    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.”
    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?"

        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!

          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

            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.

              I was in the arena and I tell you it was at least half empty. Have the PPV numbers been released. This had to be a financial failure.

                  Who gives a **** 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 ****** 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.

                    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.

                      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.
