There are instances of football matches being fixed but it's rare. I can see certain UFC matches being rigged too. Some decisions both by the referees and the judges can be dubious at best. But overall I think sports are pretty honest.

Are you totally sure?

Something can be a sport even though it is pre determined, I think Pro wrestling is a sport however as U mentioned It is Predetermined


Btw Yeah It may sounds a conspiracy , but c mon ...THERE IS a lot of money in bet (:

Well, the 1919 World Series was fixed but I can't think of anything else being fixed.

Some people say the 2012 NBA Finals was fixed but that's only been said by Heat haters.

They recently found half a dozen Rugby teams and two Australian Rules Football teams (Essendon and Richmond) taking proformance enhancing drugs, so, if they lie about that, they must lie about other things. A matter of fact, the Melbourne Demons were accused of tanking (Losing intentionally) to get the first draft picks.

I think more than wrestling is predetermined in some cases. Maybe not the sports themselves, but some games and fights could be fixed for some reason.

Reminds me of the time when the Road Warriors were meant to lose the Tag Championships, but because they didn't want to, they won the match (Which wasn't supposed to happen) so badass xD

I think some matches can be fixed. Most of the time it is really hard to do it. Are you talking about this because of the Barcelona game today may I ask? Lol, I can see why that would come up though.

ofc some sports games in the past were because it was much easier

in sports there will always be rigged matches lesser so now a days

but in more minor leagues that can be done very very easily

as for other sports like UFC and boxing it can be done too

but sports like hockey and basketball is much much harder to do so

but in essence it can be done in any sport and prolly has been done in every sport at some sort of level

whether its minor NCAA basketball to the MLB

Wasn't there a scandal in basketball not to long ago about some team cheating? As far as being fixed, I mean they have to practice that a lot in order to make it look legit. I don't know how it could be done to be honest.
