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.
