Social media reacts to ‘first photos’ of James Packer and Channel Nine CEO David Gyngell’s punch-up

IT’S the titillating tanty between tycoons and as usual, savvy social media users have given their own take on the dust up between James Packer and David Gyngell.

David Gyngell leaves James Packers unit block on the cnr of Campbell Pde & Sir Thomas Mitchell rd Bondi.

IT’S the titillating tanty between tycoons that has every media outlet in Australia clawing to get their hands on the first pics.

And while an intense bidding war between outlets takes place for picture rights, savvy social media users have taken their own angle on the dust up between James Packer and Channel Nine CEO David Gyngell’s punch up.

The former best mates can be seen brawling on the street outside Packer’s multi-million dollar Bondi Beach pad in Sydney yesterday afternoon. The stills show the men wrestling, before falling to the ground.

The pair needed to be separated by what appeared to be Packer’s bodyguards. They then retreated to their homes.

But, as usual, the responses are almost better than the story.

The Packer/Gyngell thing just proves that the lockout laws force dickheads who punch each other into other areas.
