    You guys are really ******ed. Yes there is corruption in boxing, but how many people are involved and how do you think it works?

    If you really believe the promoters/managers/TV Networks get together and say:

    'Hmmm yes, we need these three scores to be in' and they all nod around a table you are mental.

    Just how many people at the various organisations and networks would have to be in the know for this to work? and just the simple guys working behind the scenes, are they also in the know and being paid off? lmao.

    The most simple explanation is that some dumbass was checking the graphics worked ahead of time using test scores and accidentally showed it on the live screen.

    Showtime didn't order the three judges to have their scores ahead of time and then tell the monkeys pulling the levers to set it up before the fight started lmao!

    Even if that is the case, it deserves and explanation because a lot of fans might think otherwise if they don't confront it.

    Pretty messed up. Something ain't right.

    But boxing is as as dirty a business as you'll find, so nothing really surprises me in it anymore.

    Oh there is no doubt. For his tears were shed for the willfully ignorant and naive lost souls who enjoy being deceived with sugar coated lies and corruption in order to believe in a fairy tale.

    He most certainly did, but then legend has it he died for their sins.

    Wow! I’m starting to think there may be some corruption in boxing. It seemed like such an honest and legit sport. Nothing surprises me when it comes to boxing. It’s always been totally corrupt and I don’t see a change on the horizon.
