Nothing was deleted by me. Can't see Lou's post because he is blocked.

Lou can get played for 30k in Oklahoma City. That's play money for me at this point in my life. Thank you for 6 months of advertisement Lou. I told you I made up the money in less than a week and from there things have only gone up.

You tube appears to be deleting old videos on their own. Probably videos that don't get watched anymore.

Anyway this is the only one left. I will reupload them.

By the way, thank you Lou and did you report the 10k to the IRS? I bet you didn't. How many ways did you split it up?

That you think I deleted it is dumb. Was one of the best marketing moves I ever made.

The only way it would have been better is of I had trained like I should have and beaten you easily.

30k is sitting here waiting for you to come and take it. 10 ahead. I will give you an extra $1000 for the hotel and bus fare.

No need for back and forth. Some yes or no and agreement on a start date. Someone will let you know what I said.

 
I found the playlist. Don't know why it's not showing up in search but it's still there. I am sure that the professional "PR" guy jumped to the conclusion that I removed it but I did no such thing. And furthermore I want to thank him for bringing it back. I will never regret stepping up to play this bully. My only regret is that I thought he played worse than he actually does and so I didn't train like I should have and beat him. He really sucks. Yes I played like a donkey but I can hold my head up because I did what I said I would do and stepped up to a player that everyone said is far superior. This guy is a POS and can get played in OKC for 30k - the invitation has been open for many years. But it took a jerkoff from Arizona to get this little dog to finally get off the porch after he ducked me for years and a team of people to jack with me in the lead up to the match to help him win. Granted I fell into it as expected, not much to me, I wear my heart on my sleeve and don't bother with deception, an open book pretty much. So no excuses there, I had all the opportunity one could ever want to be fit and ready and I failed. But I am not scared, wasn't then and am not now.

This whole thing was a marketing experiment and it worked fantastically. Traveling around the midwest I had people telling me their negative Lou stories and giving me advice. I couldn't have asked for a better way to promote JB Cases than how that six months went. 10k was a cheap price to pay. And CTE is stronger than ever as well. The only one who hasn't moved on is Lou who will cling to that one 9-6 victory over a traveling cue case salesman as the best thing he ever did in pool. Meanwhile I own an iconic pool room in OKC that I bought in cash, have one of the top brands in pool, and have been profitable every single year since the match. Anyway, enjoy the match for those of you who haven't seen it. It's a masterclass on what NOT to do.

You have spastic John Barton the case maker challenging Lou "the storyteller" Figueroa butchering the beautiful game of one pocket. Lou played better. No doubt. But for sure he didn't play well enough to win if I had actually trained correctly instead of being a complete doofus. And I have 30k to back that up any time he wants to get off the porch again.

As a matter of fact I will play the whole thing at my pool room this Friday at our pool room Christmas party. No one cares but you Lou. That was your finest moment in pool. But I beat you when we met in a tournament. BEAT YOU. I knew nothing about one pocket and I BEAT YOU. In Chicago. You had already ducked me once when I came to St. Louis to play you.

You ducked me again when I offered to play you before the match. I offered to freeze up all the money and you declined. Maybe your partners didn't wire it to you yet......

At Derby I offered to DOUBLE THE BET and post it all. No takers despite you bragging that you had a crowd of backers bidding to back you.

When did you finally offer to raise the bet? The FIRST DAY OF MY SHOW at the Super Billards Expo. Yep, you couldn't even let me do the show in peace. You made a calculated move to BOTHER me at the busiest show of the year for us with that BS. So I had people coming up all day to ask if I was going to accept your raise.

That's why you got the eff you when you repeated the offer at the venue two days after the Super Billiards Expo when we played. I almost let you have the 3k but I wanted to play and give the fans the show since I paid for the arena, since I paid for the table YOU wanted to be moved into the arena, and since I wanted to see how I would do against you.

You're a world-class piece of garbage as a human in my opinion. A low-down rotten backstabbing lying piece of crap that makes pond scum seem noble. You're an internet bully and the people here don't know you like many of us know you from Rec.Sport.Billiards 24 years ago.

They don't know or care about all the vile things you have said to and about the good people in this sport and industry. They don't know or care about all the "stories" you made up or embellished along the way. But there are those who do know and don't forget. There are plenty of us who know just how awful you are.

Anyway.....you bring it up and we will keep it going. I have lived all of your pool dreams and will live many more that you won't ever have the opportunity to. You're a pawn in a larger game and always will be. I am not happy that I didn't win but I know why I didn't and know what I need to do if you ever did get off the porch and play again. You won't though because you were scared then and needed to be cattle-prodded by others into joining their conspiracy to "get john". And you think it worked but you are too stupid to see how much money you left on the table by your antics. In other words you found out what happens when you go too far with the bullshit. If your little group thought you were stealing you would have locked up the 20k I offered to freeze up SIX WEEKS before the match.

But they didn't. So you got to divide up 10k after deducting expenses. And you got to take a mason jar and write on it that it contains my soul. Which you could have done anyway since it's meaningless.

So go on son, relish your one meaningful victory. When we played I was traveling the country in a used Dodge minivan selling cases. You even bragged about "taking all my show profit". Just three days ago I bought a 2022 Mercedes for $110,000. Our third. Traded a Porsche in towards it. That minivan? I have used it extensively and loaned it out a dozen times to people in need. It finally drove the last mile when a hit and run driver plowed into it at 60 mph on Sunday. I bought a pool room for 180k in cash.


Why do I "brag" on here about material things? Because you made a shitty comment about "taking our profit" and because of the racist comments you made against my wife and my staff. Because of the racist comments your boss made against my wife. That's why I mention it. Having more money than you doesn't make me better. It's just that you didn't bust me and even if you had I would have been back to flush

I have enjoyed a wonderful life since we played in March 2014. Getting to play with Accustats recording and Pat Fleming managing the stream was a dream for me. Win or lose I already won by just being able to be there. You're just another episode in my awesome life while you winning against me was clearly the pinnacle of yours. You're welcome. Be sure to thank your backer for forcing you to play.

30k, OKC 10 ahead. Not holding my breath.
 
Dang, John, as good as you are you need to quit futzing around with those silly old cases and hit the road. Heavy jack is no object so you can play your own and still eat steaks and stay at the Marriot. The world is your oyster, Bro. It's time to show these patsies the Real John Barton.
 
I hope this goes off. Also hope it it eclipses the DannyHarrimanxradartransjschmidtjaysonshaw clusterfuthread.
Not going to happen. What you will see is Lou coming with EXCUSES. Bad knees, must travel to him, 10 ahead takes too long blah blah blah.

Nah, I really suck. I have figured that out long ago. If Fargo Ratings have done anything for me they have shown me exactly where I stand. If I went on the road I would have to turn around before hitting the city limit.

But I could probably get good enough to take Lou out. Or maybe not. Just not afraid to try.

Sure hope there’s action!

I respect guys who get up and play
don't bother because he will NEVER play. The one thing that scares him more than losing to me is losing the money of those who would bet on him. He knows he dodged a bullet even though he wants to be mealy-mouthed and go between acting like he was stealing and acting like it should have been close.

I am 99.99% certain he won't play. But I leave .01% to be surprised. I am so certain that I will bet that he doesn't accept the offer and post the 30k by January 30th. I will give 5-1 odds on that and bet my $500 to anyone elses $100. So IF he has backers who can get him off the porch here is their chance to pick an easy $500.

8 ahead I think is the right length for a full blown 1P match. For any 2 players.

I don’t have a pick in this action, I’d just love to see it happen. Old school pool, no bullshit. Get up and play🙏🏼😍🩸🥊

Dear Lou,

DON'T accept his offer until February the 2nd. Me and the boyz could sure use a couple of loose fivers.

don't worry the offer won't be accepted at all.

OK, so you're laying 5 to 1 he won't take your offer. If the fellas take your bet and Lou is a no show, then you stand to lose a lot of 5 hundred dollar bills, eh?
 
I have no idea what it going on between these two posters, but I wanted to chime in on something regarding YouTube that was mentioned.

The eSports production team I am part had a production job last week at one of the biggest tournaments in the northeast. Some prominent content creators were present and I had the chance to chat with one of them and they confirmed that YouTube is indeed starting to take down videos that are very old by date uploaded and that get no views anymore. Seems like someone over there realized they should start doing some cleaning and chances are that is why the videos spoken of here are no longer there.

Regardless, keep up the great work everyone!
 
I only have a few things to say about all this:

1. As I said in my thread with the videos: "...the match has disappeared from YouTube, for unknown reasons and by unknown hands." I have not accused John of having them removed.

2. I have explicitly told John *many, many* times he will *never* get played again, so all his current bravado is empty bluster. But that's what John does.

3. I have never made racist comments about John's wife or staff. I did make a comment when John said after he beat me he'd buy his staff steak and lobster to celebrate. Post match, it was sumthin' like: looks like fish head soup for the staff : -)

Not really replying to the above. Just wanted you to get the notification to grab your attention.

Just wanted to say that I was disappointed I didn't get the opportunity to shake your hand and have a conversation last August in Vegas. The top of my todo list when I was there was to find your booth and chat. I've heard rumour that you've moved away from 'event booths' in your business model. It reads like business hasn't been better so it appears to be the correct choice. Glad things are going well, but saddened that we'll likely never get the opportunity to meet.
