media justice. bring back BRIGGS!!!

[sallywinder]

ok you newspaper journos. you read esb. you know the score on why paul briggs got the sack from comentary. because of the mundine influence...

you also realise that briggs has many supporters here because he brings a good, experienced, impartial commentary, and people respect him and like to listen to him.

so. can you blokes do anything to help his cause? do you care enough abour boxing to write an article stating fan support for his commentary? youve gotta write something everyday anyway. so how bout a boxing commentary article? it could include old tv ringside popular commentators, as an example... go on, delve into a bit of history....help boxing fans, change the boxing environment, and use this topic idea....

No, they don't read ESB, they just join up and write bullshit comments then report them.

[ashley]

I agree bring back Briggs.....hes a good bloke and good at his job

[bushboy]

Yeah im all for it, he's hard to match in Aus for commentary

[T.C.W]

yeah briggs is good

[Da_Hurricane_Briggs]

I understand that Mundine brings alot of money to Main Event , and how they would like to protect this by looking after Mundine but i wouldnt think that just because of this Choc can "ban" commentators from his fights...if anything you would think Main Event hold the power in the relationship , without them where is Choc going to broadcast his fights..NITV ??

[LeonMcS]

Double edged sword, hes a cash cow for them so they'd want to keep him happy.

Makes you wonder though, can you imagine HBOs Larry Merchants post fight interviews with him if Choc started up?

[shanemfr]

Mainevent are a bunch of useless cunts, they sit back and let him fight any bum he wants, the USA networks make sure their fighters have decent opposition before they agree to televise the fight.

[teke]

That sounds more like it ie. haters making up shit and running with it :lol:.

Some ppl forget that Briggs is a massive Mundine nuthugger aswell.

[ashley]

I have heard different.
Heard it was both Fox and the boxing commissions disciplining him for abusing the ref in the st clair v asuki fight here in perth.
given he was commentator opf the fight it was totally unacceptable. If st clairs corner cared that much (one was his wife) surely they should throw in the towel before any ref?

No mate.......I prefer the old wife's tale about Mundine being an evil bastard and controlling the boxing associations. :yep

Most know that Paul Upham got the same treatment from Mundine fights because of similar remarks 4 years ago.

A little bird told me that M.E. asked for Briggs & Khoder said "No"
Then Main event said "OK, we'll have Paul Upham back, which is it"
Hence the 4 year exile ended.

yeh i remember that.we used to have a poster here called Gavin Stone who was extremly upset and posted a dozen threads about the injustice and his disgust at pauls opinion.of course when they actually fought paul was proven wrong and choc was better but it was just his opinion why catch feelings over it.
anyway i think its just mundine fights he is barred from i think and now he is taking the choc show to america it wont matter.and briggs will be back on the team.
