Bar Box Stream Viewers Vs 9'

[Johnnyt]

Which gets more veiwers, bar box or 9' on streams? I'm talking about top pro players...not regional tours. Both free and PPV. It looks to me that the bar box gets plenty of veiwers when there are top players playing on them. I also think that if poolrooms put 7' Diamonds in w/o the coin-op and charged the same as 9' per hour the Bar Boxes in most rooms would have more time on the BB's than the 9'.Too many people in this industry were/are pool players and look down on Bar Boxes. I think a lot of them are missing the boat business wise. Johnnyt

As a fan watching bar table pool does nothing for me, I do enjoy playing bar table 8 ball in the pubs, fun game and lots of strategy. If I was a room owner I would have twice as many bar tables for every 9 footer I had in the place, just makes sense.

A lot of room here have both. The 9's get more table time by far.

I don't think I'd pay to watch a bar box stream. The only good thing about the bar boxes (imo), is the strategy and patterns one has to play to get out with all that congestion (8ball). However, I'm not one to pay to watch someone think. I want to watch pros come with the tough shots we amateurs aren't favored to make and string more racks together than I can.
