For those who don't have time to read it, the short version is that the FBI has raided Bob Arum's office and there's apparently been an allegation that the Mosley-DeLaHoya fight was fixed. I wouldn't mind seeing Arum out of the sport, but even a rumor about a fix in one of the biggest fights of last year is terrible for boxing.

Boxing has so many nails in its coffin there won't be any room for the body when it finally dies....

Fight fixing has been around as long as the sport. Let's face it, this isn't the first time this type of story has surfaced, and it won't be the last.

Will boxing survive? Absolutely.

I just find it interesting that someone in the FBI said they found evidence of a possible fix between that particular fight.

Between this and the Tyson lawsuit against King, 2 of the biggest names in boxing Arum and King could be out. That wouldn't be bad for the sport at all.

I don't particaularly like King or Arum, either as people or promoters, but if they weren't around would see as many promotions as we do now?
