If you aren't a well known or successful athlete in the public eye with a duty to your sport I see why someone would take a dive for money...considering these guys are working even harder to provide for their families in the lower rungs of the sport.

      At top level I think it's unacceptable, and you disgrace yourself and the sport. If you have the talent to be competitive at the top level, make your money the right way.

      So it would really depend if I was a bum or some championship contender.
      On one hand if I was a bum maybe for a good fee, if I was a contender, never.
      Good point. I was thinking the same thing, if I had the talent of say a Alexander or Thurman or something, I would not take a dive because I could be competitive with some of the best. If I was someone like Amor Tino, I would take the money and bank roll it.

            LOL can't blame the dude then. I think he was 1-9 though, still a pretty horrible record.

              It's like a win gets him $1,500 and the dive prolly got him $10,000.....got to pay that light bill.

                    Lol at all you and your "pride". If someone flashed a million dollars at you, you'd dive, summersault, back flip, motorboat. Let's be real unless I was some top fighter making millions of dollars, if someone gave me enough money **** the fight I'll dive. I'll wipe my tears with the money man.

                      Like $1,000 but I'd make it really obvious so nobody made fun of me for losing after
