Johnny,
Was no fan of BB or pro pool. However, I just don't understand the glee with which so many posters at AZ seem to be showing. Perhaps the word should be gloating not glee. In the end, I think we, as pool players, will all suffer from its demise. Just don't understand.

Well that's because what's more important than pro pool and all the lives involved, is that people guessed right that BB would fail. Who would ever want an industry to succeed at the exspense of their own opinion. I mean lets get real now.
Or perhaps B.B. King.
It is unreal in that the people here are always moaning about how pool is dying and how do we fix it.
So Bonus Ball emerged, maybe not the best plan in the world as of yet, but they tried something and what happened here ? They *****ed and moaned and criticised to no end and the OP is glad its failing or failed ?
What does that say about all these people that do nothing but knock things but would never in a million years try something themselves even if they were able to.
You dont have to be a fan of the Bonus Ball idea but for christs sakes, dont knock it constantly when nothing else is being tried.
The fan in me was rooting for bonus ball as I want to see our pro players who work so hard at the game I love make a comfortable living for there efforts and brilliance at it.
The realist and business man in me knew it was doomed. If your going to start a brand new game in a brand new league in a down time for pool and not have the financial backing to lose money for a year or two before it takes off then your doomed from the start. That's a bad recipe no matter what business your starting. Night club , restaurant ...whatever if your opening needing to make money the second the doors open the chips are stacked against you. That's not being a pessimist ...it's being a realist.

I am Spanish. I cringe when I hear him (or Penelope Cruz for that matter) speaking in English :sorry:
I relate the word fall to falling from the top. I have to say that in this case FAILmight be more appropriate.
To my wife and I BB = Breaking Bad, our favorite show!
IPT was not a scam, the guy's real business was though.
IPT failed because their main advertising was through online gambling which got snuffed out in the US. The only other way to pay out as much as they were in prizes was to just take money from something that was profitable and toss it at IPT. I just watched an IPT match I found in a box of pool DVDs and the production was pretty good, as good as the Mosconi Cup, although the waving camera thing was there too often.
