Nope, gotta look at it as a worldwide sport, so you need a worldwide sponsor😉problem is, most people still think pool is still an American sport exclusively!

Ah well. It was just a guess. Busch has a $500 million advertising budget and has invested in pool before.

Terry Bell and Larry Hubbart started Busch Leagues(now APA). They were able to get the Busch $ with class and professionalism. Not a bunch of boasts with no substance. This 'saving pro pool' shit has been going on forever. So far its been nothing but air.

Ok, I'll say this, we're in talks right now with a major sponsor OUTSIDE of the billiards industry, that does business in over 150 countries worldwide, and has over 52,000 locations of business in those 150 countries. That's all I'm saying at this time

Looks like 7-11 is the only company in the world with that many locations. Do slurpee stains come out of simonis?
 
Subway is by far has the most worldwide locations selling bad food and only has about 41,000 stores so must be non resturant.
7-11 is more like 70,000...but none of this really matters.

I am not suggesting it will never happen but I would just stop talking about it until it was real if it was my project

I wish anyone luck in getting pool straighten out but....
When would you have the time to be in talks with anyone?!?!?
Seems like you do nothing but argue here 24/7.
When this huge mulit-national company checks your background and sees all your AZ billiards posts they are going to head for the hills. Why would they want to deal with you??
Good luck.

Close as I can tell it's the KFC, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut consortium -- "Yum! Brands, Inc., based in Louisville, Kentucky, has over 52,000 restaurants in more than 150 countries and territories primarily operating the company’s restaurant brands – KFC, Pizza Hut, and Taco Bell..."

Well, I guess that's because I know what I'm doing, and you don't😅

And just how much versatility does Subway offer? What if you just don't care to eat sandwiches?

As this sport grows in the direction I'd love to see it go, i know i may sound crazy as hell, but i envision an event center for the world to come and play in consisting of 256 9ft pool tables permanently set up as the worlds playgound of world class pool, see we don't have anything lime that, but football does, baseball does, tennis does, auto racing does, soccer does, golf does, basketball does.....every major sport has some mind of event center, why not pool too?? NOT TALKING ABOUT A POOL HALL EITHER!!!

One thing all of those sports have in common is that at every one of those places they sell food, booze and merchandise. Will you have that too? And if so how is this place different than a pool hall? And if you won’t be selling food amd booze why would I come?

Hey, that's OK, it'll all work out fine without you, don't worry about that. If getting outside sponsors were so easy pool wouldn't be in the shit hole it's in right! God knows we can't rely on people like you to bring in sponsorship, no matter how much you get on your knees and beg😉

Can you describe the shit hole that pool is in?

Seems to me, every time I turn around I have a new stream to watch, a new tournament is being listed.

Pool seems to be ok to me.

I just don't see what expertise you bring to the table. Unless they need some of your crystal blue persuasion I don't see why this can't move forward without you involved.

It took this many years to develop a business plan with out any hard results to date. I would have to seriously have to ask will this ever happen?
