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

[mick1303]

Ok! Do you agree GGG should take 60/40, Heck even 65/35?? And what's the lowest you would go if you represented him? But don't forget about sacrifice now pays later like Floyd did on ODH.

I think in order to get this fight at a proper weight limit (so that it would be a legitimate MW fight, not some CW sham) Golovkin's team should agree to the the money split, requested by the Cotto/Canelo, however big they will demand.

Yeah, you tell them! These guy are small! Especially Canelo - small as a peanut )))

Right, that's one miniature Mexican.

I'm sure they would, but the problem isn't money, it's Canelo doesn't want to get his ass kicked, and De La Hoya only talks like his company is about taking risk, not actually doing it.

And it's highly doubtful once the belt is vacates, Canelo will wanna fight GGG until he is far removed from his prime fighting stage.

Like I said, De La Hoya only wants Canelo to follow Floyd's path, not be different.

So ggg get another belt with out facing another champion

And whose fault is that??
Cotto and Canelo are choosing to fight for a MW World title. If they don't want to fight Golovkin after that, that's their choice if they think, as they constantly state, they are true Junior Middleweights but it doesn't change the fact that Cotto has a MW title and Canelo is challenging him for it!
Basically the Golovkin haters are whining about Golovkin being named the WBC world title holder because the current and future title holder, after the Cotto/Canelo fight, doesn't appear to want to defend it against Golovkin.
Too bad. Golovkin is completely willing to fight the top ranked middleweights. If they choose to reject such match ups, they are to blame and don't deserve to be considered the best.
The Golovkin haters constantly complain that Golovkin hasn't faced the top names in his division but when he calls them out and they run away with their tail between their legs they say Golovkin is getting accolades for nothing. The irony and contradictory nature of such a belief is glaringly obvious.

These guys are not going to be told who they are fighting. Dictating terms to them is nothing but a waste of your time.

Hypekin will refuse to give the winner a catchweight.

#takingtheeasywayout

Explain why Golovkin should consider a catchweight when a Middleweight world title is at stake? And don't give me that BS that Canelo and Cotto are too small. If they aren't true Middleweights, go back to JMW and stop posing as MWs!
People like you who think catchweights should be agreed upon by boxers who you don't like and would like to see handicapped are part of the problem with boxing.
Only in boxing can pro athletes augment the parameters and rules of a divisional world title match up to suit their liking. It's really a disgrace that there is more corruption than ever in boxing as far as rules, regulations, judges and other elements involved in a fight are concerned including ridiculous catchweight demands when there are more weight classes than there used to be in an attempt to even the playing field and allow boxers to fight at a more specific weight that fits their size more accurately.
What's next, a catchweight on a catchweight? 3 lbs weight divisions?
What a joke.

Yea, who would of thought we'd see a day, boxers just getting on their knees handing titles over.

Harsh. I really hope it doesn't come to that.

But the sport is ***********al nowadays, with promoter-broadcaster silos, personal weight divisions, inconsistent drug testing protocols, scores of titles; these become loop holes for rich fighters and their teams to exploit to their advantage, to justify strategies that skirt match ups necessary to expand viewership through history-making fights.

I could NEVER imagine Evander Holyfield deserting a title belt because he wanted to avoid the type of punishment Rid**** Bowe was going to dish out.

[bigjavi973]

They'll just rematch for the vacant 154 lbs title......

only way I see the Cotto-GGG fight if Cotto vacates the belt and wants the ggg fight anyway but at a catchweight.

[Shadoww702]

Jedi you POS LIAR!!! EACH Boxer pays a % of ALL gross funds INCLUDiNG PPV money.

So back to the question would the WBC want the $$$$ from a cotto/canelo rematch that will get another 1 million buys or ggg/Lee/Tureno 97k ppv buys.

My money is on them letting cotto/canelo keeping the belt. Wanna bet???

[Shadoww702]

Boog13man you are 100% right!!! Don't let that @ss clown lie to you. Ggg fans are just like their hero. A bunch of liars!!! 154-168 thou...

[Beercules]

Leave Cotto/Canelo alone Gennady





That belt is going straight in the garbage whoever wins.
