Bob Arum says that there is much more drug abuse in MMA than in boxing 💪

MMA fighters get caught FAR more frequently, but boxing testing is casual at best. Respect to Crawford and Postol for testing. Have Golovkin and Brook begun testing? Or, is this another "when we get around to it" scenario, like every other time. True but mma uses usada which isn't considered competent by Pac fans

In boxing a fighter might test positive and have no repercussions from it, or testing might appear to happen but never actually take place. When fighters do get busted the punishments are miniscule, and they don't even get their win changed to a no contest much of the time. Why anyone puts faith in that shambles of a situation I don't know.

boxing is more corrupt though

Arum hasn't been to Russia lately I guess.

Hard to say if that's true or not. MMA obviously has an endemic problem as regards steroids and other PEDs, but companies like the UFC seem to be genuinely hardline when it comes to fighters testing positive. Boxing's policy just seems to be to sweep it under the carpet a lot of the time, so who knows how many fighters are getting away with what. Testing in general is just a joke though. When fighters like Joshua can get away with multiple clean tests then the system is seriously flawed. ................. :bryce:

Not just in MMA. In all sports, we had the "Let the commissions do their jobs" brigade on here a few years ago. That's the actual followers of the sport of boxing, we had the excuse makers for poppy eye testosterone pellet abusers like Pederson and heart defect pill swallowers like Pedvetkin on here. So Arum can't just point at MMA, boxing is probably far worse if we look at the stats or if every gets tested regularly. I dunno A lot of wrestlers in mma. A lot of wrestlers dope and other things especially weight cutting cheats
