    On the scene. Crazy. Briggs claims he was terminated by Empire Enterprises, his promotional co with shelly Finkel, Honig and Cohen. Claims he is owed 750,000 dollars by them. They even took from his pay for the hospital bills. Briggs has filed a case in a NY court

    I don't think anyone claims that it's either Klitschko's fault.

    I think it just shows what we already know; boxing is a shady business.

    Even $250,000 isn't worth the beating that Vitaly laid on Briggs.

    That's ****ed if true. Briggs deserved every cent of his purse for the beating he took.
