What are some documented cases of PROVEN corruption in boxing?

To my recollection several of hw Brian Neilsen's opponent (unbeknownst to him) were paid to take dives. There was an investigation and several people were convicted.

That's an exaggeration. There was a story on Jeremy Williams, but that was, as I recall, dismissed.

I believe it was bribing the IBF so a fighter could be ranked. This obviously still happens today without a doubt

In the mid 1990s, Arum committed a host of Felonies when he admittedly gave then IBF President Bob Lee over $100,000 as a “bribe” to allow George Foreman, then heavyweight champ, to fight Axel Schultz instead of a top contender. He accomplished this by laundering the money through Europe with then booking agent Stan Hoffman. Shortly thereafter, Arum admitted such in a US Dept. of Justice affidavit that was published here at RingTalk.com. The fallout saw Arum fined in a number of states, while unable to promote in Arizona.

wow....just wow. I don't know how he's allowed to get away with this stuff.

That fat ******* butterbean's record on boxrec is littered with asterisks because a lot of the fights were fixed.
