Do you think that Americans would watch the Mosconi Cup if televised?? Do you think that its energy and excitement would be enough to spark up ratings??
I've asked these questions to many after showing them clips of the 2010 matches. Some couldn't believe the energy of the crowd and emotions of the players while some were just.... Meh...
I truly believe that the Cup is the answer to televised pool. I really believe that matchroom does a fanstatic job with the slow mo shots and panning to the players faces to bring out their emotions of the match. What flag waving American doesn't want to see their country kick the snot out of those smelly europeans (just kidding guys) while eating nachos and drinking budwieser?? A good majority I'm sure.
So what does everybody think?? Is it possible to sell to ESPN or does Matchroom have a bug up its bum about sharing televised events?? I don't know the ins and outs of it but it would have to show the match in York Hall. No doubt the most edge of your seat nail biting excitment that you can't find anywhere else!!
