“I’m going to discuss changing formats for next year’s World Snooker Championship,” Hearn said on Saturday as he explained his plans for the press conference.

...

Hearn has again ruled out the prospect of the World Championship moving to China, providing the BBC and Sheffield City Council continue to back the event.

“There’s no question the people of China would pay a king’s ransom to get the World Championship in China,” Hearn said on World Snooker’s YouTube channel.

“But for once I’m not looking at the balance sheet – I’m looking at the history. So I’m staying, but it is down to those people’s support and I’m quite sure over the next few months we will announce a new long-term deal with Sheffield to make sure this great tournament carries on here.”
