I watched Ronnie on video when he ran one or two balls then took a break while the referee checked what it was worth to run a 147. There was generally a 25,000 pound or euro pot that they would split if more than one person ran 147. Ronnie did get his 147. He would have looked like a silly ass if he didn't as prolonged as that break was.
Even funnier, Ronnie asked and was told the prize pot was only ten or fifteen thousand another time. In the middle of his run he shot a six for a final score of 146! No doubt that was deliberate. I kinda expected a fine or some kind of punishment, but I never heard anything about one. It was funny, Ronnie shot a perfect game but it only totaled 146! 147 drew crowds and increased the gate.
Ronnie may not be the GOAT of cue sports but his name has to come up anytime the discussion starts!
