    Could the Peter/Toney decision been influenced by $$$?

    Could the Peter/Toney decision been influenced by $$$?

    People are still complaining....
    Come on, this is as clear as daylight.

    Toney was the underdog for the fight, while most experts were picking him to win the fight. Were they wrong, no...

    When you have millions and millions of dollars at stake, people betting on the underdog Toney (that's like putting money in the bank)...

    Expect corrupt decisions to be made.

    Plain and simple

    if many ppl bet on the underdog, he is not an underdog anymore, bcos the odds are progressively shifted... or not?

        I don't give a **** what behind these bs decisions, but It makes me sick to my stomach nowing that if I watch a fight in which one fighter is doinating the other(like the Forrest fight for example) there seems to be a strong chance someone will get ****ed sideways

              Maybe fights disputed like this should be reviewed after the fact by a seperate panel of judges and rescored or something......but yeah it is always about Money and some people don't want the fair outcome.Hell I bet on Peter and forrest and it appears they both lost but I will take my Money without complaining because I have also been on the other end of the **** stick.......

                Back in the day even the bogus sanctioning bodies would order an immediate rematch, that is the only solution.

                    Betting lines are not created by who Vegas thinks is gonna win, but how the vegas predicts people will bet. This is why very popular teams like Notre Dame and USC get such larger spreads than seems logical...because theyre fanatic fan bases are the type of fan base that also bets a lot.
