No matter, they bribed the judges and got the result they needed.

He ended up losing, and leaving $300k on the table.

lol

A real schmuck in my opinion, always take the $.
$ 1st integrity 2nd

Yeah, all that shit about how he doesn't just represent himself but also Italy and he's a man of integrity.

How'd that work out for him?

If I played pro sports or college, I would definitely fix games

I hope he learns his lesson lol.

If still not, then next time he needs to make sure he knocks the enemy down in 1st rnd.

I am so glad you're not part of any mafia, JJ.

Would he have made more long term if he would have won?

Depends on what he goes on to do after wrestling. He's not making that money wrestling, even if he never loses again, lol, but he vould end as a celebrity or marketing success story.

But not likely.

He could go into high end real estate or something, but Olympic wrestlers not very highly paid.

Then again, a US gold medal winner could get like $250k, so take what I say with a grain of salt, as thta's the US.

Wow! I didn't know this was the amount of money they give to the gold medalist. A great motivation!

I agree, why not?

 

[jjgold]

Anybody in college that’s not gonna make it you should definitely fix games

Amen!

JJ, you’d get caught fixing games on the first attempt.
