Do Judges Need To Be Paid More?

I hope judges aren't getting into this for the money. Like any other job, they are aware of the salary when they take the job.

I do see what you are saying, but I don't know if paying them more in the answer.

 

Most judges are retired and nearing death look at the ages of the judges, they just do it to have something to do and not sit at home.

 

no one is getting bribed in these big fights. in this day of cameras and mics everywhere, electronic paper trails, we have not ever had 1 person accused much less have evidence pointing they took a bribe. calm down conspiracy theorist.

 

Its just another example of our society $$$$$$$$$$$ is the ultimate goal. Gone is the day when a fighter was proud to be called a champion now its just the $$$
Look at the ridiculous scoring for boxing at the Olympics? that was done because they couldn't trust any judges to give an honest decision. People will take someones life to steal $10 today

 

You're living in cloud cuckoo land Ice They said boxing was corrupt back in the 50's with the mafia & mobs Its 10 times worse today & the worse part is no one does **** about it

 

They know how to score fights! CJ Ross knows her scorecard is garbage!

It's all about corruption. The judges score the fight the way their corruptor tells them to. Money is all they care about, not what a bunch of boxing fans on ESB think of them.

 

Judges make very little money, and so it's easy to bribe them. These judges almost always have a day job. If you're CJ Ross, and some gang comes to you and pays you 200 grand to score the Canelo-Floyd fight a draw, of course you're gonna say yes, since you're being paid much less to score the fight honestly. And the gang will then bet a huge sum on Floyd by MD, and that's how boxing really becomes profitable. Of course, it might have been Oscar who paid her off, or the casinos. Motive matters!

 

Please people, listen to Teddy Atlas on episode 24 of Mouthpiece Boxing Radio Show, where he talks about how judges get bought. I don't understand how an intelligent person can watch these robberies for years - even decades - and never realize that it's about corruption. The judges know their scorecards are absurd, but they get so many "gifts" (read "bribes") from the promotor, that they can't refuse protecting the promotor's cash cow.

 

youre a dumb ass if you believe that.

there has never been one disgruntled judge or official to make 1 accusation even anonymously to bring any truth to your theory of being 10 times worse today. No chatter, no suspects, and damn sure no evidence. its just a big fairy tale if you believe that all of this corruption is going on and everyone is tight lipped and dont say a word about it! :rofl
even the mob and the toughest street gangs these days have snitches when they become disgruntled. You would have some high paid judge demanding to be a part of every big fight as often as he could in order to take this "bribe money". but no, they are gonna take this to their graves and make dummies like you think they are being given envelopes of cash with a wink and a nod :rofl
im sure you believe in UFO's and Bigfoot too....maybe even Jesus.

 

No, just better trained & screened.

 

^This & should be held accountable as well.
(Chop a finger off or somethin' that will teach 'em)

 

Or instill a culture of honor and shame, making them want to punish themselves.

The Japanese knows what's up. :hey
