Title: Boxing and the Mob Author: Jeffrey Sussman Narrator: David Marantz Format: mp3 Length: 7 hrs and 46 mins Release date: 05-08-19 Ratings: 4.5 out of 5 stars, 73 ratings Genres: Sports History Publisher's Summary: More than any other sport, boxing has a history of being easy to rig. There are only two athletes and one or both may be induced to accept a bribe; if not the fighters, then the judges or referee might be swayed. In such inviting circumstances, the mob moved into boxing in the 1930s and profited by corrupting a sport ripe for exploitation. In Boxing and the Mob: The Notorious History of the Sweet Science, Jeffrey Sussman tells the story of the coercive and criminal underside of boxing, covering nearly the entire 20th century.
