    Do you think there are bounties in boxing. or is all the cash flow done behind scenes. Would your perspective of boxing change if you knew if there was paid ways that a fighter intentionally injured or ruined another fighters career? We all know about Margarito.... do you think there was a possibility he was paid to do what he did? Or do you think it was his own team and self ownage when he was found out.

    Thought? Am I right? Am I full of ****?

    Well certainly the win against Miguel opened the doors for fights against Mosley and Pac. So if he wasn't paid to do it, there was at least possible financial gain on the horizon.

    It's one thing if you had, say, 40/40 split and the winner got the extra 20; or a knockout bonus.

      Correct me if i'm wrong but I honestly think if boxing purses where split like this there would be much better fights. or even have a base salary or pay for the fight but the purse is millions. i think both guys would be fighting all out. But judging of fights... would have to change, and a failure to judge properly, there would have to be some severe repercussions for not handing in the correct card count.

      But yeah as for Margarito and cheating... shame on him...
