I wonder if it's happening here?

Looks like a really nice place for pool.
fire v. ice, leggo!
real contrast
fast v slow
shotmaking v cb control
If Roy asks for donation like Filler v Aranas , they should do quite well. I would think this will draw even more viewers. Filler v Aranas was around 4.5K views
Donations they collected at least $16K+
Add some sponsorships
Each player around at least $7K to $8K
The free stream and asking for donations appears to be the better marketing tool for these matches. When you have several thousand pool fans watching and enjoying the match, the donations can be substantial, much better than a couple hundred hard core fans who have to pay each day.
I wonder if Filler was the one who pushed for a 9 footer. He's a great shot maker who can get loose with the cue ball so playing on a bigger table definitely helps him negate some of those issues.
It will be played at the same place Bergman drilled Morra in 10 ball earlier this year. Justin will be comfortable with the table, but it may not matter. I think Filler is just too strong.
Bergman is a great player no doubt, but playing a left handed Morra is no comparison to playing Filler. It is a shame that Morra can’t go back to playing right handed- he was playing top notch pool before he was forced to switch
