Shannon briggs made $500 000 tonight

Agreed. Shannon Briggs isn't even a fringe contender at this point.

 

Euro 750 000 is a very solid amount of money. It is more than a $ 1 000 000. It sounds generous for me.

Also Ivaylo Gotzev have said that KlitschKOs offer good money. I tend to believe him since his fighters have dealed with KlitschKOs more than once. So he knows these things unlike some people here who purely speculate on the subject.

 

Also do not forget that in the 80s Don King took most of the money so that fighters were left basically with nothing. That's how Tyson went bankcrupt.

It is normal that a fight in the USA pays more than a fight in Germany or other European country. Potential buyers are much more in the USA. USA has population of more than 300 million. It is like the whole EU population.

 

Yeah, 500.000$. It's not all about money -

Briggs is in intensive care right now. :verysad

 

he didnt deserve it, he fought scared the hole fight and didnt try to win.

 

500k for 1 night...cant complain. Vitali could have fought anyone else and make just as much.

 

well the likes of briggs have nowhere to go, so the klits know that they can bully them inb the negotiation table, but they must realise that they can't do that to david haye because he has a bigger fan base, and brings the last title that the klits want to the table.

 

by what i've read it's not life threatening, but he does have two fractures under the eyes. got a great heart briggs, shame his ability can't match that heart.

 

Briggs took a beating for 500,000. Too bad he didnt use his right hand at all.

 

Don't know if this right but I read he got $30million for Snowski, it was an article on the Scene

 

I think that was probably more like total event earnings....not his cut.

 

A lot better than 50,000$ vs a nobody to wind down his career.

 

Johnson only got 350 000 to fight Vitali

 

then he got 349 000 too much! :roll:
But Briggs didn't get only $ 500K, he got € 785 000 in earlier reports.

 

K2 is a disgraceful bunch of champs. Quit crying about who you are fighting until you open up the purse strings to AT LEAST mid nineties levels. Wlad was offering guys 300K to fight him....are you kidding me? 300K offer to Tuaman.....yes he is coming off a bad draw but come the F on! Tua can make that much fighting a tomato can. Cheap *******s.
