Marcellus paid Butch a lot of money to lose the fight. Butch won the fight, actually killing the opponent. Marcellus obviously lost a lot of money betting on the other guy, on what was supposed to be a sure bet. That's why Marcellus was after Butch.

What was really cool was that Butch and a partner put out the word that Butch was paid to lose the fight, thereby tipping the odds hugely in favor of the other guy - Making Butch a huge long shot. Butch then took that pay-off and bet it on himself, making tons of money off of a fight that he was paid to lose.

Why does butch kill Vincent in pulp fiction?

Bruce Willis' character, Butch, had just recently reneged on a business deal with Marcellus Wallace. Butch was supposed to fake a knock out in a boxing match fixed by Wallace. Instead, Butch planned to win the fight and get rich at the same time. He won the fight and escaped the arena before Wallace's men, Jules and Vincent, could get to him. Butch hid out overnight but, by unfortunate circumstances, he had to return to his apartment the next morning. Vincent was at the apartment waiting for him while reading a book in the bathroom and he did not hear Butch come in. Butch found Vincent's gun in the kitchen and he heard the toilet flush, so he knew that he was not alone in the apartment. When Vincent came out of the bathroom...whammo.
