ABR Special Report - French Press Conference
- Thread starter ABR
- Start date
Do we haveta? :barf:
Fortunately, I'm still just interested in the game of pool and not the drama that can obviously surround it. I'll be working during this "press conference" and if I wasn't working I'd be playing pool, reading a book, petting my dog or warming myself by a fire. I personally can't see any informational or entertainment value in stuff like this.
So how much money has he been paid by pool players?
How many shows does he have on ESPN?
He's being interviewed because he's considered the Wal Mart version of Kevin Trudeau.
If you look up "work of a dummy" right there up front will be this entire situation.
LOL
Have you seen his posts on social media and here? All big wall of words.
And don't even talk about drafting written stuff . He drafted a contract wth intention to cheat, rip off and scam Orcullo
I heard Dennis' interview, and will listen to French's when it is available. May I suggest interviewing the third party also, Shane, for his side of the "big match"? Thanks.
Yes, but one party is a member of the legitimate world of pro pool and the other has tired but failed to latch on to the world of pro pool.
Will every would-be stakehorse that is unable to come to terms with one or more pro players be given a platform with ABR even if they fall outside the boundaries of pro pool?
In what sense is a failed contract between an out-of-industry entrepreneur and a pro player the business of the pool media? In addition, why should I care what the billiard media thinks of this contract?
Maybe I'm missing the boat here, but this coverage doesn't seem to make sense.
Please ask him to bring the Ko contracts
SJM, I respect your opinion and input. The only answer I have that explains why ABR/Myself would do this interview is because of the multiple threads and posts on AZB and Facebook. Within these threads are a whole bunch of questions and hearsay. We interviewed Dennis and go his side of the story and to be fair have to ask the tough questions to the other side. This topic/subject is something that people what to hear the answer to like it or not or there would not be so many posts etc. That's why the interview is going on. Hope that sheds some light on your wondering why we would do the interview.
as of now there is NO Dennis/Shane match
1. If they were responsible for, involved in the success of, or demise of, potentially the highest dollar 1 on1 money match in u.s. history, then the answer is yes, no matter who they might or might not be.
If they are potentially negotiating pool coverage with ESPN, then yes, no matter who they might or might not be.
If they have swindled, conned, screwed, or in some other way shafted a pro player out of 50% of their earnings for a decade, then the answer is yes, no matter who they are or what industry they might work in.
The above all falls under the category of "news" in the pool world in 2016.
2. You shouldn't care what the media thinks. Nobody should.
But this is not an opinion piece, it's an opportunity for both sides to explain why this epic match failed. Our opinion means absolutely nothing.
Taken a step further, communication is a valuable tool.
The truth can set an innocent man free
The truth can protect innocent people
Which one of these would be bad?
This isn't even the thread about the match, this thread is about a "press conference". Nice first post, welcome to the forums.:thumbup:
I'm always for an unbiased Fifth Estate. That is the way it should be.
Unfortunately, when it comes to presidential politics, the Fourth and Fifth Estates have gone wild. :embarrassed2:
I'm glad that pool's Fifth Estate is disseminating information, whether we agree or disagree, so that people can form opinions based on the horse's mouth rather than what they heard through the grapevine.
Too often, folks may prejudge a situation without knowing the full story. That happens quite often in the pool world. :frown:
You forgot...."and we need listeners"
