you realise this is just all briggs' word of course he is going to try to make himself seem endearing to the population, briggs was offered a tune up fight, and he refused it, that is a fact.
Green gave him 6 weeks to prepare for a so called WT fight after Briggs had retired and not been active for 3 years, Thats a FACT mate. Green flip flopped the very next day claiming he hit Briggs with a legit blow, That is FACT. Greens manager actively engaged Briggs for this fight knowing he had been retired, FACT. I could keep going but im sure you get the point, Green isnt squeaky clean in this one, he is just as bad if not worse than Briggs.
200k is a lot of money. Manikolos apparently gave him a 20k advance to help with rent etc. Broke men do desperate things better rip off a guy that wouldn't fight you in his prime and only came calling when you were 3 years retired than sell drugs rob, a bank. Paul made his bed now he has to lie in it. He chose money over reputation.
And he's flying now. His gym on the Gold Coast is going great. You are right, when faced with financial situations you do what you know best to make money for yourself and your kids, even if it means putting yourself in harm's way. Francis, you wouldn't have to worry about that because centrelink looks after your payments.
That's good didn't know what would become of him especially after his gaffe on the Geale-Karmazin U/C when Taylor fought Talipeau and he said '' those coconut's have hard heads '' cost him his commentating gig.:good errrr.....crime doesn't pay kids.:nono
Nothing mate, just slinging a bit a **** as he always does against others. No probs with you mate, if you have a point you put it out there for the sake of boxing talk, not to potshot people from the cheap seats.
Fair enough. Francis is just Francis, i think the guys funny. He dislikes some boxers and promoters as i do so we share something in common. I dont think he is as bad as some people assume but each to their own i guess.
i have to agree, your a "world champ" why fight briggs, i remember someone interviewing fenech the day after, his words were, Danny you wanted an easy fighjt, thats why you chose hime, now take your money & move on"
The Grinning Greeny- Diving Briggsy fight was a farce, a joke to boxing. The main organisers and participants behind this fight are canines. Cheers.
