The corruption of boxing is why MMA is more popular.

Judges are a joke in this sport.

Adelaide Byrd is an MMA judge too. And has some crazy results there too.

The problem is the whole organization of the sport. You can only win a belt if you pay that organization their fee. Then that organization gets to pick the judge. In MMA everyone answers to Dana White and UFC. In Boxing you can have a guy like GGG who is represented by a small company. Sure he pays the organization their fee, but maybe 3-4 other fighters represented by his people do too. Golden Boy Promotions controls hundreds of fighters, and almost all of them are at or near championship level. He tells that organization that none of his fighters will pay that organization their fee anymore, who do you think they pick to come judge that fight?
