Huh? So two boxers fixing a fight (or even a single boxer) don't control the dumping? How many millions are bet on boxers?
People line up to buy boxing on PPV. Only us diehards do for pool. That's the difference. Not how likely one is to dump.

How many boxing movies have been made about dumping, or where dumping was shown in it. Probably all of them.
Boxing is still as popular as ever because people like watching fights.
People don’t like watching pool. It’s boring.
That’s it. That’s the root of the entire “no money in pool”.

Right. As long as the handle is big enough, the book makes money. And right now I can go to DraftKings and bet on darts*; which must be even easier to fix a match in w/out raising suspicion. I guess a lot of people watch (and bet) on darts.
These are the dart leagues DraftKings has lines on at the moment - European Tour, Modus Super Series, PDC World Champ, Premier League. I believe at least one of those is Matchroom.

No the boxers do NOT control the dumping. They have controllers that tell them to dump. Those people are also the people controlling the book.
Ah, I gotcha now.
I suppose it could be either way though. If the book is the Mob, it's probably the way you are saying. If the book is a big corporation, its probably the players/boxers themselves, having their friends make the bets.
If you're talking la cosa nostra, I don't know. If you're talking the mob as in organized crime, absolutely. As far as big corporation, then that's a distinction without a difference.
