Comments Thread For: WBC Derecognizes Cotto; Title Only At Stake For Alvarez

[Bigg Rigg]

Should it surprise anyone that only the Mexican fighter will end up with a WBC belt??

Even after saying he wasn't fighting Golovkin at 160 either LMFAO

[MDPopescu]

He can still fight Canelo at 155 for the linear title. Canelo says he is willing to face him at that weight.

No, man. Canelo fights for that belt if he comes at any weight below 160. The Ring can't do anything else but sanction.

[AP♠]

There probably mad because he didn't want to pay the sanctioning fee and not agree to a fight with Golovkin after. Financially I could see Cotto not entertaining a GGG fight with his 97k PPVs at the tail end of his career.

I'm told Cotto felt extorted by WBC because he/Roc Nation already paid $800k to GGG to step aside to allow the fight. It got to be too much.

"800k move over so I can make real money fighting a real fighter."

"Margarito was found to have illegal plaster inserts in both gloves. Subsequent examination of photos from the Cotto fight show red stains on Margarito's hand wraps that are consistent with stains on the inserts seized by the California State Athletic Commission when it suspended Margarito's boxing license for a year."

now go troll somewhere else.

Repeating a lie over an over won't make it true. Lab results showed only trace, yeah they were illegal wraps, but not plaster like you and Cotto-Nation desperately claim.

[bojangles1987]

What in the ****? What is the reasoning here?

"800k move over so I can make real money fighting a real fighter."

A smart business man would've kept the $800k up front. Pressure must've got to him.
