    Don't put words into my mouth, he asked a question and I answered. The WBC has started going in the right direction with partnering with VADA but it still has a ways to go and obviously hasn't been implemented fully.

        Ironing out details in contracts has nothing to do with A side. You have Al Haymon on one side, Oleg Herman on Golovkins side, two promoters and two camps. Nothing is ever easy especially when a Haymon fighter is involved.

        What's Pascal got to do with this?
        To point out Abel Sanchez doesn't play around when it comes to that, just having the reputation of memo was enough for him to turn down paydays, he's said numerous times his reputation and his legacy is not around a single fighter and it's not worth it to him to have his reputation ruined by one fighters actions.

          Other fighters don't have problems ironing out contracts, the fight has been signed since early February, what can they disagree about that would delay them signing the paperwork for so long?

            You want to go in circles? Didn't I answer that? The state commissions have always done the drug testing. If the fighters agree to additional testing and pay for it then there is. The WBC is now going forward with VADA testing though, which as pointed out by OP was just implemented last month (although there is conflicting information on their website, unsurprisingly).

            Always so late? Isn't this only his second time doing vada? What's annoying here is posters making huge jumps in conclusions without having all the data, making assumptions and pointing fingers without knowing the details.

              There have been numerous times where additional testing was argued by both sides and either took a while to figure out or didn't happen at all (Hopkins vs Pascal, Peter Quillin vs Winky Wright, etc).

              The point is that you're making an assumption without knowing anything. All you're doing here is saying vada testing begins, therefore Golovkin is guilty. There is a whole lot of data missing to make that link probable.

                we all know the reason you are posting this......

                  You keep saying it was delayed as if that's a fact, what was delayed? Was VADA ready to go and agreed by both sides and paid for only for Golovkin to say, nah, not ready yet hold up? No that didn't happen? Then what is this delay you speak of? Is there documentation that shows when/where VADA is to be implemented and Golovkins side held it up? No? Hmm so what specifically shows that Golovkin himself delayed testing?
                  cmon bro, you been around here long enough to know that with a certain handful of posters the only thing that matters is that GGG is not black, therefore OF COURSE its his fault lol

                    Yea because he isn't black. Just like Kovalev is a racist and I call him a racist but still have him #1 on my p4p list. You sound ******.

                      You're saying both fights Golovkin and his opponent didn't agree to testing before signing the fight and took them until the last month to agree?

                      No i'm saying the testing being delayed is more than likely intentional by Golovkin and a good reason for that is PEDs.
