"Paul Briggs ain't getting paid a cent. I don't blame each and every one of you guys in here for being filthy."
"He ain't getting paid guys, I'm very sorry. I can't do anything more."

I wonder if he has the power to hold back Briggs' $$?

Wouldnt the promoter pay? Or not?

I think Danny Green's company is the promoter.

If you are going to "take a dive", at least cop one to the face and make it look like it might have been able to knock you down

Unless you want to make it known you had to take a dive.

I've always liked Danny Green, but just last week on ABC Perth, I listened to him bag the NSW boxing federation etc etc at length and go on and on about how he would not be fighting the bloke if he wasn't fit to fight and stood a chance of winning.

Well that's a lot of egg and BS onya face Danny. Don't go criticising the bloke for taking a dive when you new full well that you were allowing a bloke 3kgs over the limit and 3 yrs past his heyday to get in the ring so YOUR company could make a profit from a meaningless facsimile of a title defence.

Whilst Danny has been stooged by the boxing world before, the buck stops with Danny on this one. His company should make at least a 50% refund I reckon.

The news over here is that Centrebet closed the book early on this one
Due to large amounts being plunged on a 1st round knockout
Call this coincidence , or corruption , I personally dont think there are
that many good judges of boxing whod be confident of dropping a wad on a
1st round knockout Particularly where Paul briggs is concerned
Round 1 Generally regarded as the feeling out round .
This is a farce of Don king proportions
Boxing in this country is poorer for the experience
What a circus
What has Danny green gotta do to get a decent fight opponent

Take offers from all serious contenders - not hand pick stooges and has-beens?

Not that Danny's previous fight with Roy wouldn't have been seen as legit going into the fight.. not so sure after the fight tho?


I reckon this bloke might have a real crack..

Briggs is a very real contender. There is something more behind this, even if he wasn't fit you dont fall to a glancing hit like that. Brigg's has had some lows in his life til now, this is definitely a new one.

I don't think paul has done much mma. Nathan was a K1 champion. Paul did Muay Thai- not octagon, but it ain't boxing either- he boxes like a kickboxer, hard to match a boxer on his own terms. All that indicates is the guy should be able to take some punishment and he has focused on boxing for long enough now to be technically good and he's proved that in the past with Adamek.

I don't follow/watch any of it though, just kickboxed when paul & nathan were at the top of their games so i've liked their handywork for a while.

i think you need to take a closer look at the punch and compression on the neck / spine.

Pffft your kidding.Puch their was no punch , it was a glance of the top of the head.Funny how their was a massive betting splurge on a first round knockout.Funny how the bloke chooses to fight a guy who hasnt been in the ring for more than two years.And states he would like to fight Brock Lesner m please.

His next fight will be with Joe Bugner or Warrick Capper.

Don't forget Lester Ellis (ay Martman).

Quality contenders, all of em' - if you believe a boxing promoter.

Sorry Martman but I can't see how Danny was taken advantage of?

His camp pushed all the way fro the fight and were the ones who stood (ironic term) to gain the most $$. Instead of accepting the NSW ruling it was pushed through over here in Perf (no doubt the strength of local popularity helped smoove the process) to ensure a profit was turned.

Seriously - as if Danny's camp didn't know the shocking mental and physical condition Briggs is in?? If they didn't know then they should be flipping burgers for a living.

I heard Danny (repeatedly) say on radio last week that he garaunteed that Briggs was fit and that he assured everyone that the fight was genuine and that he would not go ahead with it if it wasn't.

He really did go on like a stuck record and was scathing (to the point I thought he may have been worrying his lawyer) of the NSW officials that knocked back the fight. He also arrogantly belittled the process and officials - who we all now know were 100% correct.

Now there is a lot of smoke and mirrors in Boxing, but if you are going to publicly stake your rep on the line and confidently use terms like garauntee, as Danny did, then you better be damn sure you are not just sprouting rhetorical BS. Alternatively, be prepared to back up your 'garauntees' financially or kiss your rep goodbye.

No one should make money out of that fight.

Umm.. I wouldn't think a proffessional boxing camp would be relying on Sports Tonight grabs for their inside info would you?

Briggs probably had a 1 in 3 chance of knocking down a sparring partner. All he had to do was connect with one of the 3 hazy figures he could see before him.

One look at the bloke on the scales and Danny's camp knew this would be easy money - hence allowing him to exceed the limit by 3kgs. Absolutely NO WAY would the Green camp have allowed an opponent with a decent chance to be 3 kgs over him.

EDIT: And just to emulate Danny and repeat myself He (Danny) garaunteed everything was kosha and that the NSW blokes didn't know up from down. I don't recall Danny stating Jeff - who now hates me guts - reckons Briggs is hitting harder than ever etc etc.

Perhaps if the sight of $$ wasn't clouding his judgement (which is the minimum you could accuse the Green camp of) then he may even have been wise enough to use the other party's words for traction instead of placing his rep on the line, of his own choice.

Nope all he mentioned again and again was that he (Danny) and his camp were completely sure Briggs was fit and the he (Danny) garaunteed the fight was fair.

If I recall the topic was The plunge on a first round knockout
Australya wide , numerous betting agencies closing their markets as early
as 10 on the day of the fight , in a 2 hour period the odds came into $1.07
from $11,10 this is a sting that got out of hand ( loose lips and all that )
There should be an inquiry into this crap if boxing Australya expect fight fans to take boxing seriously
Boxing NSW almost killed the sport off over here 20 years ago probably part of the reason theres a shortage of quality cattle today
