As long as the money makes sense.
Golovkin is nowhere near the star that Alvarez is, yet Cotto was easily willing to walk away from a ~$11m guarantee over the sense that he was being low-balled on the offer; a $15m guarantee, plus Cotto getting the favorable split on the upside would've likely swayed the man.
If K2 was willing to offer up an 85/15 or 80/20 split, with Golovkin taking the short end, then i see Cotto considering it (15/85 to Golovkin, with Golovkin keeping the Germany TV rights exclusively, seems reasonable).
If K2 pushes for even remote parity, Cotto tells them to go **** themselves.
