Throwing the Fight - TV Tropes

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ThrowingTheFight

Marsellus: In the fifth, your ass goes down. Say it.
Butch: In the fifth, my ass goes down.
— Pulp Fiction

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 which is Defied more often than it's played straight. Our hero decides that he's not going to be anyone's Unwitting Pawn any more, that the Only in It for the Money / Money, Dear Boy 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. Many of these ploys qualify as a Failure Gambit, though rarely sympathetically.
