Wasn't Phily heavily involved with fight fixing in the 1940s, too? Some people think "Tommy Como" in Raging Bull is partly based on both Frankie Carbo and the Philly guy who was into boxing, forget his name.

Why not ? Chicago controlled most of the Las Vegas casinos,ruled on the West coast and had strong union ties and is still strong even had only 30-40 made men.
