during the 2010s, o'sullivan became a vocal critic of world snooker chairman barry hearn. in interviews and on social media, he voiced his unhappiness with many of hearn's decisions affecting how the professional tour is run. he took issue with increased travel expectations, flat 128 draws that required top professionals to play more rounds against lower-ranked opponents, reduced prize money for 147 breaks, and what he saw as inadequate tournament venues. he accused snooker's governing body of bullying and intimidating him, stated that hearn was running a "dictatorship," and threatened in 2018 to form a breakaway snooker tour akin to the split in darts. hearn responded by criticizing some of o'sullivan's remarks as immature and characterizing his breakaway threat as damaging to the sport.
