- "I like the fact that he's in charge of his life, and he does what he wants.

Barry Hearn was full of praise for Ronnie O'Sullivan on the latest episode of The Breakdown, Eurosport's podcast hosted by Orla Chennaoui and Greg Rutherford.

"Ronnie is selfish"
TRANSLATION: Ronnie won't let me control him for my own benefit 🤣
🙏
True, but while he absolutely puts himself first, all boats rise with the tide, he pulls up those around him too.
Has the others here have said, "love him or hate him, he raised snooker, darts and 9 ball pool from the dead"... A world without snooker, without all these competitions nowadays, would be a poorer world.
My brain hates him, my heart loves him. Ah well...
You know, there are famous philosophers, psychiatrists, and psychologists who educate us on how to live a better life, some miraculous, some not. But in tis interview, Barry Hearn is offering us gems of wisdom that we should take heed off. Education is all fine and dandy, but some of the greatest people have never stepped foot inside a lecture but can make a huge success. As a young promising Snooker player myself decades ago, and with all the ability in the world, I was in that circle. Thing is, that word 'Pressure' got to me many times over, but as older man I truly understand what Barry means by 'Pressure' being the wrong word. He made Steve Davis, and Steve Davis made him, through skill, work-ethic, psychology, belief, and friendship. It's so great to see and hear a side toBarry Hearn that I had never though possible before. He hasn't, even though he made it, forgot his working-class roots-and the fact that he even tried his hand at a Bertolt Brecht play made me smile widely. Great and insightful interview. What a real charming/intelligent man. Yes, Barry, I did beat Steve Davis at Bury Leisure Centre back in '93, although I think Steve wasn't really trying. I was... thanks for the memories, Barry. x
I could listen to Barry Hearn all day long. The man is charisma personified.
Charisma yes. HEART, a definite no
He's insufferably smug. Evidence:
4:45
"I'm exceptional at that." (Making money).
@@bobsmithy9024 is see where eddie learnt the charming bullshit
if you meant capitalism, you misspelled it just a tiny bit ;)
Did anyone else clock Barry's perfectionism at 9:29? He spotted that splash of water from the glass on his trousers and immediately covered it up - a real pro.
Lol.. was it water though.. 😆
GREAT TO LISTEN TO Barry
Your lucky to have him he's been your cash cow for decades.... He's the greatest 21 majors 39 ranking titles the most centuries and 147s keeping snooker relevant and sponsors happy all on his own terms never been a slave to the game or establishment.... His longevity is legendary and will be his lecacy his aura and presence is unique nobody like him everything he does makes headlines for the sport and world number 1 at 46
Hes not done bad out of Matchroom either!
He didn't even say anything bad about Ronnie ffs he literally said "he's the greatest snooker player ever by a country mile"..... how have you come to spouting shite lmao
@@dylanwyatt-brown3624 facts facts facts
@@jamesgoing4527 Irrelevant facts when he’s not criticising
Ronnie is not in Barry’s hip pocket that’s what’s wrong with him!
Ye but so what Ronnie genius so what he may controversial so what big deal .Are ye hating Ronnie for that
@@nultyjack8219 You can’t be that thick lol
@@nultyjack8219 are you slow in the head pal?
@@nultyjack8219 🤤🤤🤤
@@nultyjack8219 Jack Nulty hey more like Jack NUMPTY
Ha! Ronnie and he don't always agree on everything? That's the flippin' understatement of the decade!
Ronnie knows the Bobby more, he had a no nonsense dad and was schooled well
When he does retire you know that snooker is going to be in the shit
He knows Ronnie is the boss of snooker and that’s that!
Love him or hate him, He raised snooker, darts and 9 ball pool from the dead. They'd all diminished in popularity by the mid 2000s and the money wasn't there. But Hearns' wheeling and dealing did the job.
You're assuming it wouldn't happen without him. For all we know, he held it back, because of his attitude.
The 1 mile sprint walk conversation is hilarious.
Barry's grown on me after this interview.
Seem's a sound guy
I never bother watching a snooker tournament if Ronnie isn't involved - simple. The Rocket is snooker 🎱
Ronnie is to Barry what Fury is to Eddie. Out of their league and they can’t control them or handle them.
Barry class act and Eddie too 👏
Easy to see why Eddie is his son 💯👏
I love that quote.. " Pressure is just another excuse for losers"....lmao!!!
Eddie and Barry are successful because they know their audience, without being rude about anyone.
Did BH manage to squeeze his head through the door when he left the interview?
Ronnie's still a legend, he's the only fellah who speaks his mind. There should be a champions league on Wednesday during the season. Footballs boring.
I have given up on football,won't be watching the farce in Quatar, like darts ,snooker,boxing,tennis..
It cute!!! Barry is like father he know his son nature (Ronnie)
Alan Partridge said,with alittle bit,with a little bit of blooming luck.
I wouldn't call myself selfish.. But I used to turn up to angling matches half-cut from the night before, probably after smoking a couple of joinjts on the way, slurring my words and never giving a cr4p which peg was the flyer...... Then totally annihialate everyone else that turns up. When you're good at something to the point that you win even in that state.... It becomes boring!!!
Ronnie is in a league of his own, the epitome of a champion... Even when he's playing well and dominating tournements, I can relate when he looks like he couldn't give a toss!!
He is a great businessman and promoter ....Always wish he had looked after A higgins tho ...he could have changed that guys life. May he have many more days fishin
Alex Higgins could tell a story about this guy
Why on earth does it take two people to interview a bloke nowadays?
Ronnie O'Sullivan comments @ 27:20
I like Barry's honesty, he deserves his success
Is it really honesty? Idk, but I always get the sense of a confidence trickster when listeing to him. He knows how to say stuff people want to hear, and he said it himself, his acting was great preparation for all of that. I don't think we're seing the real Barry here.
I sometimes feel people like him have someone looking over there shoulder
It's also Ronnie's advanced civilization talent that makes him a winner
"advanced civilization talent" 😂😂😂
Looking at Ronnie's eyebrow I'd say he's more the opposite 🦧
Selfishness = Ronnie just wont do as I say!
When are we going to see all star golfing secrets ?
Barry hearn is the opposite of ronnie o'sullivan,he is always positive and not so negative and depressing as ronny osullivan, i always liked his interviews
And quit hating Ronnie on table he is positive and attacking people are not same Ronnie is open about his issue check it Eurosport interview with Ronnie like Barry and Ronnie but ignorant statement Ronnie can be funny and happy but negative so what what he is incredible talent too though
Bet you think he crap player too so ffs
@@nultyjack8219 he is a fantastic player,the greatest ever and a Joy to watch, but i dont like his negativ attitude thats all
I think snooker players have missed a trick: If he snooker players start to using the language of boxers before a match, like prize fighters, a few fireworks in sparing talk would up the viewing figures. LOL
"My dad was a bus driver, I didn't have nuffink to beat!"
That was enough for me. Switched off.
Fascinating
Are you a bus driver ?
Ronnie is talented and he's always done his own thing, that's what makes him great lol. Hearn selfish lol
Ronnie O'Sullivan loves snooker. Barry Hearn loves money.
BH is so charismatic and funny, its amazing he hasn't done more mainstream tv chat shows. Inspiring to listen too..he's an incredible salesman, could sell sand to the Arabs! Just finished reading a book 'Pocket Money'. He bought snooker into our living rooms. Why he hasn't been recognised in the New Years honours list for contribution to sport is ridiculous!
Barry must hold the record for a peaceful night's rest.
What you talking about gorgeous
As anyone asked Barry about Epstein and the lolita express, that would be funny
2min in and its all a bit much.
BH is an interesting fella but, the desperate to please presenters and the Baz larger than life character is too intense, I’m swerving..
He will devastated
Barry saying that!! He is worse and made the rules for whoever worked for him…and getting rich over the backs of everybody..
He’s the reason the players have got what they have got
@@matthewwilliams4168 Also true, though who did not fit in his harness sadly died poor..
@@FransBlaas1 like who?
This changed my mind on Barry: after he mentioned our father in heaven and the blessings he received I can see why he was placed where he was.
thank you
Allah bless
What a guy thinks he can buy everyone
Yeah, greed is good.
maybe?
Not rich from Barry
No personality a, fabulous player best ever seen, however I can’t stand the sight of him.
I like all of the other players who are getting better all the time.
He has the biggest personality in the game
Yh let's just have a bunch of robots...... yay
Don’t like doesn’t mean doesn’t have personality saying nothing doesn’t mean u have personality u clown maybe negative irony of statement he has personality he has charisma why are his Amy he’s usually packed he also says stuff different Ronnie does he has personality maybe at times negative but he has personality what a hater u are
You seem have no understanding of personality and how differs maybe u don’t like Ronnie is different and are pc
@@nultyjack8219 no I don’t like Ronnie and you are right u are nuts 🌰, I agree with you!!!!!!
Epstein.
Also no questions about Barry’s name on Jeffrey Epsteins list
