I think the line between scripted wrestling (WWE, WCW, etc) and actual sports (boxing, UFC) is very very clear. In the latter some matches may be rigged, but those are exceptions and instances of corruption. In the former, no adult truly expects them to be genuine sports competitions.
While I agree there is a bright line between the two, especially when it comes to something that's going to be televised, there is a bunch of relatively shady shit that happens lower on in the process to bad records and etc. For instance, there are boxers with hundreds of loses, where there is an unspoken agreement that they are always going to lose while making it look like a fight, if not a great one.
