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.

Game fixing can only exist if the regulators and the governing body failed to monitor, catch and prosecute those who are involved in game-fixing,
those who are involved in game-fixing mostly are not superstars in the league, these fixers can make huge money in a few games more than they can in a year of playing.
There should be no game fixing and all governing bodies must ensure that none can exist, that is why they impose very stiff penalties like banning those involved for life and their license revoked.

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.

That is interesting, I have never seen anything close to that in my country, it seems that maybe fixing matches is something common where you live and it needs to be eradicated, this concerns not only casinos that have huge losses because of it, this also concerns the sport itself, after all we watch sports in order to see individuals or teams going at each other with the best that they have, if this is no longer the case and the matches are fixed then there is no reason to watch sports anymore.

Because humans really love the world and to be able to live happily in the world, they are required to have a lot of money. Maybe this is
the beginning of corruption, but it is related to corruption in the sports world. To my knowledge it occurs in almost all countries, especially
in third world countries. So it's no wonder that in the end many high-achieving sportsmen choose to retire quickly and choose some routine
job to make money. Though sportsmen can become heroes for their countries, by winning Gold in international competitions. But because
many government politician only think about themselves, they end up corrupting and harming many sportsmen.

Especially if you look at the very large circulation of money in sports gambling,  making many corruptors adjust the score of matches that have
been experienced in the world of football in several countries. This is very embarrassing in my opinion, and will have a bad effect on sportsmen.

Lets separate the issue talking about humanity condition or simply talks about poverty or being poor because it has nothing to do on someones income or pay into their certain sports.
People are normally greedy and if they do saw an opportunity to make more then they will surely grasp it no matter what and even if it do  talks about on their stats to be affected
as long they do benefit out into those offers then that what matter most.Its a bit common but you cant able to identify or able to know it on public because these are
well hidden and cant be known if you dont have insider information but for sure they do exist.

No it's not the athletes who are greedy, but it's the people behind it, the commissioners and promoters. The athletes were just being told what to do. One of the most popular corruption in sports is creating fake hype just to sell their tickets and ppv (e.i boxing and MMA), then fixed matches are the worse one.
Sports like Basketball or Football is hard to rig for the athletes side, but that could be easy for the officials to rig a game.

Every government can make a statement about resolving this problem,but it can never be resolved lots of clubs live from fixing matches ,everything can be fixed from lower league to top leagues,in Serbia even 4th division can is fixed so this problem cant be resolved and it wont be.

This is already a long-running problem not just in sports history but in human history.
I don't know any solution to this as it is passed from generation to generation.
This is the truth, we can't eradicate this bad practice in the industry.
What we can do, is not participate in this game if we know that they exist.
Spare yourself from joining this dirty game and live a more peaceful life.

Corruption has been here since humanity is born. So it is not only in one country or two. But all around the globe. There will always be a form of corruption. That's human nature so you can't avoid that. And so with sports, there are people that are bought by money. They will always exist no matter what. It is only a matter of time before they will be exposed for what they are doing.

Exposing them is a really big deal and once they are exposed, it is not just them who are found guilty but the whole sport's dignity gets harmed and that is why sometimes, many players who are found guilty, are left unhandled just to save the credibility of that sport as they fear that people's interest will die in that sport and they may stop watching it and gambling on it.

Corruption is everywhere even in sports, even if the government will intervene, there are still greedy people who will commit a crime to serve their personal interest. Sports fixing brings big money to fixers, that's why they will not stop if they will not get caught, this is not new, not only in our country but it's all over the world as the world game fixing is happening in every country.
That what exactly what I'm thinking while reading the OP post, corruption is everywhere, even though in my school there is corruption that happens, how much more those big institutions that talking millions or even billions of money. The greediest on earth are us, people, we won't be contented with what we have. We always asking more even though we have.

Politicians do the same since it was already have been there, they gained more money than the sportsmen and the bettors keep losing their money, they are all pure greed and they should be rigged anytime soon.

Corruption can definitely exist outside the government but your example OP is a bit too fantastical, it almost looks like a soap opera, but then again, life imitates art I guess. These types of things are way beyond what we normally can do as an individual, and the hardest part of this of course is discovering first that this is happening.

Things to consider sports betting, always believe that sports are corrupt, and therefore don't bet on the team that you think would easily win as most of the time they loss on the point spread. If you are a better and been gambling for awhile, probably you have already heard the words game fixing or rigged games, this is actually true as some are already caught and punished, even an NBA ref which was caught rigging games and was sentence.

Not sure which country you are from but if you could cite a few examples about a sportsman who discontinued their sport because of the intervention by the government and supposedly blackmail him. Looks like a soap opera and even if these are true you cannot hide these for a long time.

Can you point to matches which you think are fixed. It is hard to speculate and say about generic things and it would be easy if you could say about the matches you think were fixed.

Two things, money and power. People will change behaviors at the site of a heck-ton of money. that is just the way of life. Greed may take over their conscience, which in that case they will be doing everything that they can do to get more money, even if it means disadvantaging the poor. Power on the other hand, is also a certain factor, when you have more money, you are king. And these figures will do anything to gain more money than the other guy to ensure that at the end of the line, he is the king.

I can't say anything on the match fixing as there are only suspicions to that though, i don't deny it to be possible but, the issue of bribery in sports especially in countries where sports is yet to be of standard as per international participation, high pays and all, it is a very challenging situation for sportsmen without funds to offer in selection. Its a very bad idea as you find most of the best sports men being left out and as such, we have more poor and poor quality of players.

It's happening in sports, that's why we hear the words "rigged" , because sports can be rigged so majority of the bettors will lose. As a gambler, I think we should be aware of that so we would know where to bet, some sports are not too obvious but it's happening inside.

Most of this is happening in boxing where we don't really know how it works and sometimes it is not obvious. we will just see one day that the fight was fixed by hearing it from the fighters who fought in the ring. you can see the example with this fight and they agreed the fight was indeed fixed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smHkN2ZpFWo
I was about to talk about that but you got first on it. Well, among most sports, Boxing is one of the highest paying one along with the gambling side that comes to every match. With this, a common fixed or rigged match has been set just for the money which both parties have agreed on.
If I am right, this also happens on other major sport leagues such as Football, Basketball but not as obvious. Another sports, where a fixed match or a rigged match is commonly set on is on E-sports which has been reported countless times but still has not ended rather fined by the higher ups.

I don't see that kind of situation today. Can you name those more key players involving in fixed matches?

Maybe on some small leagues or not heavily regulated but in big leagues, it's not the actual situation.

It was a game fixed wherein players aren't involved in most cases but the officials instead.

I don't think that any government can bring their involvement in sports because they are too busy creating new ways of making money from all sectors in their country. Sports corruption will not end till the greed of persons from roots till ends gets over, whether they belong from the sports industry or government.

I don't bet on local sports and I indeed have no trust in our matches. My country ranks very high when it comes to corruption, and there's definitely a strong possibility of fixed matches. But when it comes to top teams and leagues, I sort of trust that they're not rigged and that people are playing genuinely. But perhaps it's also naive of me to assume that at some level these issues don't exist, I don't know. Then again, I think that in case of fixed matches, some people would come out and talk about it because humans are not great at keeping secrets, especially if telling others can boost their popularity. So maybe it's not so abundant in sports.

As long as there is money involved, no one could end corruption. Politicians will always make promises that they can't keep just to gain sympathy and support from their people. It has been happening for years and I guess, even the government couldn't control sports completely but they will always be involved in corruption.
