Lol so i guess it was a facade all along. Third party was basically paying to use his "name."
interesting........................
I read that earlier today (thanks ********) and IMO (and also as a fan of Heath) I'm happy for him.
It seems like he was throwing effort away at GN. Sure, he didn't fully submerge himself into running the business since he is still competing. But regardless he was still putting in work at GN which really seemed like it never really took off. The only thing it had going for it was that Phil was its poster boy..I mean come on his nickname is The Gift
What? I love his supplements. Now where am I going to be able to sniff one of his gifted farts to look like mr o?

tba Heath Nutrition, coming to a local GNC near you
I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. Minor internet celebrity Bostin Loyd made 40k/month with BossSportsNutrition but Mr Olympia's company earned him a net DEFICIT? These signature line brands aren't all they've cracked up to be.
Makes you wonder how Ronnie Coleman's signature series is going at the moment.

Well to be fair, Bostin's line had a few products that are quasi legal and popular. While Heath's line was under dosed in an already saturated market. Regardless, I don't believe Heath when he said he made no money off of it. I think he's just trying to cover his tracks. Nobody would let a company use their name while having no stake in the company for free. It wouldn't make sense.
I never saw his line in any stores
Meanwhile Kai's line is becoming a household name

Straight from the source.

Not seeing it to be honest. Maybe if we're talking about Kai's household.

Both are probably really small in the grand scheme of things. Just add a "Muscletech" term and watch them both disappear.

To me it's the difference between being a sponsored athlete (meaning you get a check in the mail regardless of how well the product's doing) and being an owner or part owner (meaning you might win big, but also lose big).
It seems Phil rolled the dice and came up snake eyes.

I suspect the saturated market is too hard to penetrate.
We live in an era where the consumer wants things to be cheaper and cheaper, to satisfy this the business has to focus on smaller profit margins and very high volume. This needs the business to have very deep pockets and to be able to run at a loss for as long as it takes with no guarantee of future profits.
Infact walking away from a business can be a smart thing to do and leaving it too long can result in greater losses. Gifted have probably made a tough but calculated choice to wind it down and no shame in that at all.
