    this is an e-mail Im planning to send to the New York Athletic Commission...

    Should I send it? What else should it say?

    Here is what I've got so far.

    Fellas, c'mon. Please do something about the obvious corruption in the judging of these big money ppv events! I'm begging you! I dont want to give up on the sport I love so much, but when time and time again, I see blatantly bad scoring in bouts. Take a look a the various boxing message boards on the internet like boxingscene.com and boxingbb.com and others. Anyone who knows boxing sees these same issues I do. Go back and look at fights like Golota-Ruiz, Pacquiao-Marquez, Golot-Byrd and others and try to see how such poor scoring could go uninvestigated. No, Im not a big fan of any of the previously mentioned fighters, but I do feel like a fight should be judged fairly. Dont you? Please, guys. Whether you respond to this email or not, (I would appreciate it if you did) at least think about the state of the sport as it is right now. You guys, and the other state commissions have a responsibility for protecting the sport from just this sort of thing. You have got to do something. Please.

    Yours Truly,
    Corey Griffith

    be more direct and cold, no need to mention your love of boxers or not, just tell it like it is and make it look like it will benefit them to investigate, rather than you.
    tell them
    1. it makes them look bad when similar organisations look at the state of boxing here.
    2.the straight facts, why you think the scoring was bad, directly and coldly.

    They take you more seriously that way, don't get friendly with them just make them look bad and they will do something (hopefully)
    Get some names too, like ours so they know you are not some troublecausing upstart, i will gladly put my name down if it does any good or not.
