I think matches are fixed in IPL.
Maybe, some matches may not be fixed. But somewhere between 30-70 percent of the matches would be fixed I feel. And the sad fact is that the true perpetrators will not be caught ever. They carry the law in their pockets.
And then the fans are cricket crazy. And then there is a lot of money to be made.

Thus, we just cannot ignore the phenomena of placing foreigners in a high pedestal, ignoring match fixing allegation while following cricket. The present law and order establishment is incapable of catching the guilty. The perpetrators of match fixing have become highly sophisticated so that they are able to extinguish all evidence and 'hush up' the investigations.
It is like people used to boycott foreign products during pre-independence time and make 'bonfires of foreign clothes and books', same thing is required of IPL.
Same thing we saw how a President of BCCI was able to bypass all laws and still call the shots not only in BCCI but also in India and the entire cricketing world. His son-in-law was also able to go scot-free and may be seen in action in the future as well. He was also slapped with 'betting' charges and not 'match-fixing' charges.
People, let it be clear, match fixing is very serious. Betting is something whose outcome is not known. It is beyond the control of the parties involved in betting. But match fixing is something whom one of the parties has 'fixed' in his favour. It is the most unethical of practices. There is no meaning of watching a match whose outcome is already decided. Especially no need to watch live. It is a waste of time and resources of the audience. Better to watch the highlights later for some cricketing action like shots and 'outs'. When there is match fixing, there is no use of betting also, as one parties will lose is decided before hand.
That is the reason that few matches have been shifted to abroad so that the 'money spinning machine' can keep working uninterrupted. Abroad is beyond the law of the country and orgainzations. Also, the Indian captain is able to slap a 100 crore lawsuit against a TV network for the so-called allegations.
It is true. Facts which cannot be proved continue to remain 'allegations'. He has got the backling of the tainted President of BCCI who is a powerful and rich man and hence can go ahead with the same.
