'I used Ronnie O'Sullivan to promote pool - he couldn't keep up with the pros today'

EXCLUSIVE: Barry Hearn once used snooker elites like Ronnie O'Sullivan to promote one of his other favourite sports - but he insists transitioning players wouldn't stand a chance today

The article from the Mirror discusses Barry Hearn's vision for Ronnie O'Sullivan to transition from snooker to pool, aiming to elevate the profile of pool in the UK. Hearn, who has been instrumental in promoting snooker, believes that O'Sullivan's involvement could significantly boost pool's popularity, especially given the sport's larger global audience compared to snooker. He highlights the potential for pool to become a major sport in Britain, similar to its status in the US, and mentions the success of the Mosconi Cup as an example of pool's appeal. Hearn also reflects on his past efforts to bring pool to the forefront, including a notable event at Wembley in 1990, and expresses his ongoing commitment to making pool a household name in the UK.
