Frankie Carbo: The Hitman Who Fixed Boxing's Biggest Fights

For more than two decades, the biggest fights in professional boxing weren't decided in the ring—they were decided at a coffee shop table by a former Murder, Inc. hitman named Frankie Carbo. In this true crime sports documentary, we uncover the dark history of the "hijack economy" of boxing. Operating from the shadows, Carbo and his associates in "The Combination" controlled the world's top fighters—including Jake LaMotta, Sonny Liston, and Ike Williams—through extortion, fear, and hidden ownership. Discover how this five-time murder suspect became the unofficial commissioner of boxing, manipulating the International Boxing Club monopoly, until a single wiretapped phone call and a relentless prosecutor named Robert F. Kennedy finally brought his empire down. If you enjoy deep-dive sports history and true crime documentaries, hit subscribe for more.
