Would you pay Pulev to take a dive?

[deathofaclown]

If you were Matchroom, Top Rank, MTK etc..Would you be tempted to get Pulev to take a dive for a few million, knowing that there could be £100m+ to be made from Fury v AJ? So what’s a few million when you’re guaranteed crazy money in return?

Not that they would probably need him to take a dive but there’s always a risk in boxing. Would you be tempted to try to eliminate that risk knowing what lies ahead financially?

Certainly possible with all the shady characters involved and with the amount of £££ at stake. If I were Pulev (and the scary folks at MTK weren't involved) I'd take the money and still go for the KO

What are the consequences if found out?

Depends. Those that find out can also take a pay off..

Happens in all industries.

I guess how tempting it would be depends on how it arised (not so tempting if you have to ask) and how confident the fighter is to beat that guy, pretty confident in this case I'd imagine.

Also AJ and Fury got plenty in the bank and probably could still earn alot even if AJ did lose.

Probably not worth it.

I may not think highly of AJ but he isn’t so bad that you have to pay Pulev to take a dive.

Joshua is good enough to destory Pulev anyway.

Yeah, and especially with Arum involved in Fury's potential future earnings, I'd be surprised if this conversation hadn't already taken place in a back room somewhere.

Arum backing Pulev to cause the upset is obviously just him offering public support for his fighter. He's far too shrewd to overlook the big picture and the sheer amount money involved.
