Oh, I've heard that story before. Liston was DEEP into gambling and organized crime.

I don't know if that story is completely accurate, but I wouldn't at all be surprised.

I'm not a big fan of two-guys-beat-the-crap-out-of-each-other sports anyway, like boxing, MMA, wrestling and hockey, so I don't feel too bad that the sport is essentially dead. From a historical perspective, though, it's sad to see two of the original Big Three sports (baseball, boxing and horse racing) completely irrelevant.
