Cotto knows what time it is.......

WBC is on that prime Suge Knight shit.

They was trying to charge dude a total of $1.1 million for a ****ing belt. That is ridiculous. I would try to get a refund for the step aside fee too.

Cotto and Canelo don't even need belts. They will sell fighting me. Let these fighters that need belts for their careers have them.

I can't really blame him. It's a lot of money and he knows that he's not going to defend the belt in his next fight should he win.

I'd rather see the proposed fights take place, but from his point of view..i get it.

no, they were charging $1.1 so that Cotto could go make $20 million (or more) against Canelo instead of getting his face bashed in by GGG.

The mistake Cotto made was paying the $800k to GGG in the first place. He should have just vacated the title and handed it over to GGG. Nobody watching the fight on Saturday cares one bit whether its a title fight or not.

He should have vacated right after Martinez fight.

He paid $800k so he could keep pretending to be the MW champion.

I agree with everything you said. It makes sense and I believe it's true. Why pay the fees if he knows if he wins he won't fight GGG so he gets striped anyway. If Canelo wins then Cotto has no title anyway.

No. The WBC allowed the step aside to begin with so they could get a sanctioning fee on the biggest fight in boxing. Cotto doesn't need the WBC to make $20 million. They were charging $1.1 to extort him. I agree he should've vacated but the WBC could have stripped him instead of granting him the step aside option in the first place. But because they wanted money they allowed the fight to happen.

Cotto paid the step aside money so he could get the upper hand on the Canelo fight negotiations and to get better odds to win the Mayweather lottery.

[xhiddenx87]

wasn't very clear from the begining that the WBC wanted the cotto-canelo just to get the money from them?, now everybody is surprised about the fee.

its all about the fff money.

Damn, GGG getting 800K and a free title, after canelo drops it.
