Some words from Marc Convey, who conducted this interview:

"Whether you like or loath Negreanu, agree or disagree with what he says; you can't disagree that the man has passion. He comes across as caring a lot for the game that he has been an integral part of growing and does not want to see this trend reversing too much.

He is in fact a one-man PR dream for his sponsors, most of the time. It might be from this seemingly untouchable position that he can speak out on several issues without suffering too much from the feedback. Too much might be said in the heat of the moment or via the wrong channels, but isn't it better that these sort of issues are out in the open? Most of the recent poker world's problems have stemmed from unethical practices taking place by a minority and behind closed doors.

It looks like we won't be seeing as much of him on the live circuit for a while as he addresses his quality of life/travel balance but don't expect radio silence throughout this period."
