Whose influencing the judges?

[Homervanderjazz]

Having watched the farce that was the Burns fight as well as many others it got me thinking as to who is influencing the judges- is it the promoters? What's the thoughts on this

[Russian Crushin]

Yes its the promoters. The judges and refs receive kickbacks if they do what the promoter wants

[Clegg]

There are probably times when the crowd influences the judges, but mostly I think it's the promoters.

[Jack Napier]

it's the promoters
judges curry favor to them wanting more big assignments
they'll tow the promotional line to preserve the promoter's agenda
it's all good if it's in the house, and judges fall in with that

Goes even deeper than that, i'm afraid. Promoters/3rd parties are able to influence the selection of judges/referees at commission level, where they are supposed to be objective and impartial.

This is on top of the system whereby referees and judges are essentially handed assignments by whatever sanctioning body they are answerable to. The whole system is corrupt
