From Nonito Donaire's FB post: NEWS BREAK: I want you guys to hear it from me first. I am NOT going to NYC for the presser this Thursday bc Rigo is backing off his agreement to VADA drug testing. Rigo's team verbally agreed to VADA testing both online and in negotiations. But now that the contract to start testing is infront of them, they are finding every excuse not to sign and delay the start of the testing. I have NOT signed my fight contract yet to fight him so I have no obligation to fight ONLY HIM. It disappoints me that top fighters these days run from everything that will hold professional boxing integrity to its highest standard. I will be looking into other opponents with my manager, Cameron Dunkin immediately.
I am as big a fan of Rigondeaux as can be, but if he doesn't agree to the testing, then **** him! I like Nonito and respect him immensely for what he is doing to clean up the sport. I hope to see this fight.
I'm amaze of how people swallow whatever **** gets posted here. I saw this thread and I called Rigo's camp, they say this is a ****ing lie. Rigo is ready to go under any test. The contract already estipulate the rules. If Nonito seriously said this we are already listening to some excuses. But I'm afraid this is another BS thread, coming from a BS poster.
Article on the other website says Hyde says they'll sign it on Wednesday so contrary what Donaire says....I'm sure he'll be in New York on Thursday. The only Flash I know of is Dwayne Wade.
Donaire is almost as big a ***** as Khan on Twitter and this is another non-story. That being said, I thought he was so courageous though that he was willing to fight guys who themselves didn't commit to drug testing? Or does that only apply to completely shot guys brought in for disgusting mismatches?
