Comments Thread For: Joseph Parker's Promoter Rips Shannon Briggs: Stop Running!

[PhillyBox11]

When the newbies say they made a "lucrative offer" they probably mean 40-50k. Not sure they really understand how things work yet. Really a bit of an embarrassment for Joseph Parker.

1. Australia's Canada, then
2. Former 2 division champ with more mass appeal than Parker. The way the landscape is now Haye will likely win his 5th world title before Parker gets his 1st.

What are you smoking kid? Parker is one win away from a title fight - David Haye has no path to a title mapped out.

There's a reason why Shannon Briggs is talking and running around the streets, but not fighting. In fact, there's quite a few reasons. I'll leave you to scratch your head and work them out.

What's his definition of "lucrative offer"? What does old man Briggs have to gain by fighting some Aussie no-name? It's "LETS GO, CHAMP!", not "LETS GO, PROSPECT!"

I don't know what ****s on your credibility (do you have any?) the most - thinking Joseph Parker is an Australian, or calling him a no-name.

He's only a no-name if you don't know jack about HW boxing.

DUCO are a bunch of hot air spitters, no doubt about it. But damn son, you're a scrub.

I believe they have stated that should they beat Takam they will still look to have at least 1 possibly 2 tune-up fights before their title shot.

At this stage in his career that's all Briggs amounts too, a tune-up fight.

Aah ok, I didn't know that, thanks.

I thought the IBF demanded that the winner face the Martin/Joshua winner.

How embarrassing to be calling out a 44 year old who wouldn't stand a cat in hell's chance against any decent contender.

I'm surprised that in this click-bait era of social media you haven't worked out how fighters/promoters play the game.

I thought the Takam/Parker winner is mandated to the Joshua/Martin winner ?

Why would they select Briggs ?

Did you not read the article or are u just dim?
He's talking about an offer made last year..

Maybe you need to actually read the article yourself ?

" Tell Shannon Briggs that once we finish up with Carlos Takam, we might give him a crack at Joseph "

They were obviously not referring to last year.

According to Dean Lonergan, promoter for undefeated heavyweight contender Joseph Parker, he made a lucrative offer to former WBO heavyweight champion Shannon Briggs - who rejected the terms without a counter-offer.
