EVERYTHING is fixed! What is your reaction?!?

Trippy, not sure. I'd be mad at first, but then I'd realize that they're pretty impressive actors and tune in on occasion.

 

I would stand in genuine awe of a conspiracy on that scale.

It would make me wonder whether other conspiracy theories are true as well. Did we really visit the moon? Do aliens exist? Was Greb real after all?

If a sport as disorganized, massive, and old as boxing has sustained inhuman levels of information security across generations, with zero leaks, I shudder to think about what other kinds of conspiracies have escaped detection.

Frankly, from an epistemological standpoint, it would probably be more likely that the coordinated boxing commission press conferences are the scam. That would still be a stunning level of conspiracy, but not the same degree of Matrix reality warping.

 

I would hit rock bottom, and alternate between watching live fishing, and laying drunk on the carpet!

 

Well. At least it was still good entertainment

 

Are you sure we aren't talking about the WWE?

 

I’d think…

Why couldn’t they have fixed a successful world title bid for Herol Graham?

And why did they fix it for Douglas to beat Tyson?They kinda scored an own goal with that one, considering us gullible fools would’ve paid a mega fortune to watch Tyson v Holyfield at that stage. Douglas v Holyfield just didn’t exactly capture the imagination.

Oh and while we’re at it, what’s with letting Spinks stop Holmes from beating Rocky’s record?? Larry actually agreed to that piece of nonsense??

And talking of Rocky…nah I better stop there, I could be here all night!

 

I would say “I knew it!” and demand back ALL the money I lost on fights. I’m a reasonable person though - I would be willing to allow a pass for the fights that I bet on correctly.

 

The Lizard People are the only ones who could pull this off.

I knew Don King looked reptilian!

We should have known when the first major boxing promoter was a guy from Kansas City who called himself ‘Tex.’

 

You make an excellent point re gambling. There would be so many…and I’m talking millions and millions of people probably demanding billions and billions of pounds back in gambling losses.
But I can imagine whichever people were responsible for such a mega huge and fantastically incredibly successful con trick may well have a few extra nickels/pennies put by for just such an occasion as them ever being found out and sued.

Mind you, an organisation that could carry out such a successfully elaborate and “super-villain-esque” deception may well have ways of stopping people claiming back their losses. Suspicious car crashes, house fires, even the rise of another covid type pandemic would suddenly start claiming lives all over the world!

Nah I think I’ll let them keep my money!

 

Jim Morrison was the self proclaimed Lizard King. And it wasn’t a reference to “Little Jim”. That’s all I’ve got. Just say’n’.

 

Vic - now you’ve got me paranoid (I’m closing my blinds as we speak and checking for “bug” devices).

I’ll do an agent 86 and say “I hope I wasn’t out of line with that crack about wanting crack my money back…”
