So Golovkin beat Saunders

[HeroBando]

They can't promote someone to champion unless the belt is vacant you dumb ****, doesn't matter if it was vacant for a minute or a year, vacant is vacant.

So how long was it vacant for?

[Robbie Barrett]

So how long was it vacant for?

From the time Canelo vacated until the time they contacted Golovkin and told him he was champ. Anymore dumb questions?

No contact doesn't matter, it's a formality. It was vacant for 0s, even 0 nanoseconds, Vada couldn't tell. Ggg said gimme my belt, Canelo said ok.

Believe what you want, if it makes you feel better.

It's cause we knew the rules upfront. Canelo either takes the fight or gives up the belt to Ggg. He gave up the belt

He vacated the belt.

These were not vacant belts, the champs plain forfeited the belt to him. Felt too outgunned

Um...

Even your language indicates it was vacant.

It was a vacant belt. I can't understand how this is even a conversation.

He vacated the belt.

Yes he handed it over straight to his mando.

How long was it vacant for?

That is irrelevant. The duration doesn't matter. It was either vacant or it wasn't. In this case, it was.

This is a fairly simple concept to grasp.
