Packer and Gyng
 
Packer is a big unit ...... Does he really need body guards?

Of course not but if he has the money to pay for them then who cares? There's some pointless moron married to one of Bernie Ecclestone's kids who has a handful of body guards follow him around London, he's in a Masarati and they're in Rollers. Totally bizarre but each to his own.

Setting a very example to the kids of today. Two extremely wealthy men brawling like thugs obviously a bit lacking in intelligence. Money can't buy everything.

Good way to sort out their shit though

Violence solves everything

They could punch it out and be friends by 9am (apparently what happened) or stew on it like old bitches for months.

I was having a beer yesterday afternoon in the Icebergs across the road watching the a-league final. Must of just missed all the action. Apparently the video is out in the morning.

You can't buy class.

Two mates have a disagreement and do what guys do - throw a few punches and then move on with life. What's class got to do with it? Are rich people not allowed to lose their tempers occasionally?

Exactly. A few slaps, a bit of a punch up

All sorted

How anyone can condone violence in any form leaves me speechless especially when it involves two high profile businessmen. They both lacked restraint and were not in control of their emotions, something we try and teach pre schoolers.

Are these the sort of people you want representing Australia and running corporations ?

Yep, two life long buddies having a scrap, that's normal for boys isn't it?

Just watched the video and all I can say is that Jamie Packer could have put on a better pair of tracky dacks before getting himself into a brawl he knew would be seen by all and sundry - he looked just like old Kerry rolling around in the garden - not very flattering at all.

What's wealth got to do with class?

Throw a few punches... Do what guys do?

Not the men I associate with, thank-you.

You said money can't buy class. I asked what class had to do with two guys
letting off a bit of steam once in a blue moon.

I honestly don't get the attention these guys have generated. Are we all supposed to be so in control of our emotions 24/7 that the world gets up in arms when someone gets angry with a close mate? That's sad. Humans have emotions and sometimes they get the better of us. Providing the people involved are up for what happens and no one else is involved, who cares?

And it is better than hiring a hitman, as some have been wont to do when they have a disagreement. However, although the loss of control is understandable, I do not condone a public brawl whatever the circumstances.
