I will be paying for the Oscar vs Raj TAR as that is a proper exclusive PPV. If I cannot find a free stream of the Mosconi Cup I wont be watching it at all. I refuse to pay for something that SHOULD be available in America on live cable TV and that is being seen live in countries across the friggin Atlantic ocean on live cable TV.

These are the types of things taking place that draw the game away from America and build the sport in areas like Europe and Asia. It is this type of stuff that is causing the death of pool on this continent, and then the Europeans have a tournament where they send 5 European pros to drill the USA and prove how well they are taking the sport over by promoting the growth of the sport in Europe while the sport in America continues to die. Not to me it is not. If something is on TV in one place and is not even aired at all in my own country I have zero problem watching it online for free. This thing is being played in America at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, it is called the "Mosconi Cup", Mr. Mosconi WAS American, and it is not even available to watch on American TV?I will be paying for the Oscar vs Raj TAR as that is a proper exclusive PPV.

I will happily be shelling out $35 to TAR for this weekend for TAR 32, I will not pay Livesport.tv $15 for a live stream of the Mosconi Cup. I know that my money that I spend on the TAR match helps promote an important part of this failing sport, I don't think the $15 I could spend on the stream of the Mosconi Cup would help promote this sport in the slightest and IMO livesport.tv is the WRONG outlet for an event like the Mosconi Cup which SHOULD be on live TV and by paying livesport.tv for the steam I am basically encouraging them to keep doing what I think is the completely wrong thing to do. Basically NO Americans will see the Mosconi Cup live, there is zero chance of people catching this live in a bar and pool getting any promotion from this event whatsoever on this side of the Atlantic, that sucks.These are the types of things taking place that draw the game away from America and build the sport in areas like Europe and Asia.
