I want to see what it looks like the different ways fighters fix fights, pull their punches, stuff like that, so I can spot it when it happens again, probably in the next PPV that gets put on the schedule lol... which fights should I watch to get a good idea of how it's done?

What are the most famous fights that are confirmed to have been fixed?

Jake Lamotta vs Billy Fox might be the most famous cuz he's admitted to it.
I believe there were several Mark Gastineau fights that were fixed by that fat Elvis looking promoter. The Doc Anderson fight is sorta kinda one I guess you could say cuz Doc was allegedly drugged for the rematch after he beat Gastineau the first time around.
And Bob Arum had some alleged fixed fights with Butterbean & Jorge Paez back in the day that come to light during the IBF situation.

The Boxing Union of Ireland suspended the purses of both fighters, amid reports that unusually high amounts of money had been bet on McDonagh to win inside the distance. The BBC reported that odds on McDonagh to win via fifth-round stoppage had dropped from 125-1 to 18-1 by the afternoon of the bout.
I thought Danny Green vs Briggs was an obvious fix, and again Briggs was a likeable fighter, was entertaing vs Adamek, but I'm guessing he realised in training his body was shot and so just bet on Green by 1st round KO.

Mike Tyson vs Clifford Etienne
Only time I've see a fighter get knocked out and take out their own mouthpiece
