Barry Hearn
Barry Hearn(born 1949, Dagenham, Essex) is an English sports entrepreneur, the founder and chairman of promotions company Matchroom Sport. A qualified accountant who made his first fortune by buying and selling a chain of snooker halls, he began his promotional career in 1974 working with little remembered players Geoff Foulds (Neal's father) and Vic Harris before becoming manager of six times world champion Steve Davis from 1976, and prospered from the snooker boom of the 1980s when he formed Matchroom with players Davis and Tony Meo.
