Yeah lots of fixes in all different colours and ways over the last 150 years. When you think about it even a mismatch can be called a fix. Look at tonight. Quick stoppage on Ponce, robbery over Herrera and a phantom punch ko on the same night. Why fight at all? Just declare people winners before the bell and send everyone home.
It is terrible and I would like to see it fixed but I assume the FBIs major concern is the money and that the government gets their cut of every penny.
It's weird to think about truth in sport. Take the Floyd/Manny drama for instance. People believe whatever they want even if there is video evidence contradicting their beliefs. It's Floyd, it's Manny, it's nonsense. I used to believe the dishonesty was probably worse in the old days when the promoters hired and paid the writers for "their opinions". But I just can't bring myself to that anymore. Every single day I'm disappointed by this sport and every day it sinks lower. All the evidence in the world doesn't change a thing. Thank God for that(sarcasm implied)
