Mike Dechaine has no sponsors?

Regardless of his character or personality or whatever, the fact that the #2 player in the USA has no sponsors is a pathetic commentary on the state of pool in North America.

I don't care how much of a douche you are, the #2 anybody in ANY other sport/activity has sponsors up to wazoo for big $.

I would not agree with this at all.
I am not commenting at all about Mike's demeanor, personality, etc. When I say this, I don't know him.
But I will say that a company looks at more than just skill when evaluating a player for representation.

Just ask Ryan Lochte, Ray Rice or a host of others.......

I hope he gets adequate sponsorship (if he does not have already).

When your ranked #2 in the country, yet have lost several sponsor deals and banned from several big tournaments, I would venture a guess that MD is not an easy guy to deal with,
As others have mentioned, companies look for more than results when they look at canidates for sponsorship.
 
Not only does he not have sponsors. He's been kicked off of the Joss
tour and the predator tour. This means he can't play the turning Stone events. He did this to himself
Mathematically impossible to get on the mosconi cup again with out turning stone points from both events.

Years of cup money flushed down the drain.

Hope it was worth it?

I don't know why it's not on the predator tour. But the joss Tour he threaten to beat up Mike zuglan this was last week at the ocean state championships
 
On another note, Max Eberle has just stated that Dechaine's f***ing enormous round head is actually flat.
At a recent tournament a kid said to Max " But there's Dechaine right over there, you can see his head is round."
Max just smiled and said" smoke and mirrors my friend, smoke and mirrors."

I haven't laughed that hard in a long time.

I know him well enough to not be surprised he has no sponsors.


I haven't talked to you in two years mostly because of similar comments. You think you know everything!!

As far as having no sponsors, it's been my decision. I wanted to play this past year free on commitments. In the past, I've had issues with equipment and had zero to minimal say on how i felt like it needed to be adjusted or changed. As far as Snookers, I moved back to Maine to tend my property's. I have never, not once, been dropped from one my a sponsors.

Mike, I am often called a dick by people that don't know me. I am always called a dick by the people that do ( but they're my boys and their docks too lol so we get along just fine ). I'm half kidding. My point is this, I don't know you one way or the other, not particularly a fan, but I'm very glad to see you on here defending yourself and what is or is not really doesn't matter. You will always get people talking sheet about whenever they can about someone when they play SO FAR over their head they couldn't compete with ya even in their wetest dream. I respect your pool game and I respect you, until you do something to me personally. In the words of Joe Dirt - just keep on keeping on ☺

Good for you, Mike.

Since you have no sponsors, I think a lot of people might be curious what you're playing for a cue/shaft since you can play pretty much anything you want now.
 
A smart Pro (hey now) would seek in-roads to media companies like Comcast, ABC, Spectrum Cable, ESPN, Etc and develop relationships. Its not just for promoters anymore. Get in there and make it happen.

I have never met Mike, but it takes a great pool player, personality that fits a sponsor, and a drive to push a sponsor's products. Maybe the size of ones head is a deciding factor.:rolleyes:

Can you finish your thought here? I was interested in what you were going to say... "it takes a great pool player, personality that fits a sponsor, and a drive to push a sponsor's product"... then nothing. What takes all that you mentioned? WTH were you going to say before your brain gave out?


Maybe the size of your head is the deciding factor in whether or not you can complete your thought.

Oops, I think I've been hit in the head one too many times. It is seriously getting harder to think sometimes, and the anger...


F@ck it, I'm not able to complete my own thoughts.
