That is the cliffhanger to season 1.

Season 2 is about navigating the international bar scene, think Anthony Bourdain but pool rooms.
In season 2 Jenn is learning different ways Americans are seen globally.
Her well known tactics won't work, so how does she adjust and she gets help from old enemies. The season 2 surprise guest is season1 clifff hanger asian star.
 
200 pool tables and the world is forever changed. Imagine that? $1,400,000 worth of pool tables changed the world. Moscow numbers.

Seems very wasteful to spend $2B-$4B to build a stadium for a team in a local market for Football like the Raiders in Vegas. That $2,000,000,000-$4,000,000,000 compared to $1,200,000. Vegas numbers. How many pool rooms can we open with $2B?

I’m just trying to put some perspective on the scale of things here. Not a knock, just trying to develop a understanding of what’s really going on.

Did you read what I said about bring a package to ESPN with Contrats for advertisers? Money talk, and B***s**t walks.

I would tell you the post number but I know you pass the 3rd., grade.

How do you propose bringing advertisers to ESPN without eyeballs to see their advertising dollars being spent????

I don't need ESPN, and don't give a shit about them, wrong platform, and way to expensive supporting their overhead, because that's the FIRST place advertising dollars get spent!!

Building more pool rooms without providing a reason to advance ones skills playing pool seems like a backward approach. Build the reason to be a Pro, and players will come out of the woodwork and play even more than they already do, that causes new reasons to open new pool rooms.

Supply and demand!!!

I don't think ESPN is very revelent anymore. There is hundreds of outlets now. Just with YouTube you can overdose on pool if you like to watch.
Be nice if pool could find it's way into the mainstream at least a little. May be time for another Mizerak Miller moment.

Or maybe a movie that creates interest. Why not study how snooker runs their shows. Snooker has big sponsors. A business person needs to get involved that really loves pool.

I think one of the biggest differences with snooker is it's actually cultural. From young children to old ladies follow the sport. People who never played follow the the sport, it's part of their culture. You just don't create something like that overnight if at all.

I have been to the Crucible. It was sold out for the whole tournament I was lucky to get in at all. I have never seen a production like that.

In America probably a rodeo with bull riding and calf roping is more cultural then pool will ever be. Pool is what it is and has to figure out how it can flourish within its own confines. Pools following is more subcultural then mainstream so if you're going to do anything you have to start there.

Pool doesn't really have as many problems as some would like to believe. Within its own culture it does very well and has a big following, it just has to recognize it's not a mainstream interest.

Biggest sponsor of Snooker is Betfred, do you know who they are, what they do, and their benefits of Sponsoring Snooker? So don't make the claim Snooker has Sponsors unless you know who they are, just saying! Thats a completely different animal in that sponsorship in the United States!!!

What are u even talking about? Mark Wilson said that Rolls Royce , Caribbean Cruises and Rolex sponsored Snooker games. So considering Mark has been over Europe and shot snooker with Jimmy White and Steve Davis I will take his word for it. Personally I don’t know you or anything about you so I’m not really concerned what you think.

Now that does make some sense about culture and pool is not Main stream

Glenn appears to have inside track on all of Pro Cue Sports, he is working diligently on a fix for Pro Pool.

I understand he has both a Crystal Ball & Magic 8 Ball on order from Amazon to help him.

Give him time Pro Pool is like a USN Super Aircraft Carrier, will take a lot time and lots of Ocean to turn 180 degrees.
