| Yes, we are just moments away from this epic bout between Helmut J McMiggans and Darwin "The Dil" Johnson, what are they fighting for tonight then Joe? | |
 | |  |
|
 |
| | |
| Well Carl, along with the prestigious World RPS title there is an estimated prize pool of $45 million, with $30 million going to the winner tonight and $15 million to the loser. | |

| Some critics of the game argue that the sport has become too commercialised, with players getting excessive amounts of money in prizes and sponsorship deals what are your thoughts? | |
| | |
|
|
| | |
| Well Carl with increasing TV revenues it is true players agents demanded a larger cut of the money brought in by these events, but a lot more is pumped back into the grass roots of the sport. | |

| Yes Joe the RPS governing council have invested in improving the facilities at amateur clubs around the world indeed Darwin Johnson's rise through the sport can be attributed to this.. | |
| | |
|
|
| | |
| That’s right Carl, as an amateur player Darwin was one of the first to receive an RPS scholarship to assist him with his training, and the result is that he is now challenging for the World RPS crow | |
