When was the last time a pool player was offered flight, hotel, (and I am sure that meals would be bought by some do gooder in Vega$ as well) plus a guaranteed $1,000 and a chance to win $5,000 more? This is before you get some backer to put up more cheese for you to fire at.
To me, it is unreal but I guess I shouldn't be surprised that two pool players didn't jump over a goat on the edge of a cliff to get to this opportunity. However, it shouldn't break down to people calling these two names (or for that matter even more shocking is that Danny would even call JCIN any kind of name even in fun) as I respect John (but don't really know him except for drinking a beer with him one time in Vega$) and respect Danny as he has had his quirks but is a pool player that I feel can be trusted with money. Beyond that, why the two of them can't realize that this is another big stepping stone for TAR. I was involved in one TAR match (and another as a after the main show event) and can tell you all Justin got was a % of the live attendance gate and his hotel paid. In honesty, it didn't amount to much but was something which was better than nothing. Unfortunately, Justin won too easy and the DVD was never made so he got nothing from that as well. A few years later, we are to a nice offer of guaranteed amount of money by TAR.
I am not sure if JCIN thought this would get into a negotiation. If so, he might have started with expenses plus $500 guaranteed and $3000 to the winner. But again, in my mind, there should be no negotiation -- it should be a done deal.
John and Danny - how much is the most you have made in a year from a sponsor? Was it $118,548? I'll do the math for you -- $1,000 guaranteed for 3 days play for TAR. That is $333 a day X 365 days in a year = $118,548.
And this is just the first go around for TAR. What if the PPV is more than what JCIN and his business partners think it will be. Maybe next time it goes to $2,000 and $10,000 for the winner.
But all that is being talked about is what has happened in the past. Nothing about the future. Once again, a pool player(s) is ready to cut off their nose to spite their face. Between this thread and reading about CW and Mika, no wonder why pool is dead.
Kudos to you, John...I hope this match goes off as I do believe it is THE one people want to see. I have exchanged a few pms with Danny since he emailed me about my bringing it up on a TAR podcast. I threw it out there as the match people want to see and Justin agreed and this is where it has went from there.
I don't know if Danny will accept but I did tell him that he would regret it if he didn't play. A missed opportunity rarely presents itself ever again...
Good luck to both of you and I know that both will bring their top game and give the fans another epic match...

Unfortunately, I think the opportunity has passed Danny by:

Wow! This thread is close to 400 postings...about a match that won't even occur.I can't wait to see what JCIN will come up with next...I wonder if Johnny Archer would take the same deal to play Shane on TAR??? That is another one I believe the fans would pay to see...I guarantee the table would be picked free of all lint and chalk by the time JA gets done...

i'd like to suggest that instead of issuing a match challenge here on the forums, that Justin try quietly using back channels instead.

Couldnt possibly be I had a reason for doing it the way I did it. I mean what the hell do I know about putting matches together ?

Hmm, maybe President Obama should appoint you to be the U.S. ambassador to Iran or North Korea? You can then apply your skills in putting matches together toward negotiating a resolution to the talks on nuclear disarmament..

Just as on the national and international stage, it's often better to do things "quietly" through diplomatic channels than try to resolve the issues through the press or in this case, on a discussion forum.
Since your approach apparently didn't work, maybe now you can tell us why you decided to issue your challenge to JS and DH on a discussion forum?

Wasn't Donnie Mills calling out anybody within the CONUS except SVB a few months back? Maybe John Schmidt vs. him?
