What movie is this from? (both boxers paid to dive)?

The scene is narrated and we are told that one boxer was told to dive and would be paid before the match. However, the person with the money gave it to the wrong fighter, so both boxers believed that they were being paid to dive. They danced around the ring for the first couple rounds, then they finally hit each other and fell down. After the fight, the cops found the paper bag of money in the second fighter's locker. That is all I can remember, and its pissing me off that I can't think of what movie it is from.

    Flying High is an all time classic as are the Naked Gun films but remember he was also in Scary Movie 3 and 4. His scenes in #3 were some of the highlights of the film and he was the ONLY funny character in #4. Personally I never thought the Scary Movie franchise was good enough for Leslie, he was too skilled a comedic actor for it. Yet in some way it's brand of slapstick comedy was perfect for his sense of humour. Flying High will always be his best work though. "We have to get him to a hospital." "A hospital? What is it?" "It's a big building with lots of patients but that's not important now." And "I just want to tell you both good luck, we're all counting on you." Delivered with his impeccable timing even after the plane had landed successfully. Genius. Rest In Peace, we'll miss you Leslie.

    The only boxing scene that I remember with a dive that went wrong is Pulp Fiction. Good luck on this one.
