    Sickening.

    It's going to totally overshadow tomorrows final and potentially could ruin the sport.

    Sometimes it's not about the sport it's about the money. The more money they get the more they want Greed is what it come's down to imo.

    just saw it on ssn. What a tit. Trying to say he thought it was the russian mafia and was afraid he would be shot if he didn't do it. Didn't sound like he was afraid when discussing how they'd pay him the cash.

    The sport has been dying a slow death over recent years since the loss of tobacco sponsorship and lack of exciting players.
    I haven't seen the vid but if its true, Higgins is an idiot and should get a life ban.

    I thought the same myself mate. Why would he risk putting a bad chapter on his record for only 300K, when he doesn't even need it?

    Unreal news it is, former World Champion and current World No.1 agreeing to fix a match. He should definitely get a ban for that.
