Money talks. Bull**** walks. More so than ever in boxing and even in the world we live in it's more about who you know as opposed to how good you are. I've know quite a few boxers in Australia alone that are being kept out of big fights or even fights in general not because they havn't got the talent or credentials, but because of the '' dogs '' at the '' top '' If you don't have the financial backing or know the right people, good luck. The snakes won't let you succeed one way or another. An absolute scam.
MMA in Japan. Basically run by the mob. Steroids tend to be legal, or not tested for. Fighters desperate for a payday are matched brutally. Some fighters purse is withheld or turned over to their management, and they may not see a fraction of it. No commissions or anything to oversee the sport.
