"The Future Is DARTS!" - Eddie Hear Explains Why Professional Darts Will Be BIGGER Than Boxing

Precisely dude... Love it

[@boroblueyes]

@@petersymaeys6067 This past year has seen an increase in the level of great players, a lot of young great players to go along with some of the best ever. Gian Van Veen is playing excellent now as well. Luke Humphries is still fairly young and of course Luke Littler. I'm thinking that any of the top 40-50 in the game could win a tournament each week. Seeing two top players battling each week, averaging over 100, hitting 50% of doubles and finishes of 170 with 9 darters. I wish I could throw like that.

Its electric. The U.K. crowd goes berserk, it’s incredible. Its like a big party and the audience chants and sings to ever song. I’ve never seen anything like it. The way the announcer says ONE HUNNNDREDDD AND EIIIGHTYYY is the best. I already have certain dart players I like to watch but Luke “The Nuke” Littler has been my instant favorite from first watch.

[@YouAreOneOfUs]

Don't see it catching on. I have only been wrong once on a Game Industry prediction. It's funny. I was asked if the "Barbie Water Race game" was a good investment. I said No. It was to loud and too much maintenance. The game only lasted 5 seconds paid out minimal prize tickets and took no skill. Turns out kids 8 and under LOVED IT. They just pumped the money into it and parents would give them more to shut them up, lol. I went to industry trade shows and would predict 100% which games were worth the investment. In fact I predicted 3 month, 6 month and 1 year earning and the game resell value for the same periods. I was always right. I would evaluate every single piece at the show even the oddities. CAPCOM Loved me.

@@YouAreOneOfUs Your comedy routine is not going to be successful. You're a legend in your own mind I'm guessing. Darts is spreading like wildfire. Americans are beginning to qualify for World wide tournaments. As soon as an American places in the top or wins a PDC tournament, it will explode. That could be as soon as next year. Dart leagues are most often played in the U. S., in bars where you can eat drink and have fun. It's definitely on the rise. 17,000,000 dart players in the U. S. say you're wrong. That's 5 times the number of hockey players.

I am a HUGE PDC darts fan and feel it should be noted that most all players with a tour card who are not top 16 ranked are working full or part time jobs as an income. So, the goal obviously is that all tour card holders are paid and taken care of not needing to work outside of being a professional darts player. Hopefully that changes soon!

[@joebartlett3958]

Started playing darts 40 years ago when I was living overseas among a lot of Brits. Love playing the game and love watching it. This week is the World Grand Slam tournament.

[@colincolenso]

Cheap to produce, can charge audience to attend, and drink, gets big ratings. The reason pool can't do this is because the games played rarely encourage impressive (to view) shot making. With a changed rule set for pool, it could become far more spectacular. Matchroom also dominates pool, but 9-ball is mostly a breaking competition, as is 8-ball and 10-ball formats, hence the only highlights are jump shots which are mostly 50-50 jags. They avoid hard pots for safety 95% of the time. Darts forces players to GO FOR IT in 90% of set endings.

[@ryandavies2634]

There’s a reason Efren Reyes is a lot of peoples GOAT in pool, because he would go for it. There are more players out there now that are better than Reyes, but they stick to the script and focus on getting a win - that’s the only downside of Matchroom’s Tour - needs to be more exhibitions from Matchroom to grab people’s interests.

[@eddiel7635]

incidentally matchroom run the pool events as well.

[@colincolenso]

@@ryandavies2634 The 15 ball rotation game Efren grew up on, much like the 2 shot push out early 9-ball version Keith Mc Creedy played presented big shot options far more than the modern game.

Boxing is very often underwhelming. The best guys fight once or twice a year. So many negotiations, so many years of building up a record and reputation and protecting the record etc. you could have 6 months of “hype” for a fight and it could be a snooze fest. In darts like in other sports, the best play the best every week. Same top players playing every week. Darts is never boring as well. Once you appreciate how hard it is and how good these guys are, there’s nothing better, set play or leg play, anything can happen and it’s always exciting. Big momentum swings and pure action. Especially now with littler, the world championship last year was electric. The world champs are just set up and structured so well, so many matched each night and every night for weeks. Straight knockout set play. You feel like you’re a part of the action following from the start, littler was happy to win his first match at 16 years old, so for him to make it to the final dominating everybody was like nothing ever before. The whole country was behind him for the final. I don’t think anything can compare. No BS drama or transfers or hype. All these other sports rely on all that stuff to keep people intrigued, all these sports news channels and rumours and media work. Darts doesn’t need any of that, it’s just pure electric competition.

I've been playing darts since I was 4 years old (ok, so I didn't have the best throw and didn't hit the board most of the time, but I tried), my dad made darts boxes for my brother, sister, and I. I played in the late 80's/early 90's in leagues, and been playing the last 5 years... I love the game, practicing, joining a league in February, just won a local tournament (in Chico, CA). All that said, I disagree with Mr. Hear... darts has been in the US a long time, and while it had a good time in the 80's and 90's, it has dropped off quite a bit afaict. I was told a few months ago while at the Riverboat Classic in Stockton, CA that the Camille Classic in Sacramento, CA, which had the 48th annual tournament in February, won't be on for 2025. Didn't make me happy, but the fact is darts, like soccer, would only go so far in the US. Don't get me wrong, a lot of people like to play, and in other states darts has more players and bigger/better tournaments, but when you're talking about spectators... it ain't gonna happen, especially not like GB, EU, AUS, Japan, and other places where its big. I've watched plenty of darts videos the past 6 months to a year, and one of the problems is we don't have an MVG, Gerwyn Price, Michael Smith, Luke Littler, Simon Whitlock, or even Beau Grieves, Fallon Sherrock (the Queen of the Palace), or Gemma Hayter... I think the only Americans I've seen overseas are Leonard Gates and Alex Spellman, two outstanding players. I'm pretty sure Belgium or The Netherlands could put together a national team better than we could, nevermind GB, GER, or the Scandinavian countries. More power to Mr. Hear if he can pull it off in the US, but I wouldn't bet on it. :l
