I've been lucky to shoot the new Predator products a few weeks ago with their pros. The reason I'm posting this is because I heard a rumor that our advertising genius Jerry Forsyth might have gotten a way for our AZB Gold Members to get these before they're even released... ...Wouldn't it be...

...There's been a lot of work backstage to ensure this event would be great, and it's looking very promising! The biggest setup in the Mirage room for the Mosconi Cup will exceed 600 seats, which is more than the MGM, and the York Hall... Matchroom will probably sell more thant 2,500 combined...

What would be "easier" is to get four events and put them on ESPN with the top 64 players in the world invited with no attention to the "industry leaders".or "top players" (they will all get involved)...get a professional marketing/advertising agency to promote the "daylights" out of the Events...

CJ, can you actually read? I said his priority was NOT TO make money. You quote me and rephrase to... His priority was TO NOT make money. There's a big difference, and then you carry on making all these pointless phrases based on this. Very disappointing. Plus, you don't answer about the...

I 100% agree with this. In any other sport, if Bonus Ball would have walked into the industry like they did, luring all the players for the biggest f***up in recent history, the players would have been obligated to stick to the "current tour" by contract. This is the case in Snooker, where the...

I'm not sure I explained it well... I wrote "sometimes" before all of my claims. Didn't you get this :) ? For example: The Mosconi Cup's priority is NOT to have a pro game like 10-Ball, call-shot, race to 21. So this is a priority they don't have. The EPBF's priority is NOT to bank on the big...

At no point did Badi talk about this being an issue. There are even shows filmed for TV with no live audience in Snooker, and that doesn't change the promotion at all. The player show up to play, and to make money. It's then webcasted or broadcasted. Like TAR, where the audience is really...

:grin: The good thing about working with Matchroom is that everybody is at their place, where they can get the good work done. I've seen so many times at tournaments people being asked to do what they shouldn't be doing, that it's really a relief for me to just put my bags down for a week in...

They would have to fly Steve Davis out of the jungle for this one... http://www.itv.com/imacelebrity/steve-davis ...And Ronnie will be playing the UK Championships the same week.

That's where the whole thing totally blows my mind. People relocated, it cost a LOT of players and other workers and only a few like Darren Appleton can get back on their feet because they have a larger income than the "average" player - due to their results in other games. Now I understand...

It is absolutely not related. Nobody else had any info. Nothing has been published by the other magazines on the internet either. There's simply no consistent PR. The World Pool Masters is a taped-for-TV event that was staged a couple of weeks ago, so no reason not to publish PR for Bonus Ball...

Thanks for this Steve. The WPBL has been very silent over here and on facebook. The only few bits out are how amaaaaazzzzing last week was. Which is something share by a maximum of 80 people in the whole world. No PR, no results, no payouts, nothing. Just 3 pictures on the official facebook page...

There are more than a lot of knowledgeable people who reached out to the Bonus Ball team between 2009 (when they started to promote it) and the actual 'big launch'. Many warned them and what happened is they looked down on everyone in this industry, explaining how they didn't need any of the...

Thanks for your insider's input Lee. Seen from the outside, it looked like a few talented people were on the crew. But as time went by, they were isolated more and more by their own choices to do everything on their own. We interviewed Nathan for AZB and proposed many ways to highlight their...

There are a LOT of venture which are bigger than the players in this industry: - The US Open 9-Ball has run with or without big names over the years (only Lee Vann and Warren came this year, no other Filipinos) - The Mosconi Cup has ran without Earl, Mika, Ralf a few years. it will run without...

Thanks Doug, I'm glad I got to work on AZB and we have a lot of plans for the future. Working with the EPBF and Kozoom was interesting but it involved too many things that 'you can't talk about'. Both entities run on many scams and lies, and I find it easier to work with people with whom I don't...

They came to Vegas because they had to, in order to get paid. I do remember Barry lagging reeaaally long on US Open payments, but I don't think any of the players ever had to fly back to Chesapeake at their expenses to get what they were owed. Two different ways to deal with pool players, both...

Excellent post Doug. I wish I would have wrote this myself! I feel 100% the same.

Michaela works on Bonus Ball strictly based on the fact that they offered a new experience, money, with a few players and a city she knew. Nothing to dig. a) Matchroom has no intention to touch Bonus Ball with a ten-foot pole. Barry met Johnny in NYC to chat about BB's plans and give his...

No, the Paypal link lets you use a credit card too, just a one-time thing as you do not have to have a PP account. It's the best way for us to get protected both ways (buyer/seller) and not require a specific system from our bank which would be very costly. Currently, PPal for the credit card...
