He also signed the deal within 5 days of telling Tarver to make a decision. which means he is guilty of the exact same thing he is accusing Tarver of doing, that being shopping around. I found that an odd excuse since all Danny has to do is exercise the rematch clause in the contract, its like he has a hissy fit because Tarver is looking for other fights, so what? pay the man what he wants and fight him. Tarver had open offers from people to fight, if anything it was Danny dragging his heals on making a deal, so they hatched this USA fight bullsht excuse, confirmed by Gary Shaw, whom id belive in a second before anything that come out of Dannybooshays trap or his manager/trainer. July 31st - 11 days after pumping Danny, note Danny was still being silent, had not said sht to the media or anyone on facebook. Tarver is within his own right to go looking for fights given he just gave Danny a pumping and it was a one sided fight. He has no obligation to Danny until Danny excericses the rematch clause and Danny Booshay & His pack of tards that run his team know this all to well.

FACT! :yep
Garbage. Sure, some fighters fight just for the money, but plenty don't. Pub level brawlers are lucky to make a couple hundred dollars per fight to get the **** beat out of them. If you think they're doing it for the money, then you need to look in the mirror to see who's ****ing naive. And don't be such a Condescending *****. :nono
thats why the state of Australian boxing is so ****, we're all too well off, noboody wants to box profesionally except the few mad idiots, the blokes who had decent amateur careers & were proven to be considered a chance of making a quid went on with it If Danny Green or Daniel Geale were only average Amatuers & the people in the know got in their ears & told them enough was enough its a good chance they would have given it away years ago. I dont care who Danny Green fights, be it the worlds best or a bloke who tried to top himself, as long as he is making good money, he deserves it, he promotes himself well, he has dickheads like Ty promoting him on here, he's highly visible in the sporting landscape Professional Boxing isnt a noble sport, for as many decent people there are just as many leaches, Green seems pretty smart with who he associates with, theres no fun involved in getting punched so he does it for the money, if the money wasnt there he would **** off & go surfing, the added bonus of course is, if he can get out of the sport with his wits about him & a few dollars stashed away he can continue trading off his name for years to come
I think Wlodarczyk vs Green is a real hard test for Green. Facing a overall lower top 10 guy in Perth for the WBC Belt is well worth seeing. Plus Wlodarczyk aint lost in many years. The news regarding Wlodarczyk tho is he is in massive financial trouble, which is heavily linked to his depression & supposed suicide attempt. So hope everything is ok there. Either way as long as the bout is at the 200 pound Cruiserweight limit i will be looking forward to it.
If the Pole has mental issues thats his bad luck.Boxing is a hard sport,and not for the mentally weak,hope Greeny wins and then retires and goes surfing. And the people that are complaining about this match up,well dont watch it,and have a good look at yourself and see what you have achieved in your life or sporting career,Riverina title pffff.
w8 a minute...... buster is not greens papi u r. agreed they in the business for the dosh mainly. but just cause thats the case dont mean they deserve respect. even u can work that out. do u feel he deserved his payday from the briggs bout? and some ppl actually do love the thrill of being in the ring.... maybe u never punched on.
No need to talk about greens father in any context bud even if its a joke , his fathers a terrific bloke and shouldnt be brought into anything. Green was cleared of any wrongdoing, therefore he was rightfully entitled to his payday, what he was saying is because we are such an economically stable country with low levels of poverty there is no incentive to fight for low amounts of money etc as there is in place such as mexico and other less developed nations.
I think you need to look at why someone gets into boxing in the first place. As you've already alluded to, the vast majority start as an amateur, and some go on to be a pro. But think about all those that stay on as amateurs? You can't say they're doing it for anything other than for love. Plenty of pros do it for love too, particularly the club level pro I mentioned earlier. Personally I think there is way too much money at the top end of boxing (any sport for that matter), because that's what usually makes for dirty tactics. Too much money ****s many things. I do care who our top fighters fight, it shows a lot about their character. In my mind, fighters like Green or Mandy shouldn't be making the sort of coin they do, as that's what makes them have one sus fight after the next. Not that I'm saying this is a sus fight, as it looks ok on the face of it, but he's certainly made it hard to not be suspicious. BTW, thanks for the proper reply.:good
It sure beats the heck out of holding a bucket in the corner while someone else does the fighting that's for sure :good.
If the big money wasnt there the fighters wouldnt be there The blokes who fight for peanuts in clubs & pubs are the blokes who have a few screws loose & have a miss guided sense of romance & honour I think Amateur boxing is fantastic, it gives young blokes discipline, fitness, a sport, there arent as many leaches because there is no money, as soon as it turns pro it gets murky Like i said, i dont care how suss it is, if it goes ahead & Green treats it like a business, he takes into account all his incomings & outgoings & does his sums, puts on a decent night & walks away relatively unscathed with a pocketfull of cabbage, all power to him, if pro boxers can beat the odds & stay away from the seedy pricks & still walk away from the sport financially well off thats the winner
Let the buyer beware The Briggs fiasco has been the only time he hasnt put on a decent show, thats life, the sport of Boxing has put on a hell of a lot of fiascos over the years, i doubt the Briggs one was the worse. You can choose wether this effects your future support of his fights, if you dont want to go to his fights, watch them on pay for view etc etc thats your choice, but if people line up to go to the next one, well they've made a choice too & i doubt Green when ever he puts money up front for a fight cares to much what evcerone thinks, he's trying to train & run a business / promotion, it has to be viable, thats the bottom line
mate dont think i was derogative in any way. maybe he is a friend of ur's if so i can understand/ respect ur defence of him. but nothing to defend really. merely giving it to wide open. i understand what he was saying but he missed the fact that boxing is a sport first. ppl generally take up sports cause they enjoy it. no? example ian callihan plays footy he got drafted at age 28. so going by wide opens logic he spent 12 yrs praying for a payday in the big league rather then playing for the joy thrill he gets from it, footy is a physical sport too. i dont think any str8 thinking person would pile all blame on briggs and clear green of any wrong doing because that just isnt correct. even the nsw combat commission denied that bout and he had already retired 3yrs b4 due to medical condition.
