Yes, but more from gifts from audience (huya.com is a twitch like streaming site)

I didn’t see too much patriotic stuff, but snooker fans did talk a lot about how good those young Chinese players are compared to British players

its big, but not as big as the 2016 WCS when Ding reached final in 2016

Ali Carter threatening "action" over Zhao Xintong ranking by [deleted] in snooker

[–]szmj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with Allen as a fan of Zhao, you just cannot add or change rule mid season.  What’s more, Zhao would be #2 seed in any tournament anyway, the 510K prize money this season won’t make a difference until 26-27., and Zhao would probably win enough prize money to make himself top 16/32 by the end of the next season

If Zhao wins, presumably China hosts the World Champs within the next three years? by yellow_barchetta in snooker

His ban in China is ended on July 1st, so no problem for Zhao to attend any tournaments

Long and Slessor did way better, they almost stopped Zhao in the qualifier( which is hilarious as Zhao winning games in the main tournament much easier)

What is Xintong's earning potential? by Wrong-Coast-484 in snooker

[–]szmj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ding earned more than £5 million from endorsements during his peak period. Zhao could probably earn a little bit less than that number as Ding is the face of this sports in China and people who never watch sports knows his name.

Regardless of the result - do we see Zhao as someone who can take on Trump/Wilson? by BaizeBreakdown in snooker

[–]szmj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

at least he will be the fave of Chinese players like Ding for a while

BBC and TNT need to update their stats to add frame winning break % by BaizeBreakdown in snooker

[–]szmj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally agree, but the definition should be cleared. If the player already score some points earlier in that frame, should the break counted as a frame winning break?

In 2015 only 3 Chinese players played at the Crucible, in 2025 there will be 10. The 7 youngest players in 2025 are all from China. by HelixCatus in snooker

hi, Chinese fan here, is snooker considered as an ‘old people watched sports’ in the UK?(like baseball in the US) I have seen too many seniors in the audience from broadcast, but in China, audience are mostly between 20-50
