The Green v Briggs farce - the lunatic thread that won't die!

Didn't Briggs already recieve a training payment of $20,000+ in the months leading up to the fight??

 

yeah he was given an advanced payment of 20k so he could pay his bills, train eat and sleep properly, apparently thats how bad Paul was doing finance wise at the time.

 

FFS.. If someone gave me $20,000, I doubt I'd be training, eating and sleeping at all...

Breakfast. Bourban.
Lunch. Bourban and coke.
Dinner. Cheap *****. Bourban and coke. Cheap ***** again.
Late supper. Cheap ***** and her sister. Double bourban.. less coke.. or more coke under different spelling and cheap bitches sisters. Bourban chasers and a diet coke to keep the weight down.

Briggs to appeal $75,000 fine

PAUL Briggs claims he has been made a scapegoat after an inquiry found he participated in a "sham contest".

The finding arose as he failed to disclose the full extent of his health problems before a farcical fight with Danny Green.

Briggs was felled in 29 seconds after a glancing blow to the head during the July bout in Perth.

Western Australia's Professional Combat Sports Commission yesterday cleared Green of any wrongdoing, but fined Briggs $75,000 of his $200,000 earnings and cancelled his registration in the state.

The commission found his trainer, Billy Hussein, ought to have known Briggs was in no condition to engage in a genuine contest because of problems with his nervous system and so also participated in a sham fight. He has effectively been banned from the sport in WA, after the commission ruled it was unlikely to view favourably any application by him to register.



Briggs said yesterday he had told examining doctors about the "undiagnosed" problems. "It's a joke," he said. "Danny Green knew exactly what he was doing. I got into the best shape I could and this is just the commission trying to cover themselves and charge me for the expense. I passed every single medical test that they had."

He plans to appeal against the findings.

The fight had been switched from Perth to Sydney after the NSW Sports Combat Authority refused to sanction the bout due to concerns over Briggs' health.

Commission chairman Simon Watters defended the decision to approve the fight in Perth and the examination of Briggs' medical records. "Those medical reports gave him clearance," he said.

No findings were made on a massive betting plunge before the fight. The commission has referred the issue to police.

 

CHB.. The pants mate.. the pants!!!!!!!!!

 

......I feel certain 'Doc's' failed the test miserably also...

 

LMAO.. I dont know which is funnyer, that guys pants or Bobby Sinns training regiem love it lol, does anyone know did the TABs in perth pay out or its still pending?

 

you can't "fail" medical tests if you pass them? so how can the docs be implicated?
do you think and doctor, at a major sydney hospital would put their carrer on the line for a junky like briggs? or even Green Machine as promoter?
I don't think a few grand gets around that problem.

 

Yes, and the fight night doc who recorded concerns on the night regarding Briggs did so as a paid employee (consultant) of Greem Machine Promotions.
Wonder how much pressure was on this bloke?
A last minute call of if the main event......what would be the implications?
Has there ever been an example of this magnitude?

I have recorded an interview with the fight night doc who although had concerns and relayed these still allowed the tight to proceed.
I'll attempt an upload tonight....very interesting inside the circle interview.

 

it makes Green look bad too.he has been cleared of any wrongdoing but really articles like this make you laugh looking back.:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl
