Neither of them were even main events. I remember watching both of them with my brother. Both fighters relatively unknown, but not untested. They just were never promoted very well. I would venture the purse total for this fights being around $150,000 and $200,000 before the split.

I think the problem with this fight is not that Briggs took it, it is that some sanctioning body actually let him fight. This is such a disgrace to boxing. I am very fearful for Briggs mental health.
