    Large numbers of fans showed exactly what they thought of the match-up when they rang betting agencies on the afternoon of the fight backing a 1st round KO - and duly collected shortly after on their 'bold' punt.

    There were some fairly non-conclusive findings regarding the Green v Briggs farce published in the Herald Sun this morning.

    Seems a certain group had a huge interest in a 1st round KO result though!

    Thanks m8, i only buy the sydney paper on a sunday as Albury doesnt have a sunday paper but ill go down and grab a copy today just to have a read lol

    Just want to point out a few things ..

    This is a blantant LIE!

    2 weeks out of the fight and he has been sparring Trent Broadhurst and Mitreski Jnr? Who are the other 11 sparring partners?

    So advice of said adviser was ignored? This article takes the cake and puts it all together like a broken puzzle.

    The Sun article is very small - probably 4 or 5 sentances only - burried deep in the Sport section - and says very little.

    Thanks m8, just got it then, it was only $1.10 so i wont send you the bill this time :p lol

    The entire saga is funny when you look at it from Briggs handlers comments and how they have flip flopped all over the place. 1st we are lead to belive Briggs is in fine condition, then when the farce is over we are told by the same people that they had no choice or Briggs would have went elsewhere and that he really was not in any condition to be fighting? lol

    So Paul was inno condition was so ever to box, did Green agree to the fight to help Briggs out financially then Briggs took an early dive?

    The ridiculous thing is that in all likelyhood it'll be found to be nobody's fault.

    Meaning of course that it could easily happen again.

    Risking someone else's health, someone else's reputation, and again dramatically increasing the bank balance of many others.

    ...at least the biggest losers this time around appear to have been the betting agencies!

    The Sun Hearld has picked the story up from Sky, i found a longer article on it but its pretty much a copy and paste of the small section in the Sun today.

    http://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/a/...als-sword-boys-punted-200-000-on-green-fight/

    Its also got a video on it, has a short bit from Phil Austin on it which is quite funny lol

    If Briggs doesn't get his money where does it go, if the fans didn't get reimbursed? Does Danny pocket the lot?
