    Yes.

    I don't know much about soccer, but the Italian league has made a lot of headlines due to corruption.

    Pretty much all sports are corrupt by the organisations that run them, boxing is one of the worst though, it's been like that for nearly 100 years.

    Man the entire point flew completely over your head.

    The doping issue is an argument of its own. I was not talking about doping. Im talking about game fixing.


    P.S. Dope testing in boxing is as laughable as any other sport, if not more so.

    Out of the major sports - yes. The problem is the corruption is at ALL levels. From fighters, to trainers, promoters, sanctioning group and the ABCs.
