Who benefits from a robbery?

[CGM]

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 are right of course, but the powers that be aren't thinking long term health of the sport, their thinking maximum dollar for themselves.

I've said it before, I'll say it again. Benefit of the doubt goes to the more marketable fighter. Mag has had his run. Diaz will make more money for more people.
