It’s easy: Briggs’ manager is Greg Cohen. Cohen recently founded Empire Sports and Entertainment, and hired Shelly Finkel to be CEO. Finkel used to manage the Klitschkos (he now “advises” them). This is example 971 of “How Things Work” -- not just in boxing, but in all business. … credit to Bill Dettloff
Brigg has balls and nothing to lose. Other paper champ has a vag and has a precious WBA gaylord title on the line...
all these guys business partners managers promotors etc etc have worked together in the past many times thanks for the no news
Props to Briggs he had the guts to sign and it looks like he is taking the fight seriously he is going to get crushed but I give Shannon credit for backing up his talk. :deal
PHILLA is dead on. Cohen is making moves. He said his goal was to get Briggs & Rahman title shots. Getting Shelly Finkel on board did it for Briggs. Rahman is now ranked 14 by WBA. We'll see what The Empire can do for him. I'll be interviewing Cohen in a few weeks.
Briggs has been calling out the Klits since before he wont he WBO strap. This fight has been long in the making and Briggs is the last American Born Heavy Weight champ and will be the next!
