IBO cruiserweight champion Danny Green has vowed not to pay Paul Briggs a single penny after the outcome of their fight nearly caused a riot at Challenge Stadium in Perth, Western Australia. The fight was over before it began. Green barely hit Briggs with a shot to the head, and Briggs went down for the full count in only 29 seconds. Several replays showed the punch barely grazed the head of Briggs.
Fans were throwing objects into the ring. Briggs was showered with objects and beverages as he tried to make it back to the dressing room. Fans started loud chants of bullsh*t. Briggs was fighting for the first time in three years.
Green got on the mic and tried to calm the crowd down. He was very angry, telling the crowd he would make sure the purse of Briggs was withheld. Green said he felt like going to the dressing room of Briggs to throw him a deserved beating.
"Guys just chill out, no one's as pissed off as me, believe me," Green said. "There's not one more person in this room is more jacked than me. I can't say sorry enough for that person. He ain't even a canine. Paul Briggs ain't getting paid a cent. I don't blame each and every one of you guys in here for being filthy. I want to go to the change room right now and give him the flogging he deserves."
"I'm ... spewing and I can't say sorry enough for you guys. I will make it up to you guys. Thank you very much for coming out and supporting me. He ain't getting paid guys, I'm very sorry. I can't do anything more. I just can't say sorry enough. I don't know, I'm just flipping out right here."
