The money is in the split decision. Mere words unless you are a betting man. Boxing is a sport where many have been turned off by corruption dating back over 100 years. Fight fans tune in to see excitng matchups not to mention a good upset from time to time. When a robbery occurs scratching heads and chants of bull**** are not uncommon. But can there be robbery when the right guy wins?
Recent notable fights involving Golden Boy Promotions have caused dire hard insiders to look at possible corruption in the scoring of its fights. Namely three fights cause one to notice a current theme that has been taking place such as Mayweather/De La Hoya, Casamayor/Santa Cruz, and most recently Diaz/Katsidis. Each favorite won their fight by split decisions in which most observers would consider not being particularly close fights.
Many split decision wagers carry huge odds since they are hard to predict and draws carry even higher odds.
