Has anybody ever said the players shouldn't care what the prize money is? It's their livelihood. In the same way, I care what I'm getting paid, but it's not going to be of any interest to anybody else on this site. Why would it?
Obviously I want the players to be paid well, and I want the sport to be able to survive financially. But other then that, the exact figures don't bother me. I just want to see a decent match.

It's called a devastating lack of clinical edge and will continue to hold him back until he looks after number one.

even and its a BIG if, they make the finals of each of the 2 events abroad, they have 4 days till the next event so ample time to travel and get ready, hardly like they need much time to practice before each event if theyve came into it off the back of a final or win and are fully up to match speed.
tennis players and golfers have similar schedules globetrotting across the world from week to week and they get on with it. Does snooker want to become a proper sport or remain a joke??
For me, Ronnie, Robbo, the "International Playboi" who only plays at home, Ding, Higgins and Williams fall into the Ali "i cant wait to get home" Carter category after failing to play in Brazil.
The line up for this event is now arguably the most dull and uninspiring in snooker history. Full of bores and non-personalities. The glimmer of hope of snooker having a chance of making a breakthrough in Brazil has been killed off before it even had a chance, thanks to these stay away losers.
