I honestly think Jackson is going to throw the fight. Take it to the bank. WME, celebrity-obsessed as they are, have reached out to him and asked him a favour - lose to CM Punk please, so we can justify giving Punk two more PPV card fights at least, and hopefully WWE nerds tune in and we get some buys.
If Gall had lost to Punk, I wouldn't have called it a fix. Because Gall is a legit fighter with career aspirations and would not want such a blemish on his record by losing to CM Punk. Mike Jackson is a fucking journalist - he has no career aspirations and will have no reason to ever fight again after this. Who cares if he throws the fight? There's not gonna be any damage done to his future career because he isn't going to have one.
