what can draw a pro to a even paid event

i was watching kid delicious vs zion earlier and i was getting bored. these pros can do crazy shots, what can draw a pro to an event with no safeties allowed and go for the kill with every shot. as the title says, if theres 32K for the prize money with 32 players, they all get paid even but the games fun to watch, I dont see it ever happening, what can be done???

Everytime someone does a no safety tournament like a bar rules one, people find a way to "oops, I missed but hid the cueball by accident".

I'm not going for everybody gets paid the same...sounds like a Commie plot....

Pool is a war game...the right shot is the winning shot.

However, here's a scenario where you'll see a contest with no conservative shots....
....and a lot of miraculous full-tilt efforts.

A high priced ring game

It could be done with round robin type groups...with the winner moving to the final group.

Sorry, I've watched thousands of matches on video and in person. No, I don't need to pick up ping pong smart aleck. 9 ball and ten ball are always the same. I already know what shot they're going to do. The only difference is the pros doing right 99 out of 100. But even the biggest fan can get bored with the same shit. I'd like to enjoy watching just as much as playing. I'm a pool fan. Repetitive games can get tedious. And kid delicious is annoying to watch with his mannerisms and constant tip adjusting and all that. Why do you think earl and jayson Shaw are ALWAYS fun to watch. They play fast and loose. My idea was to let other players do the same. I'm sure it's wishful thinking, just wanted to hear people's thoughts not get called out on my view.

This isn't rocket surgery. It's called an exhibition and you can bet that every pro has his price. Pay any of them enough and they'll dress up like Daisy Duke and sing yankee-doodle-dandy while shooting off-handed on sloped tables with a combination of snooker balls and pool balls, if you want.

The problem is simply the amount of money.
