Comments Thread For: Can Betting Motivate Boxing to Clean Up its Iffy Officiating?

[SteveM]

Money is already the reason boxing scorecards are off. A side gets protected too much. Even more betting money coming increases the chances of betting scandals as happens in football (soccer) occasionally

Interesting that Algieri said that big betting money could see commissions getting fired. Flip that around and you can see that he is firmly landing the blame for poor scorecards on the commissions.

Commissions appoint the officials. Commissions could but don't make the refs and judges answer media questions. Commissions can get rid of poor judges but don't. Flores should be hauled up in front of NSAC and be forced to explain his scorecard and media should be present - there should be full transparency.

So why doesn't that happen? Questions should be asked more of the Commission members. How and why are they appointed? How are they remunerated. I bet a full audit of their finances would be revealing

boxers are an investment, some make more money for u than others & some make no money for u at all, which will u protect as hard as u can?

The promoter invests - but how does the promoter protect his investment?

Is it all down to judges reading boxing news knowing who the A side is and skewing their scorecards accordingly?

Do promoters sometimes bribe judges?

Do casinos bribe commissions to keep A sides winning ? (but dodgy scorecards happen everywhere)

Do promoters bribe commission members?

A bribe can be anything from a free ticket to a show to timeshare in an offshore apartment.

The issue is lack of transparency and no government has the desire/motivation to investigate because there's no political gain to be had doing so - ie most voters could give a fugh

I got lucky. I bet on fundora on the day of the fight. Got odds of 4/1. I bet on Pitbull to win and I bet on wardley to win. I cannot complain at losing on the wardley fight as a draw was more than fair tbh. Plus I made profit off Pitbull and fundora.

I do see where this article is coming from. But I think gamblers will always gamble.

Yes good questions

I think it could be as simple as judges just knowing what fighters promoters & other vested parties need to keep winning at all costs basically, take a few guys we know have been well protected, Canelo & rolly (im laughing putting them in the same sentence here), one is easy to figure out, the other may need some communication along the line somewhere but rolly definitely got the treatment one way or another

Someone asked if there's a foolproof way to win at roulette, and honestly, I don't think there is. You can have your lucky numbers and betting patterns, but the house always has the edge. That's why it’s called ********, right? You win some, you lose some. The thrill is in the unpredictability!

If you’re looking for a bit more insight or just want to see what others are saying, check out https://pafikalsel.org/. They’ve got some good reads and tips that might give you a fresh perspective. I found it pretty helpful to get different viewpoints and maybe even pick up a tip or two that can make your game a bit more interesting.

So, my two cents: Enjoy the game, don’t bet more than you can afford to lose, and have fun with it! That’s what it’s all about. If you get too caught up in trying to crack the code, you might miss out on the enjoyment.

Your insights into the boxing scene are spot on. It's frustrating to see how money can sometimes overshadow fair play and transparency. Speaking of which, I've been immersing myself in online ******** lately and stumbled upon some new slots online that have been a breath of fresh air. If you're into checking out some cool games, you should definitely give pafisamarinda.org a look. Anyway, back to boxing, it's high time commissions step up their game and ensure accountability for judges and refs. Transparency is key to maintaining integrity in the sport.

Betting could certainly play a role in motivating boxing to clean up its officiating, especially with more people putting money on the line. When fans and bettors start losing trust in the fairness of the sport, it puts pressure on the organizations to ensure that fights are judged accurately and without bias. Inconsistent or questionable officiating can lead to bad experiences for both casual viewers and serious bettors, which could harm the sport in the long run.

From my experience betting on 789bet, I always appreciate when the outcomes of events feel fair and transparent. It’s crucial for the integrity of both the sport and the betting experience. If boxing continues to attract more betting action, hopefully, the spotlight on officiating will lead to some improvements.
