Incardona Fisher challenge match
- Thread starter wincardona
- Start date
Billy I respect the fact that you are coming on here without a big ego and making a challenge that you yourself do not think you have the best of. There is no reason for anyone to be negative towards you and your challenge.
Frankly, I am surprised that you would want to challenge Allison Fisher. I remember during your commentary on the last TAR match... that you said that losing to a women was one of the last things you'd ever want to do. I think it'd be tough going into a match against the best woman player in pool with the fear in the back of your mind of actually losing to a woman.
I'd really like to see this match go off. TAR should try setting this match up. I think it would get a lot of buys.

Hey Ken. OF course a race to five. Who on TV wants to see a race to 50 ? Only pool geeks and pool geeks dont spend the money that NFL'ers or MLB fans spend. Ever see even 5,000 at a pool event ? Ever see one in a civic center ? (US open excluded). The sad fact is that you couldn't kidnap enough people to make this worthwhile to a TV network. And without that, I can go down to the local pool hall and watch guys cut each other up for $100 a set and get a cheaper thrill. Its sad that most dont' realize that right now, pool is nothing more than entertainment. No one cares who wins or loses because there is always another guy ready to step in your place. Ask Ginky what its like to return to the matches.

I saw first hand how most guys act when they get beat by a female. Back in the 1960's five of my friends put up fifty dollars each for me to dress up like a woman and hustle pool in a bar. Two of their wifes dressed me in some of their clothes, wig, and did my nails and make-up.
Almost evey guy I beat called me lucky, called me a lesbian, or left the bar right after he paid me. Everything was going good until late in the evening. At that point more of them were intrested in grabbing my ass than beating it on a pool table. The wifes made me look too good. But then again every women starts to look better the later it gets in a bar. Johnnyt

I'm sure someone back in NY has a photo of that. I'll e-mail some of the ones that were there to see if anyone took pictures. I never had my picture taken if I could help it back then, but in this case I don't know why I would mind. I'll post it if I get one. Johnnyt
the real issue is brains
No "woman" is smart enough to play quarterback in the NFL. Easy to prove, there aren't any out there!
Not surprisingly, Billy has it right. He can beat Allison, Allison can beat him. I give Billy a bit more credit than he seems to give himself while trying to set up this deal but anyone that thinks that either one is a lock is mistaken. Give Billy the race to fifty, give Allison a table set up for WPBA play and TV lights. It could be very interesting or a blowout either way, just depending on the given day. IF Allison pulls ahead by seven games or more at any point, it's likely to be over. She closes better than probably anyone alive except Efren.
I agree that there are hundreds of men that can beat Allison, but I doubt seriously that there are ten that she can't beat on a given day if they play using WPBA rules, tables, and a shot clock. I heard that the only reason that she didn't play Sigel was the deep cloth. Had the IPT given her the fast cloth the battle of the sexes would have been much more interesting.

This can be debated over and over. Allison kicks ass. But, she hasn't got the constant threat of multiple racks run against her Except by eight or ten other women. We'll never know. I will say this though, ask her. Ask Jeanette. How many men play better than Tony Watson in the world? I guarantee neither one of them will play Tony even, on their own cash, in a race to fifty or an ahead set. If they do. Call me. You can win all of the disposable income I have at that time.
How many men will play Tony even? Quite a few, I'd imagine. That is an honest perspective. Also, a side note. How many of you guys have actually seen the ladies gamble? You don't see it quite so much, now. But, a few years back, it was more prevalent. I am not going by what I see on TV. I've sweated and played a couple of them. Billy made this challenge for one reason, and if you think he believes he is trying to stretch out... you're wrong. You don't ask for a game you don't believe you can win.

Hey man, it's nothing personal. Just business. If I thought she could beat someone, I'd be pumping her up and betting on her. You could call her Billy Bob, if you want. Has nothing to do with her being female. She won't outbreak a lot of men, and string a lot of racks like a lot of the top men. And in a winner breaks format, you have to do both. Alternate breaks is another story. There are only few of the guys that I believe have the best of it.Johnnyt said:

It would be silly NOT to do it, battle of the "sexes" just like Bobby Riggs and Billy Jean King in tennis, I think the outcome would be the same (female wins).
When the IPT did its inaugural pitch' with the Lori John Jones and Sigel match, I think a HUGE chance was missed by not having Allison play Mike, Allie could of won, could of been the shot in the arm the industry could of used, maybe this too could be marketed properly to the media....you never know.
