It was £10,000 he just through away lol

LC. For it was £10,000 for the highest break, the maximum didn't add anything to it

LC. For He still got 10k because it was for highest break, there was nothing for 147 though so he refused it.

Jatin Kaushal he got 10 000 instead of 12 000

he was like fuck the fans

Fairplay 👏🏾👏🏾

🤣🤣

Sometimes you just have to make a stand

oh, I do that all the time!

Yeah yeah

The cheekiest!

You can't even see the smirk fuking idiot

Are you blind?

@@VirgoFx. I saw it so the only fucking idiot round here is you

Actually the smirk wasn't priceless; it was worth 10 grand 😉

Obviously at the time the 147 is the only thing everyone's thinking about. Of course in hindsight it's different

147 likes 😂

Jake Jarvis the commentators are pathetic, scum in my mind.

Exactly that mate, imagine saying you got to see his 147? Even better saying you seen his 146 in my opinion.

Lol true

PMSL

😂😂

My best break is so low, I can’t even remember the number. Probably no more then 2 reds 2 colours. 😂

This really inspired me, instead of duing my usualy 1-breaks I will now start to intentionally miss the red if the prize money is too low.

Namrit Mehta And the dumb commentators didn't say anything about it.

because in his life time he had produced so many breaks and that position had also been replayed so many times it became casual

Yep that's the shot that stood out for me. Insane

Namrit Mehta agreed. But what about the red to middle pocket when he first asked about the price...similar shot but a lot more on the table to avoid....quality

That was a phenomenal shot for sure. I couldn't position the white there even if that was all I had to do haha

Are you gay?

what a very odd question ... are you propositioning him??

Smug caucasoid deffo very weird.... loving a sport and you take from that he is gay? Where you fucked as a child? Me thinks so

Then you are not a snooker fan. I hope Ronnie retires soon so that we lose wannabe-fans like you very quickly.

TheArrow1987 oh get over yourself! No other player is more entertaining to watch! Most other players are like dull robots

More off a grimace

.

He knew what he was doing from then

Oh, wow. Yeah. You see him thinking "last time they made me sink the last black this time ill take pink early and get a 146 on a clear."

The the next shot was a beauty

He’s a fucking mad lad for sure. God bless him

@@arbitrage2141 well- said m8

@Bach Wagner disgrace to snooker lol. He's the reason the sport has turned in to what it is. If he hadn't been a maverick people wouldn't have flocked to snooker

@Bach Wagner ronnie took it to another level. Judd trump grew up idolising ronnie that says it all

@Bach Wagner also kyren described ronnie as his hero.

You probably couldn't find the tables he plays on either they're too expensive and he has 30 years experience , genius my arse .

@@breadandcircuses9967 as if you can do that, cry a river salty ass bread

@@breadandcircuses9967 the whole of snooker disagrees with you, but hey, you know best

Absolutely top

Yes because 10000 pounds was not enough for the child..many people worked full time on low income for that in a year...he could have given it to charity..or be pathetic and do what he did..

@@keithyoung743, He showed everyone that he's not a puppet. He did what he wanted to do. Sorry for you that we're not yet in a Socialist/Marxist shithole.

@@keithyoung743 There was no award for 147, only for highest break. And 146 normally qualifies for the latter.

It's competence

John Yule you're salty

Should change his nickname from The Rocket, to Zero Fucks Given, blink and you'll miss him!

Except things only got worse for snooker since.

Bobby Osullivan I love the way your likes are stuck on 147.

BTICronox don’t doooo iiiiit

Bobby no one person is bigger than the sport. senna died and f1 survived .. u have much to learn about life kiddo

@@shtstirrer you sound like a class A virgin Ronnie is snooker without him it would already be dead

@@shtstirrerWell said

Genious ronnie 😊

John Yule trouble is that Ronnie IS THE REASON the prize is so small lol it used to be a lot of money and a car,Ronnie got £147 000 that’s over $200 000 for his 5min 20 sec maximum (and that is was the original prize not because of the speed)as Ronnie has made so many the have lowered the prize

atleast you get prize money, there are plently of other sports out there that dont even have funding, let alone prize money ffs

nz rockdj if u are talking to me mate I got my facts off of tv interviews when ronnie was saying how they used to give good money and a car for every 147 but now they don't and he was discussing it with (I think john virgo) and Virgo was saying that they have lowered the prize because of ronnie,cause before him it was a lot rarer occurrence so they paid bigger prizes but because he so prolific at getting 147s it's been lowered,they were also saying that that's wrong no matter how many ronnie makes it's still a fantastic achievement so the prize should reflect that achievement and they thought it was wrong to lower it,and they were joking around with Ron saying your 2 good for your own good mate.so right or wrong that's where I got it from and no i can't remember what event they were interviewing him after or when it was but I THINK it was after his 146 but I'm not 100% on that. Anyway mate if it was me u were talking 2 then as I say it was ronnie and the interviewers i got my "facts" from NOT my personal theory lol

He didn’t win the highest break prize during this tournament, because after his 146 Bingham went on to make a 147. Or at least I think it was Bingham but there was definitely a 147.

Marco fu beat his 146 with a 147 so Ronnie got nothing

Nah, he tried to open the pack a bit twice in the beginning and missed both times, had to play the long red the second time. Probably because he didn’t take it to seriously. He’s just very good at getting out of what might have been a though spot for lesser players

I think its the way he potted that last blue into the corner. Hes a mad lad

@@arbitrage2141 he certainly is

Shot of the tournament that was. Incredible!

Maybe to get a 146

Numbers of likes 146

not all heroes wear capes. thank you sir

How could you reduce this frame of perfection to a single shot? It is not about the pink vs black. It is Ronnie potting balls in the most effortless way any of us have ever seen. I've watched the whole thing twice and I'll be watching it again.

He actually didn’t get correct position on the red before the pink.To take the black on would have been difficult,he knew that instantly.I think he would have gone for the 147 otherwise.

@@midnightmover2329 You are out of your mind sir. Consider all the shots he made and tell me where's the difficulty to play white to left side of black?

WickedSoul Hi Arsehole,no it’s just a suspicion I have,I just think he played a less than perfect last black before the red.I think possibly that he decided there to just play the red then the pink.Lets not fall out over it :)

If the odds are 1:100 it's because they factor in this kind of thing, and rightly so.

Shaikh Mullah-ud-Din fuck you

+VivaValdez obviously, no way would the odds for Ronnie be that low otherwise

lmfao what was that about?

It's Haram anyway

There are many 147s that have occurred and will occur... this is the only time something like this has occurred. Though I might not appreciate at the time, I'd be gladder for having witnessed this.

He never missed once he chose the pink

@@ayjaygarcia9232 he missed the opportunity on the black purposefully lol

I believe he did it as a protest because there was no maximum break prize to make a statement

​@@xitorte2883 the maximum prize break was 10000 pounds more then many low income people earned in 8 months real work...he could have given it to charity..it was pathetic and childish

disagree. It sounds like he only cares about money.

@@TheArrow1987 “only cares about money” the man just deliberately refused 10k euro because it wasn’t enough for a player. He was raising it for everybody in the future due to how statistically improbable they are.

Davi Mourão he was doing something wrong some players may never make a maximum it’s just arrogance and disrespect

@@joshuajackson8926 He doesn't have to lower his standards so as not to offend players that aren't as good

What are you talking about? He was acting like a spoilt brat. Only the top players can score a maximum, and they get paid plenty. He wasn't 'taking a stand'. He ought to grow up and start being more respectful to the referees too.

@@williambunter3311 If this is disrespectful to you then you should grow up.

@@kaksspl And thank you for proving my point! It is you that needs to grow up!. Remember the proverb: ab squallam terentis, Forne sequium faris prolontus veritas. Omni erra peroboscis largotum esse! Meditate on these words, they will make a better man of you!.

The most naturally talented no doubt, but Hendry had the nerve, the concentration, and the best stats. Davis (my fave) also has better stats. Ronnie on his day though... yes.

smuffjules if you base it on stats ronnie aint there but thats only because he did not play as much games as they did and was more of a bobbie then a career if he put his all in his game he would be way better then them in stats. even with out the stats doe the names you mentioned they both rate ronnie as one of the best players to ever pick up a cue

Davies was awful to watch...painful. Hendry i never really watched. But yeah he brought in a new faster attackung style. O'sullivan for nat. Talent.

@@smuffjules Hendry couldn't keep up with a tougher newer generation of players hints why he retired early. Ronnie has been winning World Titles and other Triple Crowns throughout his entire career.

@@smuffjules now Ronnie has taken or equalled all of Hendry's records

Have you played before ? It takes a lot more than a moderately good player to acquire more than one or two competitive maximum breaks.. the facts will tell you that I'm sure.

@@shemingway549 You totally missed the reason why the 146 was such a big deal Stacey.

@@scotty193 I'd arguably disagree, I think that's possible if the mindset of the player is somewhat stubborn like Ronnie is, however... if you do want to see a record that can NOT be beaten, check his fastest televised 147, mark my words, it's something special, I know my shit too lol

@@scotty193 I wouldn't argue that's he's a great player at all, Jimmy is a great pool player no doubt imo! Congratulations on that:) and a happy prosperous new year to you too! Lol I'm not one to blow my own whistle really, I'm quite humble I'd like to think . Enjoy your day :)

BABU highest is 147

U stupid fuck

U fuck stupid old man

You all should really know 147 isn't potentially the highest break. If you use a free ball it could be a break of 155 with a potential score of thousands if not more from numerous fouls from your opponent before you make said break.

Fletchlie free ball without single red yet potted?ever happened?

Yeah and did fans out of what they pay to see!! Arrogant little twat!

@@R3GTLEE they didnt pay to see Ronnie get a 147. They payed to watch two players play snooker. The 147 is a rare thing the fans might get when they go to watch a game but they never go to a game expecting a 147

@@jackbarnes48 Your contradicting yourself they go to see a performance from two players playing snooker every other player in the world would love to get a 147 in front of the fans but not osullivan as he thinks he's bigger than the game.... well he isnt, snooker will survive without this arrogant little shit!

@@R3GTLEE this arrogant little shit is you i think

@@R3GTLEE I'm sure they could all have just imagined him potting the black instead of that pink ... what's the real difference between a 146 and a 147? Not much in terms of actual play.

Unfortunately for him, somebody else made 147 later that tournament.

hes proly worried osullivan will start knockin in 147 after 147 and bankrupting them LOL

@@paulstevens9409 in Essex, he is haha

@@paulstevens9409 Ronnie O'Sullivan is a beautiful illustration of the truism that genius and madness go hand in hand. I like him, he is the greatest snooker player of all time. But his behavior is sometimes already borderline. At the same time, this is also what defines his genius. Like I said, I like him.

Ronnie said in interviews he doesn't care about records

@@Cenot4ph But he set one with this 146.

ask your wife, she knows it

8ball's a kids game .. Snooker's 4 men! Lol

And this deliberate 146 is still getting viewers, so you could argue that his statement backfired.

I've seen Michael van Gerwen refuse a nine-darter.

Judd Trump is happening. If he can play at the level he's at for the next decade, Ronnie's status as the greatest is under serious threat.

@@ongbonga9025 did you forget about Ronnies 5 minute maximum (televised) ?;) Judd ain't competing with that mate .

@@shemingway549 Probably not, but we don't decide who's the greatest by who can do the fastest maximum. It's about titles. I don't think Judd will catch Ronnie, but he might.

@@ongbonga9025 we all have our opinions, however, judds B game has never touched Ronnies! For that reason I wouldn't see him as a contender to be par/above Ronnie, no way!

@@shemingway549 Not consistently, but when he's at the top of his game he's the equal of Ronnie. The difference is Ronnie has been at that level for a long time, Judd hasn't. But Judd still has time.

That's way more than I've ever scored hints why I'm a fan not a player. 😂

No, you complaining about this act on a free entertainment medium from your climate controlled dwelling on your high speed internet is the most first world problem I have seen.
