What has been said?
Hearn, who has vowed to practise daily in the build-up, will be involved in at least two games and his goal is to win one of them.
Speaking to SunSport, Hearn said: “The US Open was a dream achieved. But there was nothing planned afterwards until now.
“If I thought I was keen before that, I’m four times keener now. I have had the taste.
“I won one rack, which cost Eddie a fortune. He had to take me out for this lavish meal.
“The bet was ‘you won’t win a rack’. And he had to pay for the most expensive lunch you can ever arrange, which we did.
“We went to a Smith & Wollensky restaurant. A private room. It will be on the Netflix documentary.
“Nineball has become an addiction with me. I thought the US Open was supposed to be a one-off and a bucket list item ticked off.
“It has caused chaos in my household but I have cleared out a room and my own table will arrive in the next few weeks. I will play every day.
“I have a clearer understanding of how difficult the game is, how enjoyable it is and I have the desire to be better.
“Now, I want to win a game. I’m the oldest person in the tournament.”
