Why? You know going in that the fight can either end by knockout, decision
(including draws) or a disqualification. As long as there was a fight, I see
no reason for a refund.
Of course, I have little sympathy for anyone who would spend $50-60, so two
fighters can get $30 million each, especially when these days more fights end
in controversy than those that don't.
The biggest joke was when people wanted refunds after the Peter McNeely
fight. To this day, I can't imagine what they were EXPECTING. A competitive
fight from a pizza delivery guy against Mike Tyson??
