Fixed Fights

We all know they occur but dont wanna say anything, kinda like farting in a crowded elevator. Are there any recent fights u suspect to be fixed? Sometimes theres more money in losing than winning.

I don't speculate since it would ruin the fun of watching the competition but yes it would be fairly easy to do and you can make a lot of money by betting on your oppenant.

this is not "throwfessional" wrestling (i refuse to call it PRO, bs imo), anyways i WILL say i think that certain organizations CREATE favorable matchups to decide the winner, or atleast a 80/20 chance, cuz we all know one punch is all it takes.

It is professional wrestling because the guys get paid. Just like if you are a professional garbage man, you get paid to take out peoples garbage, it doesn't have to be a sport.

I think Frye vs Takayama was a work...it didn't even look like they were hitting each other

Well, believe it or not, it happens. I know a guy who has paid 2 people to let him beat them, in hopes of getting on one of the TUF shows. Hell, he alsmost go on TUF3. Im glad he didnt, he's a disgrace.
