So I happened to watch a UFC related movie yesterday and the main character is a very strong one who never loses a fight but during a fight he decided to lose the fight, I found out that he did it intentionally because his uncle and his uncle's friend bet a lot on the biggest odd, which is the other fighter.
He lost the fight and he still made a lot of money from his uncle and his uncle's friend, how brilliant? Since they use a large amount and also on the biggest odd, but I think about the other gamblers who chose to bet on him because there was assurance that he would win the fight.
Now I started to think about the real life UFC, maybe this is even happening underground and we don't know? Jake and Mike Tyson's upcoming fight for example is gearing up, many believe that Mike will win, but maybe something like this will happen?
Many gamblers are placing bets on this fighter since its more reliable than you against the casino games, this is all about agility and skills, but the possibility of intent loss to make more money is also possible in this game, what's your take on this?
what you've watched isn't just applicable in movies alone, in real ufc fights, thier area matches that are fixed and it's almost certain that it will go on favor of a particular guy. Sports is no longer all about the entertainment it used to be in the past. Each fighter has his own sponsors and all of them want to make in big from whoever they are sponsoring. Iether a fighter wins or looses in a match, he still goes home with his money and and so it's not strange that they might just get paid to fake some sort of knock out and get a folk to win even when he is the weaker fighter. Similar scenario played out during the Anthony Joshua vs Frances fight when it was obvious that the match was already fixed and the fighters just had to come up and entertain their audience and go home with the bag.
To some extent, it's unfair to spectators who pay to get thier ticket expecting that thier favourite fighter wins the match only to witness a display of laxity that's mere product of a manipulated system. Their are real fights that's see till neutral in the UFC but few of them are damn fixed.
