    VADA is still VADA. Conor Benn was caught by the WBC testing.

    That lot really seem to have gone downhill ethics wise and it has been since leaving Sky. Real shame.

    VADA are more expensive. It's entirely up to the fighters to decide whether they pay for additional testing, and how much they are willing to spend. No promoter is going to push their fighters into additional testing if they don't want to.

    But Eddie Hearn talks as if it's coming out if Matchroom's pocket if they have additional testing. He keeps saying it costs 30/40k per fight. So surely the promotor is paying for it?

    Theoretically, you could say that the promoters pay for everything, but all the costs for a fight will ultimately come out of the purses of the headlining fighters. Especially in the PBC and Matchroom models which give the fighter more control over spending.

    I have no idea what that means.

    Is it just me or is the concentration of unlikeable boxers far higher in the women's ranks than the men? Plenty bell-ends in the men's game but lots of decent down-to-earth sorts too.

    They've some ability and get spoke of like their Prime Duran or Ali.

    All the nonsense just goes to their heads.

    You're in a sport where there are 120 people in your division ffs.

    A professional athlete failing a drugs test is a cheat - there is no defence.

    Ban them for life and clean up the sport.
