But it's still legal, no? That's my point. I'm not saying it's good, just that it's an entirely different beast from illegal conduct. US elections have always been rigged (see: legally required electoral college) but they've never been "stolen"/"illegitimate" AFAIK.

No. It’s illegal to fix a sanctioned boxing match. Both in the sense of being against the rules of the entity putting on the match, and in the sense of violating the law.

Wrestling is a different beast but boxing is heavily regulated in the US

Is this true even if there is no betting/gambling/etc. on the match?

You can rig a game of monopoly, you can rig a jury. The act of something being rigged is separate from it being legal. Sometimes it is both, sometimes it is not.
