    Carl Froch fixes fights!!!!

    Carl Froch has admitted prolonging fights so that family and friends can make money from bets made.

    The former WBC Super Middleweight champion Carl Froch admits he prolonged a title fight to enable some members of his family to benefit financially.


    "I've done it more than one occasion and it was round five but that's not illegal.

    "I can say, 'right, I'll stop this kid in round five'. If I'm good enough to do that then fair enough.

    "I don't gamble but my brothers and my friends, they did quite well off it," he said.

    "I can openly say that because if I'm good enough to step on the gas in round five and force the stoppage then that's my privilege, and that's what I did in this particular fight at the Arena for the Commonwealth title defence.

    "But the problem with that is I held him up in round four.

    "He was there for the taking and I held him up, I got him with a shot, I could have ended up getting done myself in round four."

    Just saw this.

    Even though he says he isn't betting on the fights, isn't it still illegal?

    Wonder if the BBBofC will have something to say about this.

        Should be a jail term, just like the cricketer who went down on Friday.

            It's not Illegal, Boxers carry other Boxers all the time, It's not like he's paid a fighter to go down in a particular round.

            Talking about it to the press however is ******.

                So it's not illegal to defraud bookmakers?

                  yes it is, but this isn't fraud, when Ali said I'll knock him out in round six then knocked him out in six rounds was that fraud?

                  Are you even old enough to bet?

                  Besides Bookmakers are scum.

                    Bookies are scum me and you agree.

                    Ali didn't make money off it Froch did. Making money = fraud. Are you old enough to understand the law?
