Who benefits from a robbery?

[RP33]

How can a promoter, sanctioning body, etc. Benefit from robberies? Wouldn't robberies actually hurt everybody in the sport? Starting with the fans, viewers, consumers, etc.? I see it this way, correct me if I am wrong...Imagine you have a restaurant and you serve good quality food, service, etc. But one day, you decide to save some money and pay your waiters less, buy cheaper ingredients, etc. To maximize profit. Sure, at the beginning it may seem as if things are doing good. You are saving some money running your business and profits may be higher. But in the long run, wouldn't that hurt your business? Having clients look for other restaurants where food and service is top quality? That's how I see robberies in boxing. Some people may benefit but in the long run, people won't be following boxing as much as before. PPV and attendnace have gone down, right?

What are your thoughts?

You answered your own question.. In the restaurant business you have substitutes for the service/food you are currently receiving. You CAN go to another restaurant and get better food. In boxing what choice do you have? Besides not buying a PPV for a Golden Boy fight, or a PPV in the state of Texas, etc.. It's not the same as something as simple as going to eat at another restaurant, because in the boxing world, that would be comparable to going to another sport.. MMA..

The fighter benefits from it.. how? because a year down the line when they're trying to sell a fight for the fighter who may have kept an unblemished record due to a robbery they can market it as two undefeated fighters, etc.. or market the guy as the guy who beat so and so (robbery or not).
