He who has the money, writes the checks. He who writes the checks, has the power. He who has the power, has the money. -Frank Peretti, The Oath MR is a well-oiled machine. Their taking control of pro pool in such a short amount of time is nothing if not impressive.

I thought there was no conceding in MR?

Great representation, no doubt. I wonder how many on that list will play scottish, uk, WPC, Dubai open, Lushan Open, China Open, Helsinki Open, Euro open, etc. I am not trying to factor in sponsorships, because I have no idea, but how much would Danny Olson have to make each tourney to at...

My concern is that some of our best players not named SVB (Skylar, Oscar, Billy, Hennessee, Jeremy Sossei, etc.) aren't going to globe trot around Europe and Asia, spending time away from friends and family, with not a very high chance to make significant money in the Big tourneys. I could be...

a Couple of thoughts: Right now, MR does not seem to be pulling in too many "new" or "casual" fans from the US. Nothing scientific, just my own observations from the bars, pool room, etc. My personal opinion is that it is the PPV model, Dazn, and having all the Euro and Asian tourneys that are...

Just about seems like the takeover of professional pool is all but complete, and professionals competing at games such as 8 ball, 1 pocket, 10 ball, etc. will be pushed further to the fringes, at least for the time being. Great for some. Also seems like the US will continue to become less and...

Condolences on your grandfather. Mine was my hero, and I miss him everyday.

Which event was scheduled first? If MR scheduled on top of the predator event, would they consider changing dates? Or vice versa?

Don't know if you would consider it, but there was a gorgeous pech. with a cf shaft and maple shaft (test hit only) on the for sale forum for a great price. had to force myself not to pull the trigger.

It likely is a huge boost for the Fillers. Traveling together, not having to worry about your significant other, possibly in a different part of the world... Hopefully they are still in the "honeymoon" phase and haven't started getting on each others nerves yet!:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: Heck, if you...

Easy big fella. First off, I wasn't shitting on anything. Simply making the observation that BH owns the company and can do whatever he pleases. 2nd, some of ya'll act like pro pool players making money is dependent on ya'll jumping to MR's defense each and every time somebody doesn't loudly...

Must have floated away...

Definitely stealing this!

Pretty sure if Barry Hearn wanted to give himself and his entire family byes all the way to the money rounds, Emily would do it with a huge smile on her face.

Your the one who said they weren't interested in a cue made in China, all while expressing interest in a company that makes the vast majority of their cues (including the butt in which you were showing interest) in...you guessed it, CHINA. Knowledge is a good thing.

I tell you what, how about you go on a pool forum and ask in the general section for advice, and then be a smartazz when someone gives you said advice you don't agree with? Deal?

I thought the women had a tour? Will she do this instead of the women's tour or in addition to? Don't like it. But then again I must have missed MR's call when they were looking for my opinion.:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

I think they have a better chance of winning a 1 rack race than they do winning 2 in a normal race. My team missed going to vegas by 1/8th of an inch a few years ago. I had a 3 up against their 7 in sudden death. we win the lag and my 3 hits a beauty of a 2nd row break and the 8 ball is on a...

Anyone noticed they were playing the song "nineball" by Zack Bryan during the post match festivities. I guess MR doesn't mind a song about the dark, sleazy side of pool. :ROFLMAO: For those unfamiliar, there is a whole thread here about it, but the gist is a dad teaches his straight shooting...

One thing Americans love is money. Once it becomes established that a pro pool player can make millions, you will see a resurgence with more and more talented young people. Right now, you have ODP soccer camps, travel baseball, All Star 7 on 7 football, AAU basketball, Robotics camp, Esports...
