    Do you think top level Elite Pro boxing is more sport or business when it comes to final decision making? I'm not talking about knockouts and other less obvious dominations..Do you think that the location of the fight , money involved etc. may or may not be influential in the result of the fight if it goes to a decision...?

    Sounds like your asking is it fixed, in some cases I would say yes, overall no.

    The title question is misleading anyway. Pro boxing is both a sport and a business.

    It is both. And I would add it's more business oriented than many other sports.

    The 36 minutes in the ring is sport; everything else is business.

    for boxers its a sport(although they make a living out of it)
    for promoters managers etc its a business.
