Big John, you think this boy is a hustler?

Best post in this thread. If you go back 6-7 years, you will find some posts where I made the same comparisons to pro wrestling, saying that promotion is a 24/7/365 job. It fell upon deaf ears.

...or perhaps a date with Django Bustamante.

Promises can be broken because there are no consequences.

Scrap my $50 on #13 - if #16 plays - he's my pick! Freddy and George on the Mic - I wouldn't miss this for anything!

Which is why the people that are leading the game need to be held accountable when situations like this arise. The IPT should have been a wake-up call for the WPA, but sadly, little has changed since then.

... and to quote Kevin Trudeau, "What becomes of these sanctioning fees?"... Maybe someone here can answer these questions publicly - Is there a breakdown of where this sanctioning money goes? Do the players have access to see the breakdown of the sanctioning money? Would there be a...

Requirements are part of life. My arguments is that this is not the players battle to fight. The sanctioning body should establish and enforce the rules. For whatever reason, that is not happening. Right now, there are no consequences for promoters paying late, or not paying at all. There...

Which should tell the wise man - this is not worth it. Barry meets the sanctioning guidelines so that his event meets the requirements for points/rankings with the BCA/WPA. He answers to them. Until the ABP is recognized by any of the official organizations, they will not be taken seriously...

Call me every day. I'll keep you busy.

The article says that he feels that he has no choice but to negate the offer to those past champions that participate in the boycott. That's about as crystal clear as he could put it. IMO, he's not bluffing.

No, just negating the offer to past US Open champions that support and participate in the boycott. Barry just double-dog-dared them. :nanner:

WOW. That's about all I can say right now. WOW. :help:

... and as a last minute birthday present... he got his luggage!!!

It's hard to think of many people that have done more positive things for the game of pool than Jay Helfert.

This conversation is getting weird. :outtahere:
