Hier ein Update und zwar der Brief der an die 25 Athleten geschickt wurde.



Gentlemen,

Thank you for your responses. You will not hear from me again until October. At that time, if everything progresses as planned, you will be sent a contract. We will send contracts to 25 athletes with the objective of 15 signing. Here is other information that I can share with you at this time based on questions some of you have asked.

You are the first group we have approached. We have approached other groups of athletes, although not all of them are from the IFBB.

The contracts will be sent after the Mr. Olympia so that we will not jeopardize anyone during the 2005 season.

The event in Tokyo is planned to take place during Golden Week April 28 through May 6 2006.

The event is scheduled to be televised in Japan, Korea, Philippines, China, and SE Asia. The money to pay prize money, ect. will come from TV advertising revenue (one of the companies involved as a TV station), that is why this is possible.

Athletes that sign contracts will be marketed to endorse products (another partner is the sports marketing agency) in Asia. This will increase your revenue and make you bigger stars in Asia. When we increase the number of shows in 2007, some of you will already be stars in the new locations.

We are not starting a new bodybuilding federation, but rather creating business opportunities. We are just interested in a limited number of athletes that we will transform into stars in Asia (just as was done with Bob Sapp).

We are negotiating with different former and present bodybuilding officials that handle the bodybuilding business side of this venture.

The athletes that sign contracts will be brought to Japan to meet everyone involved for one week in early December.

I have been most appreciative of your patience. You will not receive any other correspondence from me until late October.

Best Wishes,
Massimo Di Gambino
