Jayson Shaw is looking for a tournament backer
- Thread starter cleary
- Start date
The great one has spoken, just ask him.
What I, really think is interesting, to myself anyway, is that Kimberly tends to think that we are a bunch of Hoodlums on AZ, yet, as soon a Str8 Shots name, alone with Jason Shaw's name was mentioned, there she was.
Thats what I think is interesting. Ok, you guys are interesting too.

Oh darn..maybe next time
steve mizerak was a teacher and a champion at some point wasn't he?? not all pros can make a living off pool alone, most im guessamating. you can work and still practice a few hours a day, real practice. we would love for pool players to get paid for their great talent for this difficult game like most other sports, the reality is that its not there bc theres no viewership, so work and make money to pay your own way, like the rest of us. its sad bc jayson is actually fun to watch, unlike most pros who bore the loiving shit out you. and I thought he was sponosred by lucasi??
if a player cant win on his own money why would a backer think he can win on his when he also gives up a big piece of the winnings.
pro players need to be ambassadors of the sport and get sponsored by companies like any other sport.
tournaments do not have a big enough prize pool for anyone to make real money off of pool.
what they need is to have a much larger entry fee so the prize pool is large. players will need to sell pieces of themselves if they cant pay the fare. this will generate viewers and spectators. that is a way to start a resurgence in the sport.
playing for basically peanuts will get no where

It's kind of funny that people like to tell us what Kimberly thinks, says and does but her actions speak louder than any words that will ever be written in this forum by any of us. I like to look at what a person does even more than what they say. Their appearance means nothing to me.

John Schmidt is still sponsored by Str8-Shots...

Well thank you that's why I said correct me if I'm wrong, looked on their website and couldn't
find mention of who was still sponsored and I thought that I read he was no longer. I stand corrected
and will edit my post to correct my mistake.
Again, Thank You
Mr. Bond,
You appear to have some interesting news that neither I nor Jayson seem to be privy too. My post in response to yours was simple; I’d like to hear the story.
Next you state it is easier and cheaper to prevent fires than to put them out. I agree but if there is no danger of fire, why spend time and money trying to prevent one?
Here is what is factual. There were some issues at Derby City. Jayson knows what those issues are and he is aware of our take on those events. He has asked to go over those issues with us while he is in Denver next week. We will meet and if for some reason an announcement needs to be made after those meetings, we will make it.
Jayson is so much more than what is seen when he is playing pool. He is funny, smart, compassionate, ambitious, and very dynamic. He knows we believe talent will only take you so far in life. He needs to create a brand around himself and his career so that he becomes a sought after commodity. When he makes decisions we encourage him to make good ones that will benefit him in the long run; not just give him short term gratification.
This should clear up any possibility of rumors or speculation people might have regarding the 'interesting story'.
Kimberly
this, is why the question(s) were raised, Kimberly.
thank you, for your response.
PS - maybe ABR should host you this Thursday? (Mr. Bond - this is entirely directed @ YOU!)
I'm aware of what was written by the OP. I think Jayson should be looking for as many people to work with him as possible. The more help he can get, the more events he can play in around the world.
I appreciate you suggesting an interview with ABR but with major events upon us I just do not have time right now.
Take Care!
Kimberly
Don't be mad at ME for saying this, because I'm just being realistic here, but unfortunately it probably won't, because some people will still want to discuss what the 'issues' were in the first place. I hope you understand that, and I hope you understand that their curiosity has nothing to do with me. But I do appreciate you taking the time to respond and I wish you nothing but the best in your future endeavours.
If there is anything I can do to help Str8 Shots achieve their goals feel free to let me know.
Your humble servant-
DBB
Going back to the opening post
Good luck Jayson. I would back you if I was over that side of the world.
From a viewer's point of view, it would be a crying shame if it was just money that stopped a player like this (any player like this) being able to play.

Very well said, Kimberly.
I would have hoped that this post would have served as an opportunity to end the speculative nature of some posts and allow everyone with any real interest in the original subject of Cleary's thread to return to point. Seems some just cannot let go.
