Green live interview this morning.....

Checked at 10.30am friday and it appears you can still buy tickets on-line through Ticketmaster.

Would have thought if it was off or in-doubt they'd have stopped selling tickets straight away?


...maybe they'll slot in someone else for Briggs and continue with the card regardless?

 

Sounds like it's off:

....why the hell are they STILL SELLING TICKETS!!

 

Is there anyway of streaming this interview?

 

Is it a case of Briggs not being able to get a license because Green is deemed a dangerous opponent?

Could Briggs get licensed to fight if he was having a tune up?

 

u would think so.

 

You mean like fight someone ranked #85 in the world, IBM?

 

The fight is now at challenge stadium same date

 

yeah :yep

 

...and the AGE's quicktake on the change of venue:


Danny Green's defence of his IBO cruiserweight title was thrown into chaos after NSW combat sports officials refused to allow his opponent to fight in Sydney.

But the ban is good news for Perth boxing fans, with the Green camp confirming the bout will now take place at Challenge Stadium on July 21.
Green, 37, won the vacant IBO cruiserweight world title in August last year in Mississippi.
He successfully defended the crown against Roy Jones Jnr in dramatic fashion in Sydney in December, and then again in April against Puerto Rican Manny Siaca in Perth.

So dangerouse he has to fight a guy whos been retird for 3 yrs and now cant get a boxing licence because of health concerns! keep em coming brua i need a few laughts today! :good still trying to polish that turd are we ? hahaha

You can bet that the lack of CAT and or MRI scans has all partys involved concerned for the saftey of Paul which is first and formost, no point having all this money if the poor bloke cant string a sentance together after the fight! The Public knew it was a farce and i must say i am very impressed with the governing bodys for not allowing this to happen in NSW.

The possible Damage that would have been done to not only Paul but Australian boxing & the IBO if this fight did go ahead would be irreversible for all involved. I think its funny how its all backfired in their faces, the only bloke i feel sorry for in this is Paul Briggs but it goes to show what Danny Green will do to get attention from the public, from false retirement promises to fighting blokes who shouldnt even be in the ring anymore!

 

Come on now.

Its bull**** to keep going on about Mundine when Green is fighting a guy that is 3 years retired and was not much chop for his last year boxing (and without the guy having a tune up or good sparing).

This is a ****ing joke.

Every bit the joke that the Mundine **** was.

 

People talk about Briggs not fighting for 3yrs, well it's actually closer to 3 and a half year.

 

and how well was he going then??? not very, thats why he retired

its been a loooong time since he has been the Briggs that we are remembering
