19. Any possibility -- this is kind of far-fetched -- that Rubin was framed to take him out of the boxing game?

Boxing being a pretty corrupt sport, with lots of money riding on it, both legally and in assorted kickbacks/payoffs, could there have been an actual underworld conspiracy to take out somebody who was a contender who wouldn't play the game? But why not just hit him, then? Pour encourager les autres?
