not a bad idea if a polygraph was reliable

how reliable is it

I think somewhere around 97-98%. Thats why I say criminally there should be no reprocussions but civilly yes...

Id be down especially on big fights were you have to afford 3 lie detector test. Ask them between rounds results are instant .
Why not use it. i can think of many ways to use it like use it before the fight see if the will get any monetary gain from outside their job are they or will they be bias towards a certain fighter. Its a multimillion dollar business why not bring back some honesty up in this bich.

Their results are not permissible in any court for any type of case, criminal or civil. Polygraphs can be beaten and they can give false results. Not all machine operators will have the same opinion regarding the same polygraph result as the results are open to the interpretation of the operator.

Basically they are worthless in the majority of cases.

People who think they work, have absolutely no idea of HOW they function or how the results are to be interpreted. It is not like they have a light that turns red when someone is lying or something.

They aren't. They've never worked.
