It sends a clear message about what he thinks of snookers slow decline from the golden years and I think he let a lot of people down in the crowd by denying them perhaps the only chance they'll ever get to see a 147 in person.

Exactly, he's let the paying public down once again and especially for the folk who've never witnessed a 147! Why not make the maximum and give the £10k to a worthy charity?

It's like in someways us working for a big massive company, where we've been the driving force, we've took the company to new heights, we've made the company bigger, we bring in more customers then anyone else, then we get a £10 bonus in a wage slip.
Might be another stupid statement from me but you can see where I'm trying to come from here.

I thought it was funny he was laughing all the way through but he made a valid point stating a 147 is worth more than 10k and wanted the pot to build up more to make it worth while. Some other players getting all righteous etc about the 10k and charity really need to stfu, snooker needs characters snooker needs coverage and like Dean said any publicity is good publicity...even my Mrs was talking about it as it was all over the news in the gym.

"It's like going into a Mercedes garage and when they say that you can have the car for £3,000, you reply, 'No way, that's too cheap. I'm not buying it for that'.
This statement just goes to show how disconnected from reality he really is.
