Strange situation. I can assume that your country is economically undeveloped. If economic processes are proceeding as they should, then corruption (and hence the destruction of sports) is simply unprofitable for those who are engaged in this.

I would like to draw your attention to another point - sport is very often associated with politics. And politics is the main environment for corruption. Therefore, I think the less participation of the state in such matters, the better for everyone. Sport is commerce and a businessman will not be acting to make a loss to his firm (unlike a corrupt politician).

Well, after some comments that I read, I thought to myself, because I couldn't find an exact answer ...

Does anyone know what kind of sport is more corrupt and manipulated these days? Soccer? Boxe?

Corruption in sports is generally greater in developed or underdeveloped countries?
We cannot determine a data for that, because it will be a shame if something like sports fixing is happening in any sports institutions and nobody wants that. Some sports fixing might go undetected probably with the help of higher ranking officials. On to what sports is the most likely corrupted we will never know.

It's not easy to detect sports fixing and government officials are not even focus on that, all they do is just to impose the law which is to tax the gambling establishments and inside the gambling establishment, there's a lot of things they can't monitor anymore, however if the time will come that they will caught because somebody came out and expose it, that's the time that they will act and investigate it.

In my country every government during the election campaign have the statement we'll abolish corruption on the sports in the manifesto. Is this is common or I'm seeing this on my country. In each and every game, during the selection process bribe is being given. This has made several able sportsmen discontinue their passion on sports and do some routine job for their living.

Same as this is the gambling, more key players are involved with match fixing even after getting huge sum of money after every match winning/losing. Why certain sportsmen have such greed towards money when people are starving to have a single meal on a day.
Corruption will never be abolished, do you know why? It is because the people b hind this corruptions are those people who is in the higher position so that they have the control on all kinds of aspects. Corruption is everywhere, every country has a corruption and even the richest country is full of corruptions. I've seen a lot of match fixing in e-sports and I see this as an bad habit because they are like doing this in order to earn money they are not playing anymore they are doing this just because whether they win or not they will be having a bribe, no matter what happens they will get the money that they want by just abusing this match fixing. I've seeing so many match fixing on E-sports in China, so be careful gamblers.

Corruption is one of the most worst attitude in  country. Many people actually always tell that there are some corruptions that are normals because people always tend to tolerate it. In my country, there's a lot of corrupted people and one of the most annoying is that the corrupt people are those who have seat in the higher. They always believe that this corrupt government official are always right. Many people started to get brainedwash. In gambling, the corruption might also be a problem in terms of those betters that asking for some sevice. Watch out to those negativeley effect on you.

I don't think they believe that the corrupt government officials are always right. But usually, they can't do anything about it, so they just go with the flow. Unless, someone has the courage to report this official to the authorities and willing to take the step of pursuing a complaint even it will cause him resources to sue the official. And I know, very rare that you will encounter such individual who is willing to take this action. Normally, people just accept the situation and most of the time they join them.

I believe that kind of corruption is still not present in our country but that is surely another great way to make money for corrupt officials. The community of people wanting sports are always the greater part of the country because it is one source of their entertainment but rigging the whole system is somehow really scary because we cannot determine on how will they be bribed or playing their matches throughout a season. It would be really a huge blow to people who love sports and people who just do sports to make money.

They are not coerced to corrupt because those corrupt officials only offer them the money and obey what they want. The decision will be up to the players, but the players can get tempt because of big money offered to them. Although that money is not too big to compare to the corrupt officials, that is big money for the players, and maybe that money will be bigger than what they got from their payment.
You don't clearly know what happens behind the scenes, there are players that are coerced to do it because some of them have principles so bribing them isn't a feasible option for the officials. Yes, the decision is up to the players but when you are coerced, you either stand by your principle which could have dire consequences or you accept the condition because you have someone you care about. It is not that bigger than the players payment but it will always come down whether they accept it or they are coerced.

The worst thing the players can get is get fired from the club without any reason but to disobey the rule. That will stop the player's careers and they will not have any chance to play the game for the rest of their life. Yes, I know that some players coerced to do it because I heard some local players caught by the local officers, and big money has been in their hand. It is a serious matter for player and jobs for the government to be solved and the government needs to protect the players from that thing.
Nope there are some chance that the players that being fired from the club comes back and prove them wrong .

remember that this case has no hard proof because there is no contract inside and just a word of mouth .

It is going to be difficult to find precise data about it because those that are cheating are not going to go out of their way to try to tell you what they're doing and how they are manipulating things around different sports in order to gain an unfair advantage, however taking into account that soccer is the most popular sport in the entire world by far and it is the sport that moves the most money I think it is a fair assumption to make that most of the corruption in the sport world is in that sport.
Yes, in a way we don't know the numbers exactly. But I think soccer is still one of the most manipulated sports today!!

Another question about manipulation/corruption, do you think a world cup has been or can be manipulated these days?
(I asked about the world cup because it is one of the most awaited soccer events in the world)
I don't have a precise answer to that but if does, for sure that's a huge billions of dollars that we are talking with, manipulating such huge events where a lots of people / gamblers are watching/betting.

There might have a lots of speculations and different views about this question as until to date there's none who can give concrete evidence if manipulations been made.  World Cup is the most awaited event and money are flowing within, gamblers picked their sides in hope that the team they've supported will bring them the fortune.
Yes, I agree with you @Fredomago, it is a good question, in my opinion I think there may be some kind of manipulation in some games or moves in the world cup.

They probably do it well. If this manipulation does happen and everyone around the world knows, the world cup will lose your credibility!!  Undecided

According to this article, football is the most popular sport for sports betting, so your assumption is right.

https://lastwordonsports.com/2020/06/15/most-popular-sports-betting/

and it rank as follows.

1 Football
2 Tennis
3 American Football
4 Horse Racing
5 Basketball

It is true that football is indeed the most popular sport in the world, so it's no wonder that it is the target of corruptors to get money. Almost all
sports betting sites provide betting options for football, then other sports may not be available on all sports betting sites. But I was surprised from
the ranking that Basketball is at number 5, I thought basketball was the second most popular sport after football but it wasn't. And another
surprising thing that boxing is not included in the top 5 popular sports for gambling.

A form of corruption is Match Fixing. For your information, match fixing is played for a partially or fully pre-determined results. This can been seen with almost every game. This is done for the purpose of making money through gambling. This is attained through money transfer to team players, referees, and other authorities associated with the game.

In recent days the match fixing has increased high. Compared to the year 2019, there is a big rise in the match fixing number during the pandemic. The article Match Fixing On Rise During The Pandemic And Diversifying Into New Areas gives the detailed information on the games on match fixing. The major focus is over football,tennis, and volleyball.

Players who doesn't wants to get involve with this kind of activities are prone of being thrown away by the team.

Chain of commands and with those big influenced behind the associations, those players most of the time doesn't have the choice, instead of playing clean, with money and pressures from those people behind they'll choose to go along the wave, even how clean they wanted the game, they are not in control but those who managing / manipulating things behind.

Yes, they will not be used as the team, and they can not even play on the other team in that country. Maybe the only way for them is to go to the other country and search for the other team which can accept them. If there are no ways out for that player, I think they need to search for another activity to help them survive.

Corruption and sports can still happen if there is no support from the government and strict action from them.

i don't believe that they are being forced to do that instead they are being Blinded by the Huge amount of money that has been offered to them.

Imagine that the amount sometimes is enough for them to retire?

My cousin has a close friend in which one of the most famous Basketball player in our time now Here in my country and He admits that corruption is happening and sad to say that they are being part of it.

Because how can you deny a year contract payment that you will only earn in a singe championship game?

Some of them are being forced, but some others accept the offers because of huge money. That money will be enough for them, but if they are greedy, there is not enough money for them because they will feel hungry for the money.

That is happening in many countries, and not just in your country, because corruption is happening everywhere. They can not avoid that because they will not be used by the team anymore if they try to run from that.

I guess every politician aims to abolish corruption in all shapes and forms but it is my first time encountering it being very particular to Sport Corruption. Now this could be due to various reasons that us outsiders wouldn't know but if it involves using the Government Funds then that could be a call to action. Hence why these politicians in your country are very specific about it.
Indeed, it is very difficult to separate sports and corruption, because in reality the two are closely related. Because for corruptors, sport is the easiest
way to make money. They just need to arrange the results of the match the way they want. They can do this by giving bribes to the referee or
athlete. Because sports are very much in demand all over the world.

Therefore, now there are so many sports betting platforms that have sprung up. Another interesting fact is that it is very difficult to eradicate corruption
in this world. Because corruption occurs everywhere, perhaps it is the human nature of being greedy to make corruption always happen.
sports is undoubtably intertwined with corruption, but the thing is, if let's say the government of the United States all of a sudden released a statement that the Superbowl will be under surveillance to ensure that no corruption will go on, then that means for something major or weird happening in the backgroumd.

The worst thing the players can get is get fired from the club without any reason but to disobey the rule. That will stop the player's careers and they will not have any chance to play the game for the rest of their life. Yes, I know that some players coerced to do it because I heard some local players caught by the local officers, and big money has been in their hand. It is a serious matter for player and jobs for the government to be solved and the government needs to protect the players from that thing.

Like Mafia?
Does that happen in reality?
I have never seen news about one team doing the same thing. Throwing the game just for the purpose of money or they are blackmailed.
I do know about boxers acting though. Like they are knocked out but not really. It's to avoid hurting themselves after they are already paid by someone else just to lose the game.
It's actually funny because the act was caught on camera.
Yes, myself too haven't come across such news. I've come across the management providing drugs to players before the games which weren't legally adviced. This is done mostly for added stamina which helps in the winning of match. A team coach/managing head will never involve into similar form of corruption, because it will be mentioned as an anti-national activity.

Although that money is not too big to compare to the corrupt officials, that is big money for the players, and maybe that money will be bigger than what they got from their payment.

They are not forced, but if they don't comply, sometimes their careers are played by the corruptors.  Because by having money they use all means to achieve their goals.  So sometimes, like it or not, the players accept corruption.  Those who don't want their careers to be ruined should resort to such dirty things.

Maybe that is the risk that they will get if they do not follow the corrupt officials to the sportsmen or the players. We do not know what will happen to their careers, but that might happen to them. If that is the case, they can only follow and shut their mouth without saying to other people. The corrupt officials guarantee them that they will be saved as long as they follow them. That will make a hard decision for the players because that is related to their careers and, sometimes, their life.
