In your honest opinion, does taking dives, etc. still exist today in 2010?

    Yes, but at a smaller scale. I don't think it happens in the biggest fights anymore. The top P4P fighters have more money are better managed and have enought power to do what's best for them.

        i'd be willing to accept this as oppose to major fights, etc.

          speak on it.
          Yeah....I think so.

          I usually see you diving face first into Manny's lap, but I'm not sure if that counts.

            With the exception of the Pacquiao vs Clottey fight. I don't think so.

                  I'm sure it does, look at that one Danny Green fight. But I think the more mainstream guys just pay off the judges. It's easier.

                      i believe it still does on a lower level but i havent seen any fights in past few years,besdies green-briggs, on a championship level that i thought was a legit dive.

                      also a fighter just showing up to get a pay day is not the same as taking a dive
