE PANOVA (Russia) lives in USA now and she looks for the WFF-WBBF Contacts with MIKE GLASS to go on with the competitions:


Здравствуйте, уважаемый Эдмундас!
Пишет вам Панова Елена. Если помните,я не раз выступала в Литве. К
сожалению не смогу сейчас выступить на Чемпионате Мира, т. к.
переехала во Флориду. Я пыталась связаться с Майком Глассом по
электронной почте, но ответа не получила. По телефону с ним поговорить
мне будет очень трудно, т.к. плохо понимаю английский по телефону.
Возможно вы знаете, как мне с ним лучше связаться или еще с кем-то в Северной Америке?
Мне нужна помощь WFF.
Подскажите также, как можно получить официальное подтверждение от
организации всех моих титулов?
Заранее благодарю.

Today we received one more letter from the USA.
JELENA PANOVA thanks the WFF-WBBF International Federation for it‘s assistance:


Здравствуйте, Эдмундас!
Огромное спасибо, что не оставили мое письмо
без внимания. Это очень важно для меня. Сегодня М. Гласс мне ответил. Он
прислал официальное письмо, что как спортсменка я нужна организации
WFF в Америке. Кроме того, он связался с людьми, которые могут мне
помочь в Майями. Завтра мы свяжемся с нашим иммиграционным адвокатом и
узнаем наши дальнейшие действия и сроки. После чего я все сообщу вам. Для меня
очень приятно, что наша организация это действительно семья, которая
не бросает своих в трудной ситуации.
Спасибо вам большое за помощь.
Елена.

HELLO DEAR MICHAEL,

I really appreciate your help, it is very important to me.
Thank you for applying to your friends with my request. I hope that it will work.
I speak only English though I've studied Spanish for a while, but Spanish I should recall.
The attorney said that it should take up to 6 month to get an O-1 VISA that will allow me to get a social security and working permission. After that within 6 month I can receive a Green Card. At best all this will take 8 months.

I'll attach my Resume, may be it will be useful.

Thank you very much for your concern.
Always in touch,
ELENA.

Where do you get your inspiration and energy, Mike?

I'm a musclebuilder since childhood and my path hasn't changed, give or take the 50-plus years that have transpired, expired, mysteriously evaporated and otherwise surround me. I remain a simple iron-struck witness from beneath a heap of bars and plates and benches and racks. I see the mess, but am best suited to encouraging the lingering mob of muscleheads I've known since the precious days of Venice Gold.

Yesterday I cracked open the first Flex magazine (complements of Shawn Perine) I've held in my hands since Ronnie Coleman barged onto the stage. I knew it was a crazy scene, but WoW. Where do they come from

Thanks for thinking of me. I'm in the best of company, Bill and Jim.

We press on... I wish you Godspeed... Dave Draper

Hi ed
I just decided to finish what I started, I qualified twice for the nationals, my life took a turn and I never got the pro card. I am training to be a light heavyweight for the masters nationals. I am not POSITIVE I am going to be the size I want to be but there is a good chance that I will be. I want the pro card. I have never lost a show as a middle weight. but for the overall spot I have to become a light heavy, and I intend to come in big and ripped as usual. this is going to be my first show in 15 years, so it is possible I may do california for practice it all depends. So watch for me. I believe the show is july 23 at pitsburth.well that's enough from me. I wish I had some endorsements, hopefully that will come when I get the card.I hope you are doing well. peace& blessings
