Probably because he got cheated and robbed of the win. I heard they had an extremely suspect way of determining averages. Mongo is a way better eater than all the dudes who placed. Then again MLE does whatever they have to so they can take care of their posterboy. This isn’t the first time they screwed somebody over so mr. posterboy could win. I’ve caught MC clown’s turning a blind eye with my own eyes so they do whatever they please with their god complexes and then have the nerve to call their contests sanctioned. LMMFAO!!!!!

My mistake – missed that result. But made me notice something else. Even though they are not under contract, why are Alex Perez, Bam Martinez and Mongo allowed to flip back and forth between non-sanctioned and IFOCE contests?

Why 1125? So they can play the old familiar game of playing one against the other

Because they don’t mean a thing to the Sheas except for being spot fillers so they turn a blind eye when necessary. Although Mongo is a decent eater, the others aren’t good for numbers like the rest of the ranked 30-50 eaters.

So who’s claiming the last 6 spots at Vegas and Ohio?

1:22 is correct. Some of the lower ranked eaters haven’t seen a contract since 2006.

Bam has done contests outside on MLE in the past year or two. He just doesn’t get caught because nobody cares or make a fuss.

Bam. You were added to MLE roster in May 2011. This contest took place in July 2011. Seems like you were signed at the time with MLE

I3:15 I did some MLE contest and they add me I was asked later to join..Thanks for following my contest.Its cool being that im i don’t domany.6:57 How do you figure Mongo got cheated.Were you there,did you see the weight.

So what your saying Bam is that you did a MLE event….they added to their top 50 ranking without signing, did other non MLE contests and then signed later? Hmmm I was I under the impression MLE won’t add you to their ranking unless you sign….maybe they made a exception for you Bam since your top notch.

Bam beating Mongo, that’s like Joey losing to a #50 ranked eater. Never would happen at least not fairly.

They do add a few lower ranked eaters without having them sign contracts. Bam did more than that though.

12:32, it could happen in West Palm Beach Corn. I have little doubt. Joey is smart to stay away from there.

Correction. A bit off-topic but in that second link I posted earlier it says Notorious B.O.B. is “an off-stage vegetarian”. We now know that this is not true.

Maybe George Shea should ditch that line then? I can’t even could how many times I’ve heard him say it.

Since the Sheas are continuing with the Jim Mullen 1916 origin story even after it was announced as a fabrication, I doubt they will alter Bob’s introduction.

The two lines tbat George should ditch our of sheer redundancy is ” I gotta get to the gym” and ” oh lord I felt a tightness in my chest . Hope its not heart attack ” I see little humor in either or both

I’d bet 1000 dollars Mongo would beat Erik with any food but especially wings. I’m positive that mc Sam is surprised somebody called him out on his scandalous shanagains. Have him take a lie detector, he won’t because if he did the damn machine would blow up.

@observer if your calms of cheating are true, then why did they allow ETR to lose badly during the Nathan’s qualifier in Vegas? He was beat by 2 amatures and 1 Indy eater who wasn’t even supposed to be allowed to eat? I think you suffer from a condition called “denial”

Just face it all you Stupid freaks that think the MLE is a Legit Corrp. because you are the ones in Denial!!!! and the reason they cheated is because they couldn’t let Mongo get to the Main stage because that is under more of a watchful eye and that’s where Mongo would have been top 3!!!

@oldybutgoodie so instead of providing legitimate excuses to why MLE cheated, you resort to calling everyone “stupid freaks.” You say they didn’t want Mongo on the main stage?? Why not? If they could supposedly cheat or fix the contest at a qualifier, what’s stopping them from doing it at the final? Sorry but claiming MLE cheats without offering more definitive proof other then “Mongo is just that good to lose” is foolish.

So much controversy, I wonder if Erik feels bad his winning number purposely got switched with Mongos. I’ve heard of shady things going on at MLE contests.

Really think these comments do nothing good for competitive eating followers or the eaters. Seems like a bunch of in fighting and most people have no idea half the time what people are saying except that most posters seem like real bozos. It’s a sport, it isn’t a sport? Seems like a bunch of rotten spoilers. Noone comes off looking good.
