Meanwhile, Doyle - sans John Higgins - continues to manage most of the top 16. Even O'Sullivan had two bites of the cherry and came back.<BR/><BR/>What a want to know is - was there a rivalry between Hearn and Doyle (did they get on?) Because these two were the big two of the game. <BR/><BR/>I can understand why Hearn wants nothing to do with the organisation now. Every premier league snooker/darts event i see on Sky looks packed and probably sold-out. Also, I knew it was only a matter of time he moved the Darts World Championship to somewhere bigger. La Tavern is smaller and Hearn being the businessman is always looking at the bigger picture....Maybe the WPBSA could get Alan Sugar in to spice things up?<BR/><BR/>Thanks, JoeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
