    I know it means very little in the grand scheme of things (and I personally didn't bet) but morally, you cannot take the money for betting on Valuev to win.

    God, I'm so sad for Evander

    It's almost on the Meldrick Taylor vs JCC level of cruelness.

    I agree, but official records are official records. Robberies are a risk you run when betting on fights.

        Robberies are apart of boxing. **** that, if you bet on someone, then you got to pay your bets. Do you think the bookies care about all the ppl who put money on holyfield to win?

        Nope, they're happy about the robbery

          This wasn't a robbery. It's just plain cruel.

            I would loved to see the live betting and who they had winning. Could have had Nikola at huge odds i would imagine.

              Seeing as we're dealing in e-money, I think we can make a moral stand, don't you?

                two wrongs don't make a right.

                  I'm not saying it wasn't. I feel bad for Evander, I really do. It'd have been easier for them to hold him up at gunpoint than do what they did to him tonight.

                  But a bet is a bet. When you bet on a fight, you do so at your own risk. And as boxing fans we all know robberies are not entirely uncommon in this beloved sport of ours.

                  When you make a bet you're betting on who will end up with the "W" in the record book, not who will look the better of the two, or who should've/would've/could've gotten the victory if only.......

                  To me a bet is your word, and if you break your word you're pretty much worthless. It's like shaking a man's hand and then stabbing him in the back almost. Whether it's real money or dumb e-points, the concept is the same.

                    Had I bet on this fight and picked Valuev... I would not expect the person to pay... But I certainly wouldn't give them the points instead..
