So where’s the line? If the drug cartels want in is it just capitalism? How about child traffickers money? Your response showcases the point I made in the last sentence of the post you quoted. That as long as it facilitates a pro pool tour, many here and in the pool world are willing to look past or downplay anything, you don’t care where the money comes from.
I never mentioned anything about whether I agree with the business decisions or not. Just that the decisions were made to maximize profit. As for the Pia decision, did MR ever make a press announcement that she was chosen to "champion women's rights"? Seems obvious to me they did it simply to potentially widen their viewing base, whether Pia was worthy of the spot or not.
It’s clear that it’s money driven, everything MR does is. I get that MR is a business but I don’t like the things they’re doing to the game I love. Frankly if the Demon Behrman spawn hadn’t sold the rights to the US Open out from under Pat Fleming to MR I really wouldn’t give a damn what MR does with their WNT, Queen Emily could sit on a Rasson table covered in grey cloth and shove a purple 5 ball up her bum.
Yeah. I think we all figured out that sometime ago..
Eat crap you truck driver.
What do you have against truck drivers? Some of them are Kings of the Road!
Nothing except he talks like one.
These are Top 100 players from Matchroom ranking who automatically qualified. Will be 10 Saudi wildcards and 18 wildcards chosen by Matchroom. All 128 players guaranteed minimum $1000
Wow, This is the strongest field of any event ever. 37x800s i.e. 37x top 50 Fargo players (about 75%). And there may be few more top 50 from the 18 wildcards. Stronger than recent superstrong UK Open and most major events which only have 45% to 60% of top 50 Fargo.
The recent UK Open was a "black swan" event with NO 800s/top 50 Fargo in the semifinals. Something is very wrong if none of these 37 gets into the semis this time
