The refs from the Paul Williams vs Erislandy Lara fight got suspended indefinitely. I think 1 has returned to boxing since then, but iirc it was years later.
CJ Ross got publicly shamed out of the business after her 6-6 scorecard for Canelo vs Floyd. I don't think she got suspended for that, but maybe she did.
Those are the two situations that come to mind off the top of my head, but there are more.
As for promoters I think Don King got his karma with his promotional career turning into w/e the f#ck it is now & the Ali Act that could be more appropriately be called the Don King Act cuz that whole bill is about stopping Don King more than anyone else.

Thanks for the reply.
I already knew about those ones.
I was thinking more along the lines of judges getting whooped or worse.
I'm amazed there isn't stories of old timey judges getting
shot or hanged or something.
Suspensions and getting public shamed seem to mean nothing i reckon.

Don King controlled the world heavyweight championship for nearly 40 years. Think about that for a second.
The only thing that finally stopped king was the Klitschko brothers. No matter what he tried, he could never get them to sign with him, and there weren't any fighters good enough to beat them that he could sign. His empire crumbled because it was always predicated on controlling the world heavyweight championship.
To his credit though, at 87 years old, he does have the interim WBA world heavyweight champion, who is on the verge of being elevated to world champion due to Charr flunking a drug test. An amazing feat for King at his age.
Adelaide Byrd (118-110 for Canelo in GGG-Canelo I) was suspended and barred from major fights after her disgraceful scoring for Canelo; I don't know what she's been doing lately but hopefully she's in Dancing with the Stars and not judging boxing matches.
