    Sauerland puts the judges in a supernice hotel and after they check in a really nice girl knocks on the door and offers to have sex with them. Or something like that. Basically you have a really nice time as a judge when you do a show for a German promoter. Probably for a few extra quid on the sanctioning fee the WBA gives Sauerland leeway with the judges too, appointing people he's had a good relationship (in terms of coming up with the "correct" decision in the past) with. Everybody on the sanctioning/judging side of things wants the happy situation to happen every time they go to Germany so they come up with the right decision every time. Wasn't Ottke IBF champ? It obviously doesn't matter who the sanctioning body is as it's well-known how things are supposed to work over there.

    The promoter pays the judges. Although I doubt there was a direct bribe, I think judges are often heavily influenced by the promoter of the show. THis was a Sautherland event. Sautherland owns Valuev and has no interest in Holyfield. THose judges will likely get more top gigs from Sautherland. They did their service.
