So it happens much more often that they are on the right end of a decision

Some fights are close that perhaps should of gone one way but go the other, others are blatantly bad decisions

Now fighters can be more protected depending on their standing and earning potential

The kilts with wlad took this to the extreme , wlad would generally win a decision / get a knock out and all they had to do was let him hold and lean, both of which are against the rules , and they didn't mind that it was extremely blatant and regular because the German public would still pay

The fights were never pre planned but the ref and officials were well aware of the job they needed to do to earn they type of money they were earning

I didn't see Sam peter get warned for punching Wlad in the back of the head....at that point in time wasn't Peter a much more likely money maker considering the losses Wlad had suffered to Sanders and Brewster?

And the extreme blatant "against the rules" tactics of other fighters whom you never bring up?
