Goldenboy Says No Fight After Trout Requests VADA Testing For Canelo Fight

Classic case of looking for something that isn't there.

 

It doesn't matter if they're GBP fighters or not. They were part of the promotion and because they tested positive, the fight had to be cancelled.

Maybe Canelo is clean, but what if Trout testing positive a month before the fight? There goes the whole promotion. The point is that if either fighter gets caught, regardless of whether or not they're part of GBP, they will lose millions.

 

**** this ****, who the **** is Canelo fighting now then?:twisted:

 

And once again I will ask you, do you seriously believe that a credible drug testing organisation like USADA will hide positive test results just so golden boy promotions can do their event?

 

I am having a good time reading how people here still believe that just because a fighter is testing negative it means that he is clean. If a fighter is using steroids when he is not fighting but comes off them before a fight then he should still be labeled a cheater. I am not accusing any of your favorite fighters, because some of you love them more than your own family members it seems. I will however say that we do not know which fighters are clean until we do year round random drug testing on all of them, anyone who fails to see that is just trolling.

 

Well that isn't gonna happen anytime soon, so one step at a time mate.:thumbsup

 

NSAC is good enough for me..

 

By the time that happens all of the people posting on this board will most likely be dead including myself.

 

If it's in the contract, then it will be enforced. This is not the Olympics or International sporting events where the USADA voluntarily release results.

This is boxing, controlled by promoters where testing is NOT mandatory. Provisions can be set in place so that in the case of a positive or false-positive, an entire event isn't cancelled. Promoters aren't stupid. They want control and they'd negotiate for control. They have investments and they'd do anything to protect those investments.

What you fail to understand about a boxing promoter working with a drug testing company is that it's not about exposing cheats, it's about BUSINESS. promoters pay money for testing, and the USADA in this case is nothing more than a vendor. And vendors have contracts with their clients.

Once you start working in the real world, you'll start to understand.

 

Very true, What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

 

You really aren't good at this are you. USADA is a non profit organisation atschatsch

 

Dam dude you are hating hard in this thread. The fact GBP is even using extra testing when other promotional companies like tr refuse to use it should look positive on GBP. I stead, you criticize them when they wont use it for one fight when other companies never use it?

So basically you are mad because you think they lied about cleaning up the sport. Big deal, Arum has done worse. At least they are trying when others continue to ignore th problem.

 

Oh really? Then why did Golden Boy paid the USADA about 100k for testing per fight? $100,000...you read that right. That's PROFIT. Again, the USADA is the vendor in this case and golden boy is the client.

You are only partially right to say that the USADA is a non-profit organization. They are funded by government money. However, that funding is only for U.S. Olympic, Paralympic, Pan-American and ParaPan American events, but NOT FOR PROFESSIONAL BOXING. Testing for boxing events is not covered by government funding. Instead, the cost of the testing must be paid by the promoter. In this case, Golden Boy is paying the cost and any business deal where money is involved, a contract is mandatory.

Do you really think Golden Boy is pay $100K to risk losing millions? No promoter is that stupid.

 

Does anyone here know that most non-profit organizations hardly give any money to the needy people they claim to help. Most of them have such large operating budgets that most of their money goes to paying hefty salaries to their executives and towards maintaining their operations. Don't take my words for it as this is according to extensive research done by scholars.

 

I just find it very entertaining the majority of the money given to USADA is from the government yet they would risk all their credibility so they can fake drug tests results just so golden boy could save money.
