The overall percentage of wiseguys to wiseguys in the "Black Book" is EXTREMELY minimal. Look it up, it's all public record. It's more a matter of the mob having its hooks in boxing being a thing of the past.

Don't get me wrong, it's still a dirty game. But it's not corrupted by WISEGUYS like it was in the past. Today it's the corporations doing the dirty work wink.


Boxing is a dirty business from the Don Kings and arums of the fight world...and you are spot on I mean you had 2 guys make $100 million each to dance around and not get hurt, sad boxing is so shady from ali-liston to today....hagler-hearns, and leonard-hearns, duran, etc were some epic fights but those fighters got screwed in dollars from the promoters and shady people involved back then

and I hear ya PB with ol vegas and the fight game..and on your point i think an UC FBI agent got someone in the philly family on tape in a vegas casino talking about the philly rackets in the past 5-7 years
