IDK, man. If Hearn's told by the BBBoC that the fight's good to go then that's the information he's going to operate on. As a moral human being the right thing to do would have been to tell Rivas and let him make up his own mind, but as a businessman trying to promote a boxing event dude ain't gonna cancel the main event of a show less he's given no choice. Way I see it it should have been the responsibility of the BBBoC to convey UKADs findings to Rivas and to involve a member of his team in the hearing regardless of what decisions were made.Comment

I don't think you gotta cancel the event necessarily.IDK, man. If Hearn's told by the BBBoC that the fight's good to go then that's the information he's going to operate on.

I do think you gotta tell Rivas & play things off from that. Thats being a moral person AND a good businessman. Eddie was being a sh^tty businessman & a sh^tty person by not telling Rivas what was going on & he f#cking knows it regardless if he ever says it on one of the 50 interviews he does each week.Comment

Nah - I'd imagine in this case it would be too late to cancel the whole event, but your headline fight would be gone and you'd be looking at refunds and all the rest.I don't think you gotta cancel the event necessarily.

Point being though it ain't Hearn who made the decision but the BBBoC on the advice of UKAD as best I can figure out... way I'm looking at it that makes it their responsibility to disseminate the information. Whatever though - someone should have told Rivas... that he went to fight without being given the best information possible to evaluate the risk borders on the criminal for my money.
Mainly I just find it absolutely appalling that UKADs dissemination policy doesn't include the opposing fighter... neither does VADAs for that matter, but I think the contractual situation is different since it's voluntary rather than mandatory so fighters paying for VADA as part of the fight contract will be informed of adverse findings whichever team they're on (not 100% how that applies to the CBP though).Last edited by Citizen Koba; 07-27-2019, 07:47 PM.Comment
