What fight are you REALLY sure was fixed?

[SirTomJones]

Sometimes your posts read like you're teaching 2nd grade or something. Okay noobs, I know you've only been watching boxing for a couple years so I won't call you ******s. Here's what's actually happening.

haha.

Left Hook Tua is cool in my eyes.

I think, with out a shadow of a doubt, that the Oscar De La Hoya vs Felix Trinidad fight was determined well before the two entered the ring....

Good debate.

clottey /Pacman looked fixed

[MindBat]

Anybody looking at Tyson vs Seldon on slomo replay were immediately claiming it was fixed. It's more likely a case of Seldon being afraid to of getting hit, but most folks believe he took a dive on purpose.

Clottey could have done more to Pac. Shane could have done more to Floyd. Pac & Floyd MUST WIN on both fights in order to fight each other.

Therefore, both could be fixed by the greedy promoters.

Yeah..whatever

Someone is just su****iously for no reason what so ever yelling "body shot" and then hopkins nails oscar with a shot that even the announcers were spoofed at.
The punch itself was so week that the glove didn't even fold under any pressure upon contact and oscars skin barely even moved to indicate there was being enough force to damage the kidney.

Then he rolls around perfectly fine and curses at himself before not trying to beat the count, then doesn't beat the count ,and stands right up instead of taking a stool.

The list of things that were wrong with that FIX go on and on.. not to mention the ROBBERY did to Felix Sturm the fight before just in order to allow the fix to happen and announce their partnership afterward.

Yeah, everything about that was fishy. And I know Hopkins is a slow starter, but the way the De La Hoya fight unfolded was seriously odd to me. It was in the early rounds that I started getting that gnawing feeling that something was wrong. The sequence of events from rounds 8-9 were just...wtf? Idk. And then they became partners, weeks (literally) later. They didn't sign a deal in two weeks, fellas. That takes a little more time to iron out the specifics.

Obviously, Hopkins needed a payday. And that's the only reason the fight was made. And losing to a much bigger, stronger, and better Bernard wasn't going to hurt Oscar's stature in any way. But a highly motivated Bernard (this was the biggest fight of his career, right?) would've put them thangs on Oscar something awful. ****, a not so motivated Bernard would've done that. Instead, Oscar was spared a serious beating, Bernard got his payday and everyone was happy.

Underdogs win all the time, first of all.
Secondly, you rig a fight in Pacmans favor regardless of his opponent because you have the biggest fight ever against FLoyd on the horizon.

Of course they do ******, but not in thrown fights where the result is known beforehand.

**** Pacquiao-Mayweather when you can make millions rigging a fight for an underdog to win.

If Arum put 1 million or even thousands of dollars on Clottey winning by KO and/or in a round in different sportsbooks in Las Vegas, Atlantic City, and the net... he would've made a lot more than what he's going to get for Mayweather-Pacquiao.

You might want to take a look at the odds and payouts, before talking out of your ass. Try again
