    You know, this doesnt surprise any of us. The strange thing is that I bet briggs singed some kind of contract he didnt fully understand or didnt have the proper legal review.

    All through history boxers have been screwed from their purses by promoters being greedy and smart and boxers being greedy and dumb.

    It's Brigg's fault. He should know better in choosing who he does business with. He got mixed up with Turkish crooks. It's a trend. Ask Wesley Snipes, or OJ.

    I hate it when slimy people around a boxer try to take all his money, look at what kind of punishment briggs took for that money, he deserved that money big time

    Chef, I guess the issue is: was Briggs paid $250,000 to fight Vitali? If so, it's pretty low, wouldn't you agree? For a title fight?

    it looks bad

    Finkel works for K2 . Another opponent of Klit get very little and pays his hospital bills.

    this will be interesting I dont think finkel and co would do that in the states , lets see what happens here

    I am sure Shannon will be on the boxing sites soon enough

    read again buddy... it had NOTHING to do with the brothers... its an issue with BRIGGS and his promoter... not the brothers... Briggs got his check..... its the promoter that is screwing briggs

    now if you are saying thats why Haye wont sign because Booth is gonna screw him... im fine with that:yep

    I understand the original offer was 500k, here it states he is owed 750k. Not sure what the real purse actually was for Briggs.

    Either way Briggs couldnt demand a very high purse for this fight.

    see but that makes sense that its more cash if Briggs was a partner in this company.....

    once again.... this is Shannons issue with his promoter.... not the brothers
