    A lot of these boxers ain't very bright, to put it mildly, and they have no union or anything, and they are in a sport that is run by gangsters, and they are surrounded by parasites. That's why a lot of them end up broke - and those are big names too. The ordinary joes on the undercard, forgedaboutit!

        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.
        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.

          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!!

              Sultan apparently "RAN" most of the fight. Briggs can't run because of his lungs.

                Sultan didn't run, that's silly. Sultan was the one who initiated almost every flurry. Briggs doesn't attack he waits.

                    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

                      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.”
