Eli maailman isoin alan sivusto Bodybuilding.com on menty ja myyty hintaan 100 miltsii. Aikamoiset massit liikkuu jenkeissä. Sivustolla käy päivittäin 100 tuhatta eri ihmistä. Jos tätä verrataan Pakkotoistoon, niin meillä käy saman verran rontissa viikossa.
Kauppahintaan kuului koko sivuston takana olevan firman omaisuus, siitä ei tarkkaa tietoa ole paljonko oli kiinteistöä jne.

In a developing story, Liberty Media Corporation has announced today that they have acquired Bodybuilding.com, the bodybuilding industry's largest information and supplement website. Terms of the acquisition were not released by Liberty Media. But inside sources tell Muscletime that Liberty Media paid the DeLuca family and a private equity firm over $100 million for a controlling interest in Bodybuilding.com
Founded in 1999, Bodybuilding.com is a two time Inc. 500 Company and was named Internet Retailer "Best of the Web" top 50 in 2006 and top 100 in 2007. The company had over 100,000 daily and 3,100,000 monthly unique visitors in November, 2007.
"Bodybuilding.com is a fast growing leader in fitness nutrition e-commerce and the authentic voice of the bodybuilding community, as demonstrated by the success of BodySpace, the social network for body building athletes," said Michael Zeisser, Senior Vice President of Liberty Media. "We are pleased to welcome entrepreneurs of the caliber of Ryan DeLuca and his team into the Liberty family. We look forward to driving collaboration among Bodybuilding.com and Liberty's existing e-commerce and television companies.
"We are thrilled to join the Liberty Media family and to partner with their other top-notch commerce companies," said Bodybuilding.com CEO Ryan DeLuca. "Bodybuilding.com is a community-centric, search driven commerce business that is highly complementary with many of Liberty's other properties. We believe our strength in social networking and our well established brand relationships will be highly relevant to Liberty. We are committed to working with Liberty and its affiliate management to pursue numerous mutual, highly definable and actionable growth opportunities."
We do not know how the acquisition by Liberty Media will affect the sport of professional bodybuilding. Bodybuilding.com has been a major sponsor of bodybuilding contest nationwide and instrumental to the popularity of the sport especially in recent years with the free webcasts of major IFBB Pro bodybuilding competitions. We nor do we know at this point if Liberty Media will retain the same executive team that has been responsibly for Bodybuilding.com's meteoric rise!
