Throwing the Fight	comment	Taking a dive. Fixing the match. Intentionally losing a sporting event, usually for monetary gain. You coulda been a contender, but instead, your ass goes down in the fifth. A nice fun intersection between the world of professional sports and the world of organized crime. People who take a dive may be doing so entirely for the paycheck, but they also may be getting their arms twisted by The Mafia with threats of physical harm, either to themselves or to a loved one. In that case, it's not uncommon to see the athlete back out of the deal, thus making them some powerful enemies (and sometimes not escaping them). In Real Life, those who get caught doing this can suffer some serious repercussions, most notably during the Black Sox scandal of 1919. However, this is one trope that is Defied more often than it's played straight. Our hero decides that he's not going to be anyone's Unwitting Pawn anymore, that the Only in It for the Money is no longer worth the loss of dignity. This of course costs a lot of dangerous people a lot of money, which they're not likely to be very happy about. See also Fixing the Game and Deliberate Under-Performance. Many of these ploys qualify as a Failure Gambit, though rarely sympathetically. Sometimes when Sparing the Final Mook, a hero may tell the mook to do this as part of the act. Contrast Going Home Again, when the character makes it to the big leagues, genuinely flunks, and then returns home to reconnect with their roots.

If you take this option, your mother berates you for being a loser even though you did it to protect her and the only reason she's in debt is that she borrows from a local thug and won't accept your money.

Throwing the Fight / int_1ff419c5	comment	In Kingdom Hearts II, Setzer bribes Roxas to throw the 'underdog vs. champion' match in Twilight Town's Struggle competition. Winning caused Setzer to hand over the Champion's Belt effect+10% to all elemental resistances; throwing the match (there is no way in hell you can lose unintentionally) earns Roxas a Medal effect+1 to attack as 'thanks'. The fact that Roxas earns the plot-important Struggle Trophy following either cutscene implies that the match is purely for bragging rights, and Setzer wants to keep the title.

Throwing the Fight / int_23165c5d	comment	A very sympathetic example appears in The Hammer. Jerry and Robert end up facing each other in the final matchup at the national Olympic tryouts, with the younger, faster Robert far ahead on points but, as a point of pride and honor, refusing to simply keep evading Jerry and run out the clock. This backfires pretty badly when Jerry manages to land several good, hard blows and sets him up for the knockout, but Jerry suddenly has a change of heart and decides that the younger man deserves the chance to compete at the Olympics more than he does. He pulls back his punch within an inch of his opponent's face and hugs him until the bell, letting Robert take the win on points.

If 'Irish' Jake loses, best-case scenario only Jasper will be lynched; worst-case scenario there will be a massive riot that causes hundreds of deaths. Morehouse was assured that Jasper would follow the trope, but Jasper was in NO mood to take a dive. Lucky for all involved, Morehouse had a plan B. He has the ref lay Jasper out when it looks like 'Irish' Jake may not answer the bell. None of the white people in attendance bat an eye at the extremely obvious cheating: they all had money riding on Jake. The black people watching outside are all pissed, but, Civil War era New York City being Civil War era New York City, no one cares what they think.

Unfortunately, when he demanded his payment, the gangsters stabbed him in the stomach and left him to die instead. The vampire Dimitri, who found the endurance he displayed in the match impressive, then showed up and saved him by turning him into a vampire.

Throwing the Fight / int_5889b359	comment	Some matches have been thrown during the events of the Bakuten Shoot Beyblade trilogy. The first is done by Rei in his match against Takao during the Japanese Tournament. Rei participated expecting no actual challenge and, indeed, he breezed through the tournament up until the second round against Takao. Takao beat him there. And needing nothing more than knowing there's still challenges for him out there, Rei walked away from the third round. The second thrown match was done by Steve, who had orders to stretch his battle against Takao during the American Finals so the PPB could gather data on him. Steve lost that match — it wasn't necessarily supposed to happen, but it did as a consequence of him holding back and the PPB were fine with it because they wrongly expected they'd win the rest. And the third thrown match was Kai's doing when he went up against Daichi during the tag team round-robin in the third season. He shot Dranzer out of the stadium, giving the BBA Revolution one point by default. The reason? He had been expecting to go up against Takao, but the latter was put on the bench.

Part of the demonstration involves showing off the Abomaton's combat abilities, Amity not even putting up a fight at all so it can look more impressive. This lasts until the Abomaton nearly steps on Amity's treasured Grom Night photo, driving Amity to rip the Abomaton apart in seconds. During the climax, Amity and Luz are facing off against the upgraded Abomaton 2.0 and are more or less at a stalemate with Amity slowly overtaking it. Amity takes the opportunity to force her mother into letting Luz, Willow, and Gus back into Hexside, threatening to win the fight and destroy the Abomaton in front of her mother's precious investors. Once Odalia agrees to the terms, they stop fighting and allow themselves to be "crushed" by the Abomaton's (hollow) hammer arm.

But at the same time, Monk also discovers that Louie has an unconscious habit of tucking his crucifix in whenever he's lying. Monk eventually figures out that Regis and Louie had bet against themselves to raise money for these experimental surgeries, and believes one possible motive could be that someone figured out that Regis threw the fight and wanted to get payback.

The scene is a direct reference to the Pulp Fiction scene (as the mobsters who solicit the offer tell him to agree to go down in the fifth, and repeat that instruction). Unlike in the comic book (and like in Pulp Fiction), Jack bets on himself to win by knockout—and arranges for the money to be held safely for young Matt since he doesn't expect to survive this double-cross.

Back in 1985 David Sammartino (son of Bruno) was unhappy with how he was being used and decided "If they're going to treat me like a Jobber I'll act like one", letting actual jobber Ron Shaw beat him by submission in two minutes while not getting a shred of offense in. See for yourself, complete with a "Bullshit!" chant from the crowd and Gorilla Monsoon on commentary trying to pretend like it didn't happennote But not before trashing "Saskatchewan, Alberta, Canada", and keep an eye out towards the end of the clip for Shaw spitting on Sammartino out of disgust for the lack of respect for Kayfabe. David, to the shock of absolutely no one, was blacklisted from the WWF the moment he got back to the locker room.

Throwing the Fight / int_9bb5aad4	comment	Yu-Gi-Oh! GX: In a Season 1 episode, Kaiser Ryo chooses not to activate his facedown card to save himself from a direct attack by Camula, since Camula arranged things so that if Ryo won, his little brother would lose his soul. In a Season 1 episode, the ancient pharaoh Abidos the Third had a reputation for being undefeated in duels, so the bad guys resurrect him and send him against the heroes. Judai gets the upper hand, and it is revealed that the reason why Abidos was undefeated was that everyone who faced him before lost on purpose because they were scared he would punish them if he lost. Abidos was mortified to learn this; he sincerely believed his victories had been a result of his own skill. In the first episode of Season 2, Edo Phoenix purposely loses to Judai after being told to by Saiou, using a makeshift deck made of forty cards from eight booster packs. Much later, after Edo has won once and lost once against Judai using his actual deck, Judai tells him the first time doesn't count, seeing as Edo let him win, which means they're even now. (Naturally, he's offering a "tiebreaker" later, but they never get around to it.) In a Season 2 episode, Kenzan and Sho have a duel to determine which of them is a more worthy friend to Judai. At the end, Kenzan is about to lose but can end the game in a draw if he uses his facedown card. He chooses not to play it after seeing Sho's devotion to Judai. Later in Season 2, Misawa loses to Manjyome on purpose, neglecting to use the Magic Cylinder Trap Card he set to win, as he feels the only way he can ever be important is by joining the Society Of Light. Still later in Season 2, when Manjyome breaks free of Saiou's brainwashing during his duel with Judai, he uses a card that gives Judai control of his White Knight Lord and then destroys it, even though he loses the duel via its effect; his reason for this is simply to destroy the symbol of what was controlling him, the Knight. Moving on to season 4, in episode 165, a sleazy TV producer named Mike tells Manjoume to throw his duel against Judai, as he believes good ratings are more important than an honorable duel. When Judai finds out, he calls Manjoume out on throwing away his pride and Manjoume realizes how low he's sunk. In episode 166, Mike orders Edo Phoenix to throw his duel against Manjoume, threatening to close down an orphanage if he doesn't. Fortunately, Judai exposes Mike's treachery and gets him arrested, allowing the two to finish the duel fairly. In the manga version of GX, Reggie MacKenzie neglects to activate her set Mirror Force card (or use her Swords of Revealing Light or even defend with her Seraphim Blaster) during her duel with Misawa during the tournament, which would have prevented his direct attack with Red Ogre which caused her to lose. (While it seems out-of-character for someone like Reggie to be nice to him, her reason is she simply thinks the tournament is a waste of time, so she bails on it.)

The catch is, it has to be a loss by decision, not KO or TKO, and you have to make it look "convincing" for the crowd by knocking Joe down at least three times before the end of the match. That means you have to let Joe send you to the mat at least three times as well, and he has to have either one more KD or slightly more health than you do by the final bell.

The challenge gameplay at the time consisted of a "Winning Team gets a prize, Losing Team has to eliminate someone" rule format. One team absolutely dominated the earliest challenges, sending multiple members of the other team home. Toward the end, the winning team realized it had been something of a Plague of Good Fortune: going into the grand prize Final Challenge (easily worth significantly more than any of the mini-challenges they had been winning,) they had a big, bloated, unweidly team in contrast to the smaller, sleeker and more streamlined "losing" team. Toward the end, they actually began to throw a few competitions to deliberately eliminate some of their weaker teammates.

Those who refuse the binding will discover what the dungeon can really do. Tam and his team are able to reach the core while bound, but when they return with the intent to restrain it, they're slaughtered by the first floor boss.

Throwing the Fight / int_c5ead8e8	comment	A lesser but related scam is point-shaving, which has been caught a few times over the years in college basketball. A player who knows the betting spread deliberately misses shots near the end of a game so that his team will win but not beat the spread. One of the more infamous cases of point-shaving involved the 1978-79 Boston College Eagles, who got mixed up with notorious mobsters Henry Hill and Jimmy Burke. When players started waffling on being involved, Hill told them that it was "hard to play basketball with broken hands". The NBA a few years back had a betting scandal along similar lines instigated by former referee Tim Donaghy, where he would call the games in such a way so that he looks fair with the calls but the scores are higher than they otherwise would be (i.e., 110-100 rather than 96-86). He would bet on the "over" of the over/under (you bet "over" if you think the sum of the two teams' scores will be greater than the given line, say 200.5, and under if you think the sum will be less) for the game prior to tip-off.

A big boxing match is coming up and the main characters get a tip that a mobster is betting against the current champion. They realize that the fight is fixed and bet big against that boxer. They realize too late that the tip was false and the match is fair. The mobster had his mooks spread the rumor around town so the odds shifted against the champion and the mobster bet his money on the champion. When the champion demolished the challenger the mobster won a fortune and everyone who acted on the tip was cleaned out.

He then threatened to murder the daughter of the champion Mita if he didn't throw the fight, but is stopped by Ryo Saeba, who was hired to take out Inagaki by Megumi, and who ultimately kills him with a solid gold bullet fired into his ear canal at the exact moment that Mita's final punch connected.

Throwing the Fight / int_cf840e53	comment	Tales of Dunk and Egg: In "The Mystery Knight", a hedge knight deliberately loses an easy tourney victory against a lord who's still hungover. He trained the lord when he was a boy, and plans to flatter his skill so he can enter his service again. Instead the lord doesn't even remember him and refuses to employ such an apparently inept knight. In the same novel Ser Uthor Underleaf suggests that he does this all the time. He's an incredible jouster but never wins any tourneys because he bets on himself (with long odds) until he decides to lose (and then he bets on the other guy). If he actually won, he'd become more famous, and he'd never get those long odds again. This trope backfires on him as well when he finds himself up against a genuinely dangerous opponent in his last joust. Unaware that Ser Uthor was planning to lose, some other contestants decided to take him out of the running.

Throwing the Fight / int_d4e486c7	comment	This became an issue in professional Dota 2 play in some regions, so much so that Valve Software began issuing lifetime bans from competitive play for anyone discovered engaging in match fixing. One of the first cases of this came about when someone named Alexei "Solo" Berezin betted 100$ against his own Rox.Kis team during a match against Z Rage in which his team was heavily favored to win note this was the last game of the series and the result wouldn't actually have mattered. Come the match itself, and Rox.Kis began making some really questionable plays, as though deliberately dicking around in order to let Z Rage win - which they did. Then the betting site sent a report of the match-fixing scandal to the organization and as a result, Solo received a one-year ban from his organisation, a three-year ban from his team (who eventually kicked him out entirely), and a lifetime ban from Starladder (reduced to one year after he apologised for the incident). Compared to later match-fixers, he got off pretty lightly. Another, even more controversial incident occurred when two members of Arrow Gaming, Kok Yi "ddz" Liong & Fua Hsien "Lance" Wan, bet really expensive items (Arcanas, Whaleclaw Hook, Golden Immortals, you name it) against their own team in their match against CSW, which again was a match that Arrow Gaming was heavily favored to win but would have no bearings on the standings. Come the match and the team - but particularly those two - made really questionable plays, such as intentionally pursuing against five heroes, and even teleporting right in front of them to feed even more. Once the match was over and Arrow Gaming had lost, controversy arose when organizers discovered the betting scandals, and only intensified when the team repeatedly tried to deny it and claim it was a fluke in spite of all the evidence, even arranging a fake chat to pin the blame on others. Eventually, Arrow Gaming had no choice but to apologize and yield; they were permanently banned from all Valve-sanctioned tournaments, and disbanded shortly afterwards.

Everyone in town is sure that Jesus will win and place bets on him until Satan appears and everyone sees how huge he is, so they all change their bets to Satan. Even Jesus doesn't think he can win and plans on forfeiting, until the boys tell him that there is one person in town who didn't change their bet and still believes in him, which restores his confidence. It turns out that the one person still betting on Jesus was Satan, who threw the fight (very unconvincingly) and walked off with everyone's money.

Throwing the Fight / int_daff6a21	comment	Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds: Rudger duels Yusei with their lives on the line. When Rudger realizes he may actually be in danger of losing, he flees but forces Yusei's friend Rally to take his place, with the same stakes. Not wanting to hurt Yusei, Rally loses on purpose. Rex Godwin throws the duel against his Dark Signer brother Rudger, despite having been able to win with three very powerful Trap Cards (Solemn Judgment, Divine Wrath, and Mirror Force) that he doesn't set. His reasons are that he wanted to be converted into the Dark Signers (the penalty for losing) to gain power and the ability to break the vicious cycle the conflict had caused. (In his mind, anyway.) In their first duel, Dark Glass intentionally protects his monster by allowing Yusei to attack him directly instead, losing as a result. He likely did it because he knew the villains were watching and did not want them to see all his cards and strategies. Minor example, Crow threw a duel with Leo (as in, his landlady's son, not Rua) to help the rather depressed guy regain confidence. Crow tried to throw his second duel with Jeagar, because he was feeling sorry for the guy, whose wife and son were watching. Unfortunately, Jeagar was also trying to throw the duel (he needed to lose to get his family into protective custody without simply surrendering like a coward) and lost first. Andore was shown repeatedly throwing duels in a flashback because he didn't want to hurt his opponents' feelings. Jean invites him to join his team after observing his true skills, finally giving him the motivation to win. In a later episode, it was revealed that Dragan lost his previous duel with Jack to get money for his injured father. He isn't happy about it, and when he finds out, neither is Jack.

Unfortunately, the younger brother is too obvious about it, even after Roy tells him to sell it. The Big Bad threatens the other brother and tells him that, if he loses, then his brother will be killed. Unaware, Roy initially assumes that the second brother is really good at selling the dive, but is then forced to knock him down. Tragically, the younger brother is found having seemingly hanged himself. No one is under any illusions that it was a suicide, but the sheriff is deep in the Big Bad's pocket. Before the bet, the Big Bad demonstrates the power he has in the town by ordering one of the sparring fighters to take a dive by standing up, straightening his tie, and turning his fist thumb down. At the end, the protagonist does the exact same gesture to get the Big Bad's surprise fighter (a prisoner he paid in advance) to take an obvious dive.

Throwing the Fight / int_ed6a0f94	comment	In the manga version of GX, Reggie MacKenzie neglects to activate her set Mirror Force card (or use her Swords of Revealing Light or even defend with her Seraphim Blaster) during her duel with Misawa during the tournament, which would have prevented his direct attack with Red Ogre which caused her to lose. (While it seems out-of-character for someone like Reggie to be nice to him, her reason is she simply thinks the tournament is a waste of time, so she bails on it.)

When Speed tells the Corrupt Corporate Executive who's trying to get him to throw a race about the race that inspired him to become a race car driver, the exec informs him that the victory was staged, and the race was really about one of the competitors who didn't even finish, allowing the company that made his car to run a pump-and-dump scam.

She goads Argent into accepting terms that free Cloud whether she wins or loses, then yields after the first exchange of blows, damaging her personal reputation but getting everything she wanted — including the regard of the newly-single Cloud.

He refuses on principle (and the fact that he could really use the money to support his crippled sister). After beating his opponent in a brutal match he nearly lost legitimately, his employer sent thugs after him to reclaim the prize money. They succeed in killing Hans, but not until after he'd killed or maimed all of his attackers.

Throwing the Fight / int_f6a54e75	comment	Kingdom Hearts: In Kingdom Hearts II, Setzer bribes Roxas to throw the 'underdog vs. champion' match in Twilight Town's Struggle competition. Winning caused Setzer to hand over the Champion's Belt effect+10% to all elemental resistances; throwing the match (there is no way in hell you can lose unintentionally) earns Roxas a Medal effect+1 to attack as 'thanks'. The fact that Roxas earns the plot-important Struggle Trophy following either cutscene implies that the match is purely for bragging rights, and Setzer wants to keep the title. A strange case in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories. You battle Larxene on Floor 6 after she antagonizes you over Namine, and while it's clear she's playing down to you on purpose, she's still trying to win just barely. After you beat her, Axel calls her out on it and she tries to defend herself by saying that she was trying to do this.

The Toguro Brothers then kill him.

Throwing the Fight / int_fa74198a	comment	Used repeatedly in Megalo Box due to the nature of underground boxing: Junk Dog starts the first season as a professional jobber: Despite being skilled enough to compete professionally, his debt to the mafia means his job is to go down when Nanbu tells him to, no matter how much he hates it. Part of the show is set in motion when Junk Dog has had enough with being repeatedly told "One Last Job before he can box for real", goes into business on his own, and just lays out his opponent in the first round. This gets both of them in big problems with Fujimaki, the local crime boss, and forces Nanbu to enter Joe into Megalonia for the price money. In episode 9, Fujimaki reveals that he sponsored Joe in order to get him into a fixed match in Megalonia, and Nanbu was in on it all along. Joe is initially so disheartened he plays along, until a combination of Yuri and a regretful Nanbu makes him abandon the plan and box for real. Nanbu is forced to give up his other eye to settle the score with Fujimaki. In Nomad, Chief is another jobber, albeit a freelance one. He moves from town to town, sets up a script with the ring's owner beforehand, uses his charisma and impressive moves to encourage betting in the first rounds, goads his opponent into giving him a believable blow he can sell in round four or five, and gets paid for it. He then moves on to the next town before people get suspicious. Like Junk Dog, he is also a genuinely skilled boxer, although he never went pro like he claims to his audience. Fujimaki makes another appearance in Nomad. When Bonjiri ends up having the deed to his cafe stolen, Joe visits Fujimaki to square it up, and Fujimaki asks Joe to take a dive in his ring in return. Due to his Character Development, Joe swallows his pride and goes through with it. Finally, Fujimaki offers Sachi a lot of money for him to become a jobber in his ring, like Junk Dog was in Season 1. When Joe shows up to tell Sachi not to do it, Sachi gets angry and the two end up hashing out their differences in the ring. Joe (predictably) wins, at which point Fujimaki says he wasn't serious about the offer anyway; he made it because he wanted Sachi to get insulted, understand that he wasn't really boxing because that's what he wanted to, and should go back to what he's really good at, which is mechanics and engineering.

Throwing the Fight / int_fd8221d2	comment	For bad teams in a given year, there is an existing incentive to tank in North American sports (especially if there is a really good player that will enter the league next season) since teams that perform poorly are generally awarded high draft picks (ask That Other Wiki for why this doesn't come up in European leagues). Accusations in hockey include the Pittsburgh Penguins in 1983-84 (to secure the first pick over the New Jersey Devils and get Mario Lemieux) and the Ottawa Senators in 1992-93 (for Alexandre Daigle).

They watch video of him in the game, checking the scoreboard and when the team wins, everyone is celebrating but he looks crestfallen. The team speculates that he may have agreed to throw the game but at the last minute, couldn't do it and it got him killed.
