Corruption in Boxing?

[pugilistprophet1994]

Corruption has actually been proven by the Feds and court systems numerous amount of times...Don King with bribing WBO and WBC...Bob Arum with bribing Judges...

Only a few have been actually convicted or found guilty of these things..

Don King was found to have boosted his fighters rankings in sanctioning bodies by paying, meaning his fighters would someone shoot up through the rankings.

But then again corruption is also in the U.S Government.

The IBF too with Don King.

I made a smart ass comment because you asked a stupid ass question. Is there corruption in boxing? Are you serious? I mean do some research :



As far as how to get rid of it, well we're never gonna completely get rid of corruption but we can reduce it. We don't need a governing body to look over the sanctioning bodies, we need just one sanctioning body with one title per division that sanctions all championship fights worldwide. This sanctioning body needs to be monitored by Interpol.

A governing body is a lot more feadible than getting rid of 3/4 sanctioning bodies. A central governing body was proposed by John McCain last summer.

When Roy Jones and Evander Holyfield get linked to steroids and can just play silent and everybody just forgets about it shows you there is.

The fact Arum frequently refuses the fights fans want to see and kills them like Floyd vs Pac, Gamboa vs Lopez, and Mares vs Donaire.

And Don King fighters just get ridiculous decisions still like Cloud and Alexander with Matthysse.
