The contention that only a small% of YouTube viewers would buy vids is irrelevant.

How about hand-held camera versions of new-release movies? Think they're ok?

I think they suck bad. In Afghanistan I’d get movies before theater release and sometimes animated scenes would just be like a grey bubble man jumping around ninja style or people doing something in front of a green screen.

I did go check out YouTube though and it’s not just what I thought. True pirated stuff. So no I don’t agree with those being on there since I want pool people making big $ whenever possible.

I figured you needed a chance to clarify your position on the matter

Don't know if this was mentioned, but all matches on the stream table have been uploaded by someone on youtube. I'm sure a copyright claim will be issued soon.

Glen, I beg to differ. Barry Hearn has done more for the sport of Pool then you (or me) will ever do in our lifetime. He has produced the most high profile and most widely watched pro pool events that we have seen thus far. The only thing that I can think of that compares in TV ratings was when Fats played Mosconi decades ago.

We are still waiting for you to put on your first event. I'm sorry to inform you that your highly acclaimed glue does not hold a candle to what Matchroom has done for our sport. There is a good reason Barry Hearn was enshrined into the BCA Hall of Fame. I know it's hard but show a little respect please.

We all have dirty laundry we would prefer not to have aired out and you know what I'm talking about.

Real talk! He is THE MAN! How does Matchroom get it done? Nobody
said he pulls money out of his pocket to put these events on, that would be
a waste of money and a sure way to go broke fast. It's all about the profits
made off gambling thru legal channels. PartyPoker, Betfred, bwin, BoyleSports,
Ladbrokes, PaddyPower, Unibet, William Hill, on and on and on these
companies rightfully put money back into the game. Why the hell did
Party Poker sponsor the US Open 9 ball tournament in Las Vegas when
the only place in USA they conduct business is New Jersey? America isn't
even a sustainable part of their business. We are lucky they are still fighting
to take pool mainstream, despite the clown show here on AZ where people are
somehow defending paying $70 to watch a pool tournament that doesn't
even have a life-changing payout. LOL! Something to chew on: the winner
of the PDC world championship single elimination tournament this year gets
£500,000 which is roughly $643,000. That is one tournament. Life-changing
money! A lot of pressure on the players, the best of the best make interesting
mistakes in these conditions, the gamblers run rampant, the sponsors make
profit, viewership increases, prize money the following year always goes up,
around and around we go! It's a proven formula. Darts is a beer-swilling pub
variety where the players have walk-on music and the crowds dress up like
Halloween and it's a big loud party. Snooker is proper and the players have a
strict dress code and the crowds are fairly silent and respectful. Both work.
There is no reason 9 ball can't have similar success. It needs to be entertaining
to the masses, not focused on this dwindling Accu/AZ cult following, it is time
to acknowledge your petty sweat bets do nothing for the future of the game!

Two weeks and we will be enjoying the 26th year of the Mosconi Cup, an
event created by none other than Barry Hearn with an atmosphere that you
can't compare to anything else. This is what we need more of! I will watch
every shot, and instead of paying $70 and having nothing to show for it, I will
purchase some things from the equipment sponsors Predator and Kamui,

:embarrassed2:

Oh no! RED ALERT! RED ALERT! Someone phone pat fleming now,
he is being bent over and ripped off! SEND IN THE CAVALRY! Someone
is trying to spread popularity to the game - WE CAN NOT HAVE THAT
AND WE WILL NOT STAND FOR THAT!!!

:eek:

Thank you for the red rep, I should give you one back, but then I'd be acting childish like you...LOL

What does a red rep do when you're maxed out with greenies??

Nothing-and everyone here 2 weeks is maxed out on greenies. They should reset it to zero for everyone and start over or eliminate all together as what it is now is of no use or help to anyone.

Well he gets to knock you personally without having to argue with others about it.My first one i was a bit upset-Now i couldn't care less.

When I consider the source, I just have to laugh about it. I've been on AZ far to long to let the trolls get under my skin.
