    Certainly. Too much money at stake for it not to be from time to time...

    ...That was completely embarrassing. It was like something out of wrestling.

    danny green was downright embarrassed and still wanted to kick his ass for putting him in the middle of this ...i felt bad for green...

    and news reports were saying a **** ton of last minute big bets coming in for a first round KO came in at such a rapid wave they wouldnt take any more bets because of this red flag

    mostly lower tier fights will be the ones.... no one is gonna fix the top fights because there is simply too much of a spotlight on everything

    Before I was such an idiot that I would say no. After that Danny Green **** my eyes were opened. I like to think the big fights aren't but after this Pacman **** who knows.
