All fighting is a little like that though. Boxing has “journeymen” who often have 5:100 win:loss records and are just there to train startup boxers and not risk hurting them.

Once in a while they win against morons like Jake Paul, but I think that usually happens when they’re ready to retire, since that might keep them from getting called up again.

And with all the betting apps now I think the likelihood of fixing all sports are astronomically higher.
