Fighting Against Corruption In Boxing
After watching Jose Cotto's get a draw with Prawet Singwangcha a few months back it got me thinking about how to ensure this type of injustice on the scorecards does not go unaddressed. After tonight's Casamayor-Santa Cruz fight it got me thinking again. Casamayor won that fight because plans have already been made for him in the upcoming future to fight in a showdown and Santa Cruz was not supposed to interfere. At first I was thinking a petition against these particular judges could change things, but after seeing the sad lack of interest in the boxers pension plan petition I doubt it would work. So why don't we not buy the next ppv that Casamayor fights on or the judges judge on. It may not seem fair to Casamayor but Santa Cruz is missing out on a big payday in a unification fight that he earned the right to fight in as champion. Boxing fans hold more power than any commission or promotional company, but fans being are taken advantage of just as fighters are and nothing is going to change unless something is done. Anyone got any better ideas?
