And why would it be considered Hearns responsibility to inform Rivas and his team, when it was BBBoC and UKAD who made the adverse finding and the decision on whether to allow the fight? Furthermore I been reading UKAD regs today - pasted some into another post actually - and there actually is a confidentiality policy - though I'm not sure how far that extends to second parties. It's like the interviewer simply didn't get how boxing operates or the roles of the various individuals or organisations involved and then refused to let Hearn explain why his questions were kinda meaningless.
Shit, sure, I'd love to see Hearn put on the spot by someone who knew their stuff, but that dude just didn't seem to have a clue.
