twitterLV matchmaker Gibbons fired
Wednesday, Jan. 14, 2004 | 9:46 a.m.
Sean Gibbons, a matchmaker in the Las Vegas offices of Top Rank Inc., was fired this week, only days after the company's office was raided by FBI agents.
Gibbons, who was named in a 1999 Miami Herald story as a key figure in possible fight-rigging, came to Top Rank from Oklahoma where, according to the Herald story, he asked heavyweights Andre Smiley and Mike Smith to purposely lose fights. Gibbons disputed those assertions.
FBI agents entered the Top Rank office last Tuesday evening and confiscated computers, medical records, videotape and financial documents. The details and purpose of the raid are sealed. Initial reports focused on Top Rank's bout in September between Oscar De La Hoya and Shane Mosley as being suspicious, but subsequent published reports have indicated that the fight was not the subject of the investigation.
