Can Someobdy Explain The Joshua Clottey Situation?

[RoyJonesJr494]

Joshua Clottey said he would not take a step aside fee. Bob Arum said he wouldnt put together a cotto cintron fight unless cintron dropped the belt. now his fighter {margarito} is fighting cintron for the title? can someone explain this?

If clottey wont step aside and hes the mandatory, how can this happen unless the ibf granted cintron a pass

Its the IBF, somebody got paid either the ibf or clottey.

Heres the situation: Cintron's mandatory challenger is Clottey. Cintron has to defend against his mandatory challenger by Oct 2008. If he doesnt he's stripped. That allows Cintron room to defend against other fighters that he desires, in this case Margarito. Now, Clottey can either wait for his title opportunity or entertain other fights in the interim period. I hope he does the latter. Just my 2 cents. I know boxing.

Now that I think about it Cotto could have fought Cintron on April 12th with Marg-Clottey being the undercard!
