americans in the ibc tour...

[bruin70]

curious,,,, how many americans participate in the ibc tour, or any tour of international significance?

i know nothing of what's going on in the pool world at this level, or the politics, or economics, or the logistics involved. but because i don't believe the future lies in america, i would think that the international scene has better legs, and the opportunity for americans to network into a community that may be more lucrative(in the long run), is the best way to go.

certainly, only a few americans could sustain,or have backers to sponsor them abroad. but heck, there's no big time tour in the US....so what the hell.

well, i know nothings getting done here. i know mika is god in the phillipines, probably earl too since he gets invited there a lot.

i wonder if earl and archer are sponsored,,,,i assume they are. i would guess cuetec especially. honestly, i think there should be more americans, but realistically i think i was expecting only a very few, archer and earl being in there. i see breedlove's name. interesting, he's got the money i guess. maybe he's networking his business.

maybe there's no one in america anyone's willing to back. lot's o' great players but who's gonna want to back anyone else, and who's got something to network. maybe "fury" cues and rodney morris? i would've expected predator backing someone. this is a business deal. you don't pay for someone to play around the world without some benefit from it.
