Sure, many people would love to view the entire run for free. So they throw mud at John and try to pressure him to release the unedited video and accuse the BCA and him of a grand conspiracy until he does so. While that is obviously the track that some of you have took, I think that I will ignore the conspiracy theory in this case, because John has done about all that I would have personally done in this situation.
EDIT: And I already know...people are going to claim that they don't want to see the unedited video for FREE, what they really want to do is to CERTIFY that the run is legit themselves. Really? So unless every Tom, Dick, and Harry pool player also certifies that the run was legit, then it's not legit? I don't think so...

Another facebook puppet/rodent of fake news - many members have already offered good $ for their own signed copy - and received no answer - so his and bca's monetary return has been weak at best - if u would have followed the same business model that j.s. and bca have - u have about as good uh' chance of being a successful marketing strategist - as a proverbial snow ball flying through the lower regions of hell. Just cause we are asking for proof of the claim - does NOT mean - we are conspiracy theorist's (but that does seem to be a common theme from u facebook puppets). So you'll have to do better than that puppet - my grip is probly much stronger than that of yer's capiche? Also Mosconi's record is not bca/j's. intellectual property - nor is it for sale or rent - unless they provide unedited tape of proof - u know it and so do i. When u said as long as a type of governing body (bca's 2 people who are not 14.1 players) I thought u were going to say a type of special interest group i.e.bca. U are a sad puppet who helps to spread and or promote fabricated lies - u did not get too far.

Then I guess that it just personally burns you that JS owns the rights to the video and he won't let you see it. Well, it's his video and he can do with it what he wants. He obviously never found a way to make a lot of money from the record run, outside of the extra money that he got from Predator based on his contract with them.

No, that's not really the central claim.
Part of the problem, amongst several issues, is people talking about the BCA as if were actually a big, well run organization that would automatically fulfill whatever requests for "certification" it received with some sense of proper due diligence. But in past conversations on this subject it came to light that the "BCA certification" was accomplished by two guys at that office who have dubious 14.1 credentials. So it's reasonable to question the blessing handed down by our sport's great governing body.

I really don't know if this is a reasonable assertion or not. I don't know who specifically reviewed the video and their qualifications. Did someone from Predator review the video to confirm the run on their own? Or did they use the BCA certification? I heard that JS would receive extra money from Predator for breaking the record, so I assume that they did some kind of due diligence themselves. If JS got paid extra money by Predator, that is typically a case where the run would need to judged as rock solid by them before they would pay a big hunk of change to JS.

While he may own the rights to his fictional now defunct claim of 626 - neither he or bca has any form of propriety in regards to Mosconi's 526. Mosconi has much more than a chopped video in relation to verifiable evidence. Any more questions from the peanut puppet gallery?

Because YOU personally call the 626 a defunct claim does not make it so. We have the BCA and Predator that believes that the run is legit. Do you really think that Predator would pay out on a contract obligation if the run was defunct? I don't think so.

After almost two years of them trying to sell the idea that there is an unedited video - and still no video available - does lean towards the healthy conclusion -that their chopped video is either defunct and or fictional media marketing propaganda. So I seeno magic in yer 8 ball.

I believe it is very reasonable.
If you're not totally Covid or otherwise bored shitless here’s a thread to read:
https://forums.azbilliards.com/showt...19#post6564419
For those not so bored, below is a specific post that is pertinent.
If true, these two guys are, basically, the BCA PR guy and a guy who is interested in race tracks. Now, IMO, if you are the governing body of pool, you do not allow these two guys to “certify” jack diddly-do-da when it comes to anyone's 14.1 run. You say to yourself, “Self, this is about Willie Mosconi’s 14.1 run. Maybe we should get a couple of our 14.1 HOF guys, like Nick Varner and Mike Sigel, how about Ray Martin and Dallas West, to watch this puppy and make sure it's kosher.
But that’s just my opinion. Regardless, it’s why some of this is in reasonable dispute.

At the BCA: the PR guy and a race track guy.
And in recent years the BCA has been more about selling hot tubs than anything pool. I have not heard about Predator paying out anything. Do you have knowledge to share?
