    What an amazing interview. Shawn actually wrote back to my best friend in 1989 after he sent him a fan letter. It wasn’t just a quick note, either... he wrote my buddy a two page response. I’ve respected Shawn ever since.

It's a joke that Pro Athletes who have to actually PAY an entrance fee to enter competitions, PAY yearly to renew their IFBB memberships, and PAY for everything involved including travel & hotel expense, not to mention the enormous cost of getting ready for these events. Promoters are charging big money for spectators to attend.... This reminds me of the way NCAA treat their players while generating a fortune.

      You know how majority of mma fighters get by? Lots of guys are fighting for 8+8k and 12+12K (2nd part only if you win. Nate Diaz was fighting on main events for 20+20K before a few flukes got him the Conor fight which changed his tax bracket. Miesha won her UFC title fighting for 40-45K. Rory McDonald & Robbie Lawler had a life altering brutal main event fight where Rory got 59K.
      This a sport worth billions but also where a lot of athletes need 2nd jobs to be able to eat. And others leave the sport for financial reasons. That is the definition of a semi pro sports: some get paid enough to make a living, some need a 2nd job, a few make bank.
      Bodybuilding is like acting. A lot of them are "professional actors/bodybuilders" but few make money from their profession.

    As other people have noted, Pat, usually great with his comments, questions and analysis, is rather contentious and, to be honest, heartless in this interview. Shawn stays very calm and holds his own.
    At TIME 1:04:30, Pat is totally trying to bully and insult Shawn. Shawn stays cool. Never seen Pat like this. He clearly doesn't like Shawn Ray becasue Ray isn't rolling over to Pat's display of male dominance.

  • @JosipK93lk
    @JosipK93lk Před 4 lety +7

    This was by far the best bodybuilding interview on this channel so far. Good enough to consider contacting Shawn as a guest on a regular basis.
    He's always well-spoken, honest and provocative enough to not let the conversation get stale. I agree with Patrick in a sense that Olympia should do more as a brand but Ray is good at pointing out that there should be some more "meat" behind that argument so that it would not dilute into cheap populism. As Branch Warren, another famous bodybuilder once said - nobody owes you a God damned thing. So maybe both the bodybuilders and the Olympia should listen to the "be so good and present that they can't ignore you even if they wanted to" philosophy. I think that's what helped Shawn in his career as a competitor and an analyst.
    Olympia should maybe consider having their own channel with dedicated podcasts, talking to current and former champions, possible challengers and updating us on a regular basis about who is qualified through interviews and reviews. Maybe even have a sweet video round table with notable bodybuilders to preview and conclude the event.
    Also it should lean more heavily on its "crown jewel" characteristic. Mr. Olympia is THE bodybuilding competition, the world cup - if any brand has the clout, integrity and authority to speak about current bodybuilding events and cover exciting news in the sport...well maybe it's "the event"...
    Solomon already had a great internet radio-show with Chic and if I'm not mistaken they were able to talk with all the Mr.Olympia champions throughout their seasons on air.
    It's a sport that is entering this digital era in a sluggish manner. And if there's a banner to rally around and speed the process up - it's the Olympia banner. They don't have to be spectacular from the start - but start is what they have to do.

    This was a great interview. I started not to watch it because it’s so long but it was worth watching. Shawn is knowledgeable and the back and forth of these two made it interesting.

    Never thought I would say this but; Shawn made more sense than this narrator attempted to make during this discussion. Shawn is very much underrated in his ability to communicate.No its not arrogant, its reality, No champion can dictate to an organization as established as the Olympia. Yelling got this guy nowhere...Every time Shawn makes a valid point here, the narrator goes off comparing the case in point to another completely different scenario. I found it annoying and Shawn earns props here in my mind.

    Wow! Great interview. I have definitely changed my opinion on Shawn Ray. He's very articulate and really a visionary for the sport of bodybuilding. I hold him up there with the best. Amazing!

    Shawn Ray is my favorite bodybuilder and person in the fitness industry. You just can’t find someone as honest as this in the industry.
