Thread: What does Shannon Briggs have to do to earn a big payday fight?

So far he has fought 3 zombies and the fights have been bile-inducing.


What say you?

Ideally? The same thing anyone else would, beat someone who is ranked highly and look good doing it. He has arguably never done that in his entire career though, and he's probably made a few good paydays as is. I heard he was fighting Lepai in Australia That makes sense for both.

He needs to throw these at Wlad instead of those sandles he was wearing

Honestly he has been where he is going. The guy has only beat 1 top ten fighter in his entire career, and it took a last minute brick from a dark alley to do it. I hope he does fight a live body but don't think he will.

On a better note, good to see ya back bud.

These might work to

Stop acting like an idiot first of all. If someone was following you a around demanding this, that, and the other thing what would you do.
I know what I'd do. Everything possible to make sure whatever that idiot wanted did not come to pass.

That is the ultimate punishment one fighter can give to the other which is not giving them a pay day. Even if you beat the crap out of them they still have the satisfaction that they are getting paid.Hatton never wanted Witter to get paid, khan does not want Brooks to get paid and I think Wlad does not want Briggs to get paid. The only reason he fought Haye was to get hold of the title.

Every so often you'll have a recently retired fighter jump back into the ring in the attempt to get one last run at the title. This is like Briggs' 3rd time doing this. Of course if they're young enough o make a comeback they fight young up and comers who aren't yet contenders, then they take a crack at the contenders, then they earn the title shot. In this case Briggs is fighting no hopers in the hopes that he can bypass the field and honestly he's just wasting his time.

Briggs should have stepped in with Wilder and taken his best shot. #1 It would have been a decent challenge for Wilder #2 Briggs could have earned a shot at the much easier to win WBC belt which would have meant a title shot AND a unification shot....but Briggs and his management team are a bunch of morons.

It's a bit like James Toney who wants big fights despite not doing anything for years, but then goes and turns down the oppertunity to fight Charr and Roy Jones JR. He's called out Eddie Chambers recently too which makes no sence for anyone. Going back to Briggs his best bet would be to fight Lepai and somehow get him out faster than Wlad did. It ain't gonna happen though.

I'm betting Tyson Fury would fight him
