A few different winters around 15-18 yrs. ago I stayed in Venice for several weeks and playing regularly at H.O.B....played O.P. Rich, Wayne, Phil, Danny 'Shades', 'Limo' Bob, Roger, Magdy, scientist Rob, and several other guys who's names I forget....it was a great poolroom, I liked it a lot, even with those 4" pockets, lol.

Yup. I learned the game playing rich, Wayne, magdy, and Phil. So much knowledge in that room. Limo Bob barely played by the time I came around like 12 years ago but he was fun to sit on the rail with and listen to him talk about how everybody was shooting the wrong shot lol

Gorst dishes on US Open, lopsided prize funds, long race with Filler

Gorst's opinion is simply that, no question. Since Predator is private, no one outside the company knows how it is funding its tour.

Private-market research suggests Predator's annual revenue is $5 million to $6 million a year. Operating profits are likely in the $500,000 to $1 million range if margins are 15% to 20%.

If these numbers are fairly good estimates, I'd be surprised if the marketing budget was millions a year, but good accountants can find ways to stretch ad dollars quite far.

I have to believe Predator is not losing money for the reason you cited. If the company can sustain these purses, great.

Annual revenues of $6 million is not enough to cover salary for 200 employees worldwide and expenditures. Predator does not make its income statement available so I would not give much credence to Internet search values. The same internet search says that the carbon fiber market is about $400 million and Predator is a major producer, so go figure.

Predator world tour - St. Louis going on now.

Rusty in Montana
If whoever that is in charge of advertising pool tournaments for Predator can ask the new entities for a Public Service Announcement they're either free or at a reduced rate .
I know predator doesn't have a problem sending me daily emails selling their products .

Granted I don't know how things work outside of my little part of Montana and they certainly have to have a healthy budget for advertising so they should be able to advertise a tournament .
