There are always negotiations before a fight - when Leonard fought Hagler he held out for a larger ring. The types of gloves worn was a big topic for the recent Morales - Pacquiao fight. Like Cerek said, Ali just outmanuevered Foreman before the fight had even started.

If you want a scam, check out Ali's rematch with Sonny Liston. Phantom punch or not? Liston paid to take a dive or just not into the fight? He was heavily tied to the mob and later died of an overdose (or was he killed?).
