Boxing promoter avoids prison after fight fixing

A former manager of Oscar de la Hoya was sentenced on Monday to three years probation, including six months of home detention, after pleading guilty to fixing fights and trying to bribe a federal prosecutor and judge. Robert Mittleman, who briefly managed De la Hoya when the fighter turned pro after the 1992 Olympics, pleaded guilty earlier this year to two counts of sports bribery and one count of bribery of a public official.
