    Boxing has always been bent since the start of time, although it does seem to have deteriorated over the last couple of decades.

    Money has turned most sports into a ****ing joke.

    Show me one major sport that does not have a high degree of corruption.

    It's about time people wake the **** up, and see that the people running **** whether it be governments or sanctioning bodies, are pulling are panties down.

    It's time for the revolution to start.

    Don't be naive. Arum is the same as King, which continued the corruption from the mafia. After Arum dies, another promoter will continue.
    It will be always like this because how the business of the sports lacks oversight.

    Kill one cockroach, another 100 take it's place.



    Re the OP's question, from what I know, horse racing is the most corrupt sport one could possibly imagine.

    Boxing is a pretty close second.

    MMA doesn't count because IMO it's not even a sport.

    ^ Having said that, boxing certainly gives the IMPRESSION of being the most corrupt.

    Heck, the powers-that-be seem to not even care about PRETENDING it's legit.

    What other sport can you be beating the **** out of a guy and you lose the fight? Yes, saying judges are incompetent is giving the a free pass. Judges like van Hoy has been on the end of some of the worst decisions in recent times. It can't be coincidence. Yet, nothing is done.
