For anyone that wants to know the payouts: Briggs earned $1.8 million in what could be his last big payday. For Ibragimov, who got $600,000, much bigger purses are ahead -- even if they come overseas. got it from espn boxing lol.
:boxing:
Why should anyone get 1.8 million to stand their and do nothing. Pay should be performance related and only the very top the cream of the crop should be paid in the millions
Good idea, but there are no absolute values regarding the definition of "performance." Did Mayweather perform well against DLH? As far as I can see he performed at his usual level. He made more money this time because more fans were drawn. That is really the only feasible system for remuneration.
Sultan apparently "RAN" most of the fight. Briggs can't run because of his lungs.
Sultan did not run.He was cautious but who would'nt be against a guy so much bigger with known one punch KO power.By the end of the fight tho he was taking it to Briggs alot more often and probably could have stopped him if he really went all out and was'nt worried about being KOed.Briggs landed a couple of flush counter lefts and right hands but Sultan took them well.Briggs was just lathargic and to hear him say he thought he won and this and that made me sick.....for the record going into the fight and during the fight I was cheering for Briggs.
Who gives a rats ass what he made, it was really the people paying for this pathetic ppv who paid him. The only lives this situation does affect are the people who paid to go personally or were stupid enough to pay for the ppv. Because now they are a hundred plus dollars paying for this fight. None of these athletes affect my life but if I were to pay money to watch it, I would expect a better showing. I was VERY upset when I paid 50 to watch tito vs winky, and trust me, I am a tito fan. If Tito would've at least tried, I wouldn't be so pissed. But to watch a guy just booble his head for 12 rounds, not having it.
your opinions on his paycheck have no logic or substance behind them. The fact that you think he got payed to much shows how jealous and envious you are. Its not very ADULT if you're sulking over a guy who earns easy money(without getting hurt) in the ring. There is NO DISCUSSION. Shannon Briggs got paid. YOU CANT AND WONT CHANGE THAT.
ok mate u win, I give up u still dont get my point. I should have guessed your lacking the inteligence to think outside the box
If u have this attitude to everyone in life who doesnt agree with you good luck. This is not the way mature adults discuss differing opinions but my guess is your just like ur buddy 2tough if its not u with a different user name

No, actually your opinion doesn't count towards anything meaningful. Shall i tell you why? Because the fight was a WORLD TITLE FIGHT, and it involved BIG TV networks with BIG promoters and lots $$$. He deserved every single penny/cent of what HE earns. The main thing is you shouldn't be jealous and envious of a guy that made his money EASY in the ring as it doesn't AFFECT YOUR LIFE!

Jesus man whats your problem. U seem incapable to see that all my point is that many sportsman are on over inflated paychecks they do not deserve. Its got nothing to do with my life, its an opinion thats all.

it doesn't affect YOUR life, why do you care? if you don't like his fights boycott him and start downloading them. His kids probably eat with solid gold knives and forks. BUT HOW DOES THIS AFFECT "YOUR LIFE?"

I still would love to know what his kids are eating can we at least drop the notion that he needs 1.8 million to feed his kids. I mean this quote i found online doesnt sound like hes on the bread line.
Now living in Florida, Briggs respects his past and accepts his realties.
“I surpassed all of that. I live in a $1.1 million dollar home and I laugh myself to the bank,” Briggs said. “It’s just real.”

you sound jealous and envious just because he got paid GOOD!! Briggs beat the man that beat the man.. Let me explain to you, Brewster KO'd Wlad who is considered to be "THE MAN" in the division but Brewster lost to Sergei who Briggs knocked out the ring. He was the man who was the CHAMP coming into the fight.
If he canceled the fight he would have lost the title, been banned for any TV networks and would not have got paid. In the last 2 years Briggs has been on TV twice. So it made sense to just fight under the circumstances.
Thats what you call fighting with HEART!!
Im not jealous at all why are u trying to make this personal. And its not just briggs I just belive that the rate of pay people are getting does not reflect what they are giving in terms of performance and above all entertainment to the public
Sultan apparently "RAN" most of the fight. Briggs can't run because of his lungs.
lmao. it was sultan that forced all the action and briggs was too much of a pussy to let his hands go becuase he kept getting tagged with sultans left during any exchange
If he wants to feed his kids he should do his fucking job......fight.Walking around the ring all night with you right hand cocked and hardly ever throwing a punch does'nt cut it.If I don't do my job,my son don't eat.....so I do my fucking job and do it well.

What kind of diet are his kids on that they need 1.8 million cant u accept thats its a over the top paycheck. If he was boxing just to feed his kids im sure a few thousand would do.
As for the breathing problems surely on a medical basis he shouldnt be boxing so who gave him a licence.

not really, didn't you hear the post fight interview??
he had scaring of the lungs.. his asthma was triggered off. and he could not train properly. if he pulled out, they threatened to sue him and ban him from the sport.
he has to feed his kids, i would have taken the fight and lost. Shannon has heart. don't cry because you just probably lost a bet.

Don King and the gang will get most of it. Maybe leave Briggs $200.
ww
that cant be true... surely not? Briggs gets a guarantied $1.8 mill... don king probably made more.
what a discgrace that briggs got 1.8 million for that display. These over inflated pay checks are a cancer that is killing this sport
