Mickey Rourke's boxing opponent admits to tossing the bout for money

Mickey Rourke's boxing opponent Elliot Seymour has admitted that the whole match was indeed fixed.

While the whole world suspected how the 62-year-old year star, who had returned to the boxing ring after 20 years, knocked down Seymour, who's 33 years his junior, within two rounds, the former California Golden Gloves champion has revealed that it was all part of the deal, TMZ.com reported.

Seymour, 29, said the deal was that he would go down from a body shot in the 2nd round for 15,000 dollars, and would get 10,000 dollars up front and the rest when he got back to the U.S.

Seymour, who initially denied sham reports, added that even the punches were choreographed, and said he was coming clean now because the pressure to keep lying was getting to him.

Though Seymour thinks even Rourke was part of the plan, the Oscar nominated star's trainer has denied the fix, and said that Seymour was making things up to make money.
