Comments Thread For: WBC Prez Firm: Cotto-Canelo Winner Must Face Golovkin

65/35 I think would probably be the lowest they would take. I think the lowest they would offer to him would probably be 70/30, which I think would be fair as well.

Good Answer!!! I promise you If GGG takes that. He'll be considered a BI@tch in the boxing community... But not now because of just talk (Before a PPV Fight) and the 97K GGG Fans CRYING boycott. Cheap bastards couldn't even help GGG out when he needed them most.

Either HBO or the WBC are doing their job right, I hope its the WBC they stripped that coWARD in the past and now it looks like they're forcing either Canelo/Cotto to fight the winner or to drop the title and return to 154lbs, good on them I say!

"I promise you If GGG takes that. Saul WILL be considered a BI@tch in the boxing community if he doesn't accept."

70/30 If its at 160lbs but I'm sure Cotto/Nelo could drive themselves a tactical advantage by giving an even 50/50 split If they did that I'm sure Golovkin might entertain that idea of 155lbs.

The key words here are internal agreement. If Floyd Mayweather decides to come out of retirement to fight the winner of this fight, Sulaman will tell Golovkin that he has to wait for his title shot and then announce to the public that an internal agreement has been made. If Alvarez wins and De La Hoya decides that he wants Alvarez to fight three voluntary opponents before fighting Golovkin, Sulaiman will approve it and announce before each fight that an internal agreement has been reached. If Cotto wins and decides to do the same thing, Sulaiman will declare Cotto the Super Champion and give Golovkin the regular WBC title based on an internal agreement.

Alvarez held the WBC belt at 154 pounds for three years without ever fighting a mandatory opponent. I guess he reached an internal agreement for all of those voluntary defenses. When Julio Chavez Jr. held the WBC 160-pound title, he avoided his mandatory opponent, Sergio Martinez, for two years. I guess he had an internal agreement. Deontay Wilder is fighting his third voluntary opponent since winning the WBC heavyweight title. He must have an internal agreement, and will likely have an internal agreement for at least one more voluntary opponent before he is forced to vacate his title after refusing to fight Povetkin.

What Sulaiman is talking about is an agreement between Golovkin and the winner of the fight. GGG has a legally binding contract from the WBC. If they broke it K2 would sue them for sure.

Once the WBC announces GGG is the champ on Facebook, Twitter, and instagram we'll all know GGG is the GOAT!

I don't think the WBC is going to make them fight. Canelo's sanctioning fee is higher than GGG/Lemieux fees combined. That's a lot of money the WBC will be leaving on the table.

Yes, I think K2 got something in writing this time so if the Cotto/Canelo winner decide to fight anyone else, WBC would have no choice but to declare GGG the official belt holder.

At least Cotto admits he's not a real MW. Conversely, on fight night, Canelo is slightly heavier than GGG. If he beats Cotto and then drops the belt, lucrative rematch or no, it would look totally lame, most def not aligned with Mexico's proud boxing heritage.

But I still think Canelo will fight GGG. He can always rematch Cotto after that, maybe September next year.

there's really not much they can do, strip the winner of its belt and call them chicken, apart from that, what? call their mom's and complain?

[joesaiditstrue]

So ggg get another belt with out facing another champion

Victim blaming. Nice.
