Hearn: £1 million to WC
Re: Hearn: £1 million to WC
Bloody hell.
Also quite stark - first year they started in the Tavern they took £60k in gate money. Now they take £3.5m! The PL is no longer the only money spinner.

Re: Hearn: £1 million to WC
The difference is that the PDC gets the full benefit of the Worlds , whereas the PL is Matchroom run and so they get the profits and pay the PDC a fee.
Re: Hearn: £1 million to WC
Great interview.
honest. Never saw it growing this much. But still dreams.
no wild card for any player to the world championships.

Re: Hearn: £1 million to WC
Not really, it is what it is, I'm not trying to suggest anything, I was just saying that the Worlds growing is financially good news for the PDC more so than the success of the PL.
Matchroom came up with the PL concept , hired the venues, got the sponsors, got the tv and crowds and gave PDC £1m a year - which was used to set up the Pro Tour.
Dunno what the numbers are these days but the point is the PDC will not get the full benefit.

Re: Hearn: £1 million to WC
I certainly thought so.
Much more interest maintained than with the normal Tungsten Darts interviewer.

Re: Hearn: £1 million to WC
All kidding aside, that was actually a decent interview.
Used statements which acted as open questions, maintained eye contact and responded to what Hearn was saying to show she was listening and fed off the response to get more information ("Tell us!").
Also, most importantly, she only said Barry Hearn's name once.

Agree, and as I articulated, much better interview than those we saw during the WC by the regular from Tungsten Tales.1205 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 04, 2019 8:59 pmAll kidding aside, that was actually a decent interview.
