Will watch for sure !!

Jon was probably getting paid more than Marco. At least Marco with them. I'd never wish good person anything bad and losing contract would be one of those bad things.

Jon was the best guy they had under contract, Vic is the past Jon is the future. Perhaps he was not a big draw but Jon will be a top name pro soon. Sad to see the industry changing, hard for guys to get a contract now. People who will work for free ruining it for everyone, thats why I don't share links and hashtag shit for companies. They should be paying pros to push their brands, not have little guys like me show my abs and sell their shit for free, I buy it thats my job, its theres to pay people to sell it.

I do know they didn't give dana much of anything but product, so prob the same thing is true here. jon is a great guy, im sure he will be picked up.

if marco stays but jon doesn't then it doesn't make much sense, at least to me....jon's a much better bber than marco even though they are different weight classes....but without knowing contract totals of the two it could be within reason to keep marco

They were doing quite a lot marketing with all those Latino brothas in the Northeast with Mike Pulcinella doing the vids. Of the twelve bodybuilders on their sponsor list only three were not Latino or African-American. With the rise of Wolf and appeal some find in Jay, Branch and DLB of course (dumped MHP) etc might lack of diversity be part of the reason? I think Pulcinella actually did more videos with the MHP guys that weren't on the road winning shows too. As with Active Interest Media's take over of MuscleMag they have moved away from bodybuilders and focus more on Men's Physique. Not sure being a very active stage competitor necessarily translates into a competitive advantage for sponsor and magazine play in the new world order. Take Centopani & Dallas McCarver's aversion to competition as they build their careers as an example.

Because good guys deserve their place in this world. Maybe, MHP can look back and say "Ahh, yes, let's call him back and resign him, he was/is a good guy"

I have no beef at all for Jon, but remember, guys, this is a business. If Jon wasn't converting the brand and/or sales, MPH had no choice. It's nothing personal, and no one owes anything to anybody no matter how much of a "good guy" they are.

BTW, why is it only bodybuilders speak this immature, naive BS of "Oh, he was a good guy, and therefore, deserves to be signed"?

Let's all grow up, ok?

maybe they are going to sign you, remember the pic you showed us, the one you looked like huge ripped great condition hard mhp were blown away, the one which you said you know your shoulders will dwarf mine so I answered you challenage, and posted a pic of mine and you criticised my shoulders, and said all your pics are on your broken pc, I took my pic with a cell phone, so you could be getting a phone call of mr dante, to be mhp new athlete that would be a great xmas gift pfa free mhp products and some money as well ,

Maybe it's just good business for MHP to downsize?

I wouldn't take it personally. After all, it wasn't YOU that got fired, so I see no reason to shed tears about another guy you don't know.

very few companies pay their athletes.FYI

? for you Sandwich. Why do you think that Jon wasn't an asset to MHP? JW

MHP hasn't put out to many revolutionary products in awhile so i'm wondering if it's a financial thing

Ya they haven't even made any products that they could even lie about and pretend that it is the next IFBB pro maker product.
