| Welcome Sports fans from around the world to what is surely going to be the greatest match-up in sporting history.. | |
| | |
|
|
| | |
| That’s right Carl, tonight we have two legends of the field squaring off against each other for the first time in their competitive careers, its certainly has all the makings of a potential classic | |
| | |
|
|
|
|
|
| | |
| Thanks Joe, that's right viewers tonights showdown between Helmut J McMiggins and Darwin "The Dil" Johnson will be the first time they've met each other in the ring, Why is this Joe? | |
| | |
|
|
| | |
| Well Carl as reigning World RPS Champion; Helmut McMiggins has been tied to whomever the RPS governing body decide should have a crack at the title, and young Dil has certainly earned his shot.. | |
| | |
|
|
|
|
|
| | |
| Thats right, his record speaks for itself, 22 wins, 0 defeats since turning pro. He's certainly silenced a lot of his critics who didnt feel he would make it at top level in the sport | |
| | |
|
|
| | |
| Yes its an amazing run, earning him the number one contenders spot. He's beaten some of the games seasoned veterans like Sparky Dougal and ex-WRPS champion Vic Spunge on his way up to this match.. | |
| | |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| | |
| ..Yes The Dil versus Vic Spunge was an excellent match and a great advertisement for the sport, and is why this RPS match has been picked up on Pay-per-View by 2 billion people in over 100 countries. | |
| | |
|
|
| | |
| ..And it was shortly after the match that Vic announced his retirement from the sport. We sent our correspondent Jack Frood for an exclusive first interview since his retirement to find out why.. | |
| | |
|
|
|
|
|
| | |
| So Mr Spunge, after your match with The Dil, you told the world you were retiring, can I ask why you decided this was the time to leave? | |
| | |
|
|
| | |
| Well this is a very competitive sport, and you not only need to be at peak physical condition, but your mental game has to be perfect. I felt my game had slipped since I lost the RPS crown to Helmut | |
| | |
|
|
|
|
|
| | |
| Well thats true, after that epic battle with Helmut for the World Title, Vic didnt seem to be as motivated towards his fights. Rumour has it he cut his training schedule to just 4 weeks before matches | |
| | |
|
|
| | |
| Yes Carl and at top flight that simply isn't enough to maintain form. As we all know Professional RPS players can take up to 6 months of intensive training to get fully prepared for matches | |
| | |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| | |
| We'll shortly be bringing you live coverage of the bout, but first we have an important safety announcement. | |
| | |
|
|
| | |
| That’s right Carl, we'd like to remind our viewers that these are trained professionals in RPS and that viewers should not attempt to mimic what they see at home. | |
| | |
|
|
|
|
|
| | |
| Yes Joe, but what advice would you give to people who are interested in the sport and want to give it a go? | |
| | |
|
|
| | |
| Well Carl there are many authorised RPS clubs across the country where you can go to learn the sport under the supervision of experienced instructors. | |
| | |
|
|
|
|
|
| | |
| Yes, and I would like to say to those viewers who are keen to take the sport up that they ensure their club has been ratified by the RPS governing council. | |
| | |
|
|
| | |
| Absolutely Carl, safety is a key factor here and the RPS governing council help to ensure this by only authorising those clubs that can meet their rigorous standards | |
| | |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| | |
| 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 | |
