    There is no escape in corruption regardless of sport, profession or even lifestyle.

    In every major sport there is bound to be fixes. Too much potential money floating around for there not to be. I'm sure there are plenty of judges who walked away from fights with more than their reported salary. And some fighters who walked away with a little more than their reported purse.

    Of course. There are some fixed fights that make real fights and the rest of boxing look bad.

    There's that one real obvious one of that former NFL player, where he clearly didn't even land a punch. The boxer is Ray Edwards.

    Likar Ramos reaction to Marquez lunging right hand looked very suspect.

    Wilder-Scott looked fake as f-ck.

    Garcia-Herrera robbery.
    Malik Scott taking a dive against Wilder.

    Both happened on the same card. Both fights were fixed (In Garcia-Herrera's case, it was the scorecards that were fixed).

    It depends which way the pendulum swings..the promoters/managers stack the cards in there fighters favour.andre wards clinching gets overlooked on purpose by the ref..so yeh they get fixed.

    Some are, but I think fighters go in the tank (prepaid to lose) way less often than in earlier generations.
