To my recollection several of hw Brian Neilsen's opponent (unbeknownst to him) were paid to take dives. There was an investigation and several people were convicted.

That's an exaggeration. There was a story on Jeremy Williams, but that was, as I recall, dismissed.

In the mid 1990s, Arum committed a host of Felonies when he admittedly gave then IBF President Bob Lee over $100,000 as a “bribe” to allow George Foreman, then heavyweight champ, to fight Axel Schultz instead of a top contender. He accomplished this by laundering the money through Europe with then booking agent Stan Hoffman. Shortly thereafter, Arum admitted such in a US Dept. of Justice affidavit that was published here at RingTalk.com. The fallout saw Arum fined in a number of states, while unable to promote in Arizona.

wow....just wow. I don't know how he's allowed to get away with this stuff.
