    Unreal stuff. He nearly always hits the same spot in the treble 19 and all.

    Missed the last few sets as had to nip out. Fair fucks to the lad. He's gotta be the first darts player since Fordham who has a BMI double his age though

    Eddie Hearn saying viewership peaked at 2.32m last night.

    That's insane for subscription TV.

    Semis and final on random weeknights is classic Barry Hearn shrewdness. Not up against top flight soccer or people's social lives.

    I do really like Barry Hearn and he's an outstanding operator who seriously understands his audience. Would have been interesting to see what he'd have done with team sports had he been given the chance.

    Matchroom Sport had discussions with rugby league but wanted to run the full lot, which the waxworks who oversee its continued failure refused to consider, so they walked and went round saying the sport was fucked.

    It is amazing to see the continued moans from some of the top pros in snooker about the changes he's brought in. I get that they don't want to do these things (play from a flat 132 draw, play in leisure centres etc.) but you can't argue that it's kept a moribund sport afloat and is a proper tour now rather than the six or so tournaments a year joke they had before he took over.

    There's loads of vids of him on Youtube that I had a trawl through a while back and I particularly enjoyed his performance at the committee that decided what to do with the Olympic Stadium. Genuinely entertaining stuff - he has charisma and knowledge of his field in spades.

    What the snooker players moan about is the same thing that the golf top 10 have moaned about since time immemorial and has led to the nightmare scenario that that sport is now in - i.e. they believe that their talent creates all the value and that they should be rewarded commensurately. Hearn is one of the very few sports administrators / promoters who understands that the value doesn't only come from their talent but in what it is they are playing for and what that means to people watching.

    Hendry v O'Sullivan over 35 frames in a Matchroom exhibition = pays out money to players, for the viewer mildly interesting at best. Hendry v O'Sullivan over 35 frames in a Crucible final = appointment viewing, and without it the money for that exhibition just wouldn't be put up. Hearn knows this but top players don't.

    Two excellent posts from yev and Jim there. Agreed with everything. Fat face Murphy arguing that some random qualifier beating him in the UK champs the other year was almost illegitimate because he was too shit to be allowed to play him was bad enough, but then loads of fellow top pros coming out and agreeing with him was truly bizarre. It's one thing to basically argue this implicity, like the European super league thingy, but it was essentially the same as a prem team getting dumped out in the third round of the fa cup then the manager saying it wasn't fair cus Aldershot shouldn't have been allowed to be in the game in the first place.

    Anyway, darts, good ennit.

    I think Darts would be 5 times more enjoyable if they didn't insist on keeping the "WUUUUNUNDREN AND FEEERTY SEVUUUN" Cunt with the microphone.

    I love that it exists in a bubble, untouched by modern developments. Although, that said, the more spotlight this kid puts on the sport the more the offense brigade will pipe up, probably starting with the cheerleaders.

    I wouldn't be shocked if this actually had happened at some point, though without the sulk.

    The one thing I don't like with that whole thing is that one hundred and seventy whatever should be announced with as much gusto as a 180.

    I read that he's undefeated in summat like 18 matches across the last few tournaments. Man is usually a machine but he's wobbling a little here.
