Is the Briggs-Vladimir debacle staged?

[Cinci Champ]

I think Briggs just finds out where he is going to be and shows up, he wants a big pay day. Wladimir will no doubt fight him.

Its not going to be hard for him to find out where Wlad will be, pretty sure they virtually live down the Road from each other.

Marketing at its finest. Like that catchy song on the radio that you hated two weeks ago but now, can't help but turn up the radio as soon as it comes on.

I voted no but Briggs ain't crazy. I just don't see Klitschko setting it up. Briggs wants a free shot. That's all. Wlad took Pianeta as a voluntary so he *might* take Briggs. Don't think he will though. Wlad can make big money by fighting a lot of guys Briggs has probably never even heard of. Why go to the trouble to stage a bunch of goofy stuff like that when you are already one of the highest paid athletes in the world and have your plate full with better options?

I thought it was staged after some of the crazier stuff. But the bouncers in Germany wouldn't let Briggs near the ring or even enter ballroom where the final press conference was. Maybe Klitschko was helping Briggs get some publicity initially but now has had enough of the spectacle.

At this point, yeah...maybe not much at the beginning, but now?

Yeah.

This fight is gonna' happen.

Let's Go Champ!

Definitely staged. Why?

The answer was given by Briggs at his appearing at the press conference before the Klitchko/Leapay fight:

'I ask around the town: ''Do you know who Wladimir Klitschko is?'' and nobody knows.'

Klitchko wants to get the North-American money. But to get to that he needs to be known around the town, in th neighborhood.

Part of this publicity campaign is #letsgochamp.

At the press conference after the Pulev match WK was very good hearted to Briggs and said that a match against him is completely possible. (Sry, have no time to find it now and this is not exact quotation).
