Shannon Briggs Accuses Dan Rafael of Conflict of Interest

[Evil Abed]

"Dan Rafeal is a Shelly Finkel fan" Briggs tweets (Finkel is a main player at Empire). "He should be fired from ESPN for taking a position without the facts. Fat piece of ****."

"The things you said about me after the Vitali fight where bad coming for a 43 pig feet sandwich eating ass **** like yourself," an irate Briggs tweeted at Rafael.

Here's what Briggs is really pissed about: Rafael dismissing the claims in his lawsuit against Shelly Finkel without giving him a chance to tell his side of the story:

In an online boxing chat on January 28, 2011, Rafael, when asked about the merit of Briggs' lawsuit, said:

"I don't believe it. Supposedly, he got hundreds of thousands in advances, which is part of the purse anyway. Was also told he ran up something like $70,000 on his promoter's credit card bill that they covered. But who knows the truth? That's why a judge will decide."

Briggs is firing away at Rafael on Twitter, claims Rafael is on the take.

Briggs could give Charlie Sheen a run for his money on Twitter if he keeps it going.

"When I was part of the empire [Rafael] was TOLD to write nice of me. I lost they released me. He went back to trashing me & eating."

Fat **** is on the take.

I wouldn't go that far-- he gets a lot of good inside info probably BECAUSE he favors certain promoters and their fighters, like he did with Devon Alexander, who ended up embarrassing him.

Him saying Alexander clearly beat Kotelnik, that's when I knew something was up.

LOL. You must be thinking about a different Dan.

Devon Alexander was one guy Rafael clearly was backing, and it ended up biting him on his ample butt.
