Fixed Wrestling Matches in Antiquity
#1
I thought some here would find this interesting; it seems people may have been fixing prizefights as long as prizefights have been around.

Human nature never changes. One of the reasons why history so fascinates me is that we are so different on so many lavels from the ancients, yet can readily appreciate soldiers throwing dice, fixing wrestling matches, and merchants birbing politicans for protection.
