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?
the average is soccer...
in my country, 'soccer' is the most popular sport and after that badminton, other sports are only a small part and 'soccer' in my country has a bad history such as nepotism and scoring manipulation.
Yes, the same in my country. Practically the "whole country" plays soccer, maybe ~ 70% of the sport is focused on soccer.
So, with this high percentage rate, a good part of the corruption is in soccer in my country, but it is logical that there is also corruption in other sports, but on a smaller scale.
Even FIFA was accused of corruption several times, so I think soccer is the most corrupt sport globally talking. There are many situations involving money laudering, bribery, fraud and all the kind of thinkable cheating with FIFA. Actually any activity in this world involving too many different individuals, countries and a lot of money has some corruption going on.

Wil depend on what game is too popular in that country. There are scripted games sometimes for the sake of doing illegal activities or by mere fact of being corrupt or putting money to the players to just do what they wanted, it can be from soccer, football, boxing or even in basketball as long as there officials who see opportunities to gain profit from it even in a biased way they will try for sure to do it.
Yes, I agree! Soccer is the most famous sport in the world (generalizing), and I think it is also the one that moves the most money worldwide.
I think that another important factor is the country, because depending on the rules and laws they can favor a certain type of activity related to corruption.
