Amazed at the lack of criticism of Green in the media & boxing circles.
NSW wouldnt even sanction the fight. Briggs hadnt even stepped in the ring in 3 years. Then wonders why this happens ha ha.
Green's rep should get the canning it deserves ILO.
It is the biggest shambles in sport, this is no different to the Storm Salary Cap cheating.
A good journo could write a ripping piece on this. Someone needs to blow the lid of this. The knockout in the first round moved from $7.50 in the middle of the day to $2.40 by fight time. The fix was in, no doubt. Maybe Briggs made $250k from the fight and another $500k on the side.
Danny Green has slammed Choc Mundine for fighting bums and nobodies but then he comes along and expects Joe Public to take Paul Briggs as a serious threat. Boxing NSW wouldn't even saction the fight, from reports Briggs couldn't remember what gym he was in after training and couldn't find his car in the car park. It was a disgrace from the start. This fight also raises further questions about the Roy Jones fight. That didn't sit right with me at the time and feels even worse right now. And as for the Green rant in the ring after the fight, that was staged to the hilt. Put the fire out in the crowd and then the next day till them that it was all legit.
Green Machine Promotions still kept the gate money and would get a cut from the TV sales, no mention has been made of giving any of that back. Green gets paid I reckon, $600k plus for the fight and his company makes more then a mill from the promotion.
Cannot believe that no one in the media is taking this on. Hopefully this joker take it on and does something;
The President of the IBO, Ed Levine has demanded a complete and thorough investigation of this fight by all authorities in Australia to get those answers. “Boxing can not stand another black eye” said Levine. “We need and expect answers to some very serious allegations concerning the questionable ending of this fight”..
