Wbc sets agreement for winner of cotto/canelo to fight ggg in 2016

I think the agreement must be a little more involved than that. Both Cotto and Canelo have refused to sign it so far and to me that indicates that it is more than a simple 'Winner must fight or be stripped' kind of deal. There must be significant penalties involved for not going through with the fight. If not, why would either fighter refuse to sign it since they both claim that they would be willing to fight GGG next? There is no logical reason that a step aside deal has not already been taken care of at this point other than neither fighter really intends to fight GGG next and wants a way out that costs them very little. But if they really do intend to fight him, they should have no problems signing the agreement - no matter what the terms may be. Hop off Golovkin's nuts, Jesus Christ

Canelo beats em both. That's right son! http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20131202160812/the-house-of-anubis/images/f/fc/You_know_thats_right.gif

But if they really do intend to fight him, they should have no problems signing the agreement - no matter what the terms may be. this is where i see the problem, i really doubt both fighters(cotto-canelo) will allow anybody to dictate terms on their future (unless you are floyd)... depending on what ggg demands, he might end up getting nothing but a belt, but no ppv fight or big name on his resume... if he is only about the belts then good for him, he could actually make demands, but if he is after a big fight he will have to be careful on what he demands... its going to be fun to see what the wbc does after cotto-canelo finalize the deal... by the way it will be nice to know if gggs team actually sent the agreement to both fighters already, and to find out also what are the main stipulations ...

I think the deal is probably going to say he mus face ggg next or be stripped Probably. I wish this was public record. So that we don't drive ourselves crazy with speculation

Can't compare Apples to oranges. We mucst look at the actual language of the terms agreed to. lets say cotto signed a deal that he promises to fight ggg after he fights Canelo and pays ggg for that privilege. Failure to fight ggg after he fights Canelo results in breach of contract. Depending on the contract the courts could force cotto to fight or, more likely, make him pay for his breach. The only way cotto gets out of having to fight or pay for his breach if it becomes impossible for cotto to fight ggg. Retirement does not constitute impossibility. If cotto losses both legs In an accident then it becomes Impossble for him to perform the contract. So it's hard to legally get out of the contract unless there is a new and different agreement to rescind or modify the contract. Which as well all know here Happens in boxing everyday. Usually it involves payment of step aside money. Rematch clauses are ususally elective clauses whereby one fighter has the option to enforce a Rematch if they lose. But we must see the actual language of the clause. We really see the fighter contracts so it's hard to analyze these situations. I think the deal is probably going to say he mus face ggg next or be stripped

I think it would have to be HBO or promoter to have such contract. Only reason the WBC is involved in this is cause Cotto has the belt. The WBC cant make a contract saying "you have to such and such even if you dont have our belt." That'd be going against their promoters and network. This is just my opinion tho. Since Idk all the ins and outs. That's the difficulty in talking about all these agreements. All they do is talk. We never see all the contracts involved. So we can't know all the in and outs.

Can't cotto just retire? Imo it's like a rematch clause there have been many times were a fighter was legally obligated to do a rematch and they choose not too Can't compare Apples to oranges.

Not from vacating but from refusing to fight yes. Can't make cotto/Canelo fight but u can make them pay dearly in $$$$$$ for failure to fight. Us attorneys call that liquidated damages for breach of contract. Whether the wbc was wise enough to include such a term remains to be seen.

I dont think they can have a contract prohibiting a fighter from vacating. Then again anything in boxing goes. Lol Not from vacating but from refusing to fight yes.

unless there is a contract to the contrary I dont think they can have a contract prohibiting a fighter from vacating. Then again anything in boxing goes. Lol

Wait a minute! What happened to the step-aside fee that the WBC demanded that Cotto pay if he wasn't going to fight Golovkin after fighting Geale? Now, they claim they have an agreement? This is bulls...t! The only thing the WBC has is a promise from both camps that the winner will consider fighting GGG in their next fight. The winner of Cotto/Alvarez fight will fight a rematch against Floyd Mayweather in his next fight, likely at a 155-pound catchweight for the middleweight title. The only thing the WBC will say about it "how much is our sanctioning fee." WBC have made no announcement regarding the fight at all. They have not stated that an agreement has been reached. Whoever wrote that article is just looking for free web hits on a quiet day.

WBC SETS AGREEMENT FOR WINNER OF MIGUEL COTTO/CANELO ALVAREZ FIGHT TO FACE GENNADY GOLOVKIN IN 2016 http://i0.wp.com/www.truschoolsports.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/1421189-30420562-1600-900.jpg?fit=690%2C9999 We might get a rare moment of clarity in the sport of boxing, the middleweight division needed some great news and we finally have some. It’s been reported by Lance Pugmire of the Los Angeles Times that the world boxing council has an agreement in place for the winner of Miguel Cotto (40-4, 33 KO’s) and Canelo Alvarez (45-1-1, 32 KO’s) to fight Gennady Golovkin (33-0, 30 KO’s). so now we can figure out who is the undisputed king of the middleweight division. This is great news, however nothing is all the way finalized in regards to the Cotto/Canelo fight. In a recent article from Boxing Scene Cotto’s team confirmed that negotiations for the fight are 90% done. So once that fight gets squared away we can begin analyzing a Cotto/Golovkin or Canelo/Golovkin matchups. Significance of WBC announcement is it has deal in place with @Canelo and @RealMiguelCotto saying they***39;ll fight @GGGBoxing if they win.— Lance Pugmire (@latimespugmire) July 11, 2015 It’s some great news for the middleweight division, should the WBC hold true to their agreement then we are looking at 2 mega fights within the next 6-10 months after the Cotto/Canelo fight takes place. Gennady Golovkin and his rapidly growing fan base has longed for a “Big Drama Show” which is necessary at this point in his career. He hasn’t fought an A-level fighter in his career due in large part to his opponents fear of getting in the ring with him. Outside of maybe Keith Thurman, there’s not a fighter in the sport of boxing who deserves a mega fight as much as Golovkin. Fans and boxing aficionados want to know just how great Golovkin is and we might find out sooner than later. http://www.truschoolsports.com/2015/07/wbc-sets-agreement-for-winnerof-miguel-cottocanelo-alvarez-fight-will-face-gennady-golovkin-in-2016/ Wait a minute!

Unfortunately in boxing you can't believe something like this until you actually see it, but man if this is true it's awesome for us fans. Cotto/Canelo is a true superfight that will have lots of action and I'm glad it's happening first, as long as the winner actually does face GGG after. I think if GGG faced one of them first he would beat them and then we might not get a Cotto/Canelo fight. GGG is gonna beat whoever wins. But it's gonna be a great fight to decide who actually gets a shot at the true middleweight king in his first big money fight.

I hate agreements like that. What if the winner wins via robbery or some other boxing bs you would love that huh that's all you like to do is talk **** and gossip on something dumb you gonna hop on one of their nuts if one wins like you did provo? lol

i'll believe it when i see it, none of them would be allowed to fight ggg

Finally! We will see Cotto destroying Canelo and schooling Tripple Duck! King Cotto becoming the MW Undisputed, Linear Champion of the World! Pissing on the haters and racists alike!! #WarCotto #ThetrueMWChampion

is ggg getting step aside money? What happens if the cotto canelo winner vacates? we need answers suliman No agreement has been signed and no money has been paid. Absolutely nothing has changed since the day they started talking about this fight. Does GGG have to agree to this, or is the WBC saying f*ck you? Golovkin absolutely has to agree to this. If he is not satisfied with the proposed deal, he is under no obligation at all to accept it.
