    "How was this man allowed to fight? Briggs was warned - even banned by NSW - but he was determined to get the payday."

    being deparate for money is still no excuse - the checks and balances failed (not in NSW) - the whole sport suffers so one guy can get a payday? Still a fan of his earlier work though, just very disappointed.

    why?he turned up.did the best he could not very well as it turns out.got called a dog,got pelted with bottles by bogans.Greeny himself even came out the next day saying it was a legit punch waving a DVD around and saying the punch hit him on the soft part of the skull.thats boxing you get 12 round wars or 1st round KO's sometimes.

    The entire thing stinks like ****, as does Australian boxing for allowing it to happen.

    It also seems there's no motivation for a 'real' inquiry as just about everyone involved is either running, already hiding, or trying to blame someone else.

    His 'name' was one of the things he sold out for the $200,000 Shane.
