Meanwhile, that match *and* interview got more hits and views than any other match or interview at the Dafabet World Pool Masters, including the finals.
Earl is now almost 60 years old and sweet Klenti is 20. Interesting in pool that age doesn't matter, I guess.
I know Earl and understand where he is coming from. It is difficult to be the best in the world in a thankless game that doesn't pay enough to make ends meet, even when you're the best out there.
Pool promoters love Earl because he not only brings in viewers, but he continues to make headlines around the world: https://www.skysports.com/more-spor...trickland-fumes-after-world-pool-masters-exit
That didn't seem too bad at all IMO. Albeit I didn't watch the actual match (only that link) but it seems to me that Earl knows they want him to provide the interviewer and audience with some good jabs and when Earl gets on a roll, he just lets them run.
Seriously, if they know how Earl is...and they do, why even interview him? If you HAVE to interview him...why ask certain questions that you know are going to make him blow his top?
The audience seemed to like it, Kaci seemed to like it, Earl was the center of attention.
Earl was right about one thing though...I know Golf isn't Pool but Justin Thomas had a spectator removed from the gallery b/c the spectator said something Thomas didn't like as they were walking down the fairway. I wouldn't be surprised if fans in the audience purposely didn't couch or reach for a beer in the middle of a shot just to get a reaction
**Disclaimer** If Earl was sharking Kaci in the middle of the game and being loud and disruptive, then that is a little different.
