Hearn isn't Besputins trainer, S&C coach or manager. Hell, he isn't even Besputin's promoter!
Was it Al Haymon's fault that Ortiz failed a PED test before a fight on a PBC show?
Would you have blamed Haymon if Tyson Fury had popped positive after fighting Wilder?
No, you wouldn't, so STFU with this nonsense.

Originally posted by Bronx2245 View PostI'm not "blaming" Eddie Hearn. Had you read my first comment, all I asked is "Why do the figfhters have to pay for PED testing?" The gentleman said because the promoters won't pay for it. The promoters or the sanctioning bodies, I don't care which, should pay for PED testing, not the fighters! NBA players don't pay for it! NFL players don't pay for it! Why does boxing have to be so backwards? Then you come on here defending this practice! This is part of the problem! Fake boxing fans, who really don't give a damn about the fighters at all! GTFOH!
I replied to a comment from you which clearly implied that Eddie Hearn should be paying for fighter's PED tests because of the problem he had with Whyte and Rivas.
That was not only biased but plain stupid. Why single out Eddie Hearn? Is it Eddie's fault that, as you just said here, the whole damned sport is backward?
Besputin is promoted by Top Rank and Butaev is promoted by Lou DiBella. Why didn't DiBella pay for the VADA testing, as it was his fighter who wanted it?
And why mention Whyte and Rivas? That problem had nothing at all to do with fighters having to pay for their own PED testsLast edited by kafkod; 01-15-2020, 03:51 PM.

My comment regarding Hearn is that he just got burned by Whyte and let's not forget Big Baby Miller. I would think he would be more cautious about PED testing after those debacles! If not for Miller, Joshua might not have got his azz whooped by Fat Andy! I would also think he would find it fishy that Besputin did not want testing and that Butaev had to pay for Besputin's tests! That seems very suspect to me! Not a good look!

Originally posted by Bronx2245 View PostThe November 30th card in Monaco was promoted by MatchRoom Sports. Eddie Hearn is in charge of MatchRoom Sports. My post was not aimed at Eddie Hearn in particular, but my concern is that Butaev had to pay for the PED testing, and he paid for Besputin's testing too! I don't care who the promoter is, or what ABC org sanctioned the fight, but in my opinion THE FIGHTERS SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR PED TESTING!

And WTF has any of that crap you wrote got to do with whether promoters or fighters or sanctioning bodies pay for the testing?
Advanced VADA testing is voluntary and has to be paid for by the fighter or fighters who request it.
Is Hearn the only promoter in boxing who doesn't pick up the bill for advanced VADA for every fighter who competes on his shows, whether they are signed with him or not?
Is there VADA advanced for every fight on Top Rank, PBC, Queensbury Promotions, K2 shows? If so, who pays for it?
You don't know the answer to those questions and you don't GAF, you're just looking for any childish excuse to take a pop at Hearn.
