Comments Thread For: Cotto Jabs The WBC, Tells De La Hoya To Pay $1.1 Million

[icha]

Because he payed what the WBC told him to pay for their sanctioning fee, I guess.

Canelo may not be interested in the MW title, but Oscar is.

Saul still not a real middleweight doe. SMH.

so thats enough to get a fight for a vacated MW belt?
canelo fighting for the vacated MW belt instead of GGG..
if GGG really cares about the belts like he said, then he sould go after the WBC for this, we will see what happens in the next days...

[Don Pichardo]

Greed, greed?
Do you even begin to understand how many terms Canelo had to accept to make this fight happen with this worthless diva Cotto?
Cotto has done literally absolutely nothing to suggest he should be earning the lions share of profits, talk about hypocritical.

I don't. Care to enlighten me about the terms Canelo had to agree to.

Exactly, and it makes perfect sense for Cotto. Either he loses to Canelo, or he wins and gets stripped for not fighting GGG next. Either way he loses the title, so why pay the $300k? The $800k was a different story because that allowed him to have the title and gain leverage over Canelo in the negotiations. Im sure the difference in money split is likely several million dollars, so the $800k was money well spent.

Hmm in this vid he seems clear that he is keeping the whole $1.1mill.

well technically the step-aside deal would have been executed between Roc and K2, so its possible Roc paid it and Cotto is now stiffing Roc.


Either way, if the step-aside deal is breached, then 2 things would happen:

1. No WBC title would be on the line on Saturday for EITHER fighter

2. K2 would sue Roc for breach of the step-aside agreement

If 3G gets no money and Nelo wins but drops the belt I well laugh my **** off

Las Vegas - As previously reported, Golden Boy Promotions President Oscar De La Hoya was not a happy camper when he found out Tuesday morning that Miguel Cotto had dropped the WBC middleweight championship.

This coming Saturday night, De La Hoya's star fighter, Saul "Canelo" Alvarez, will face Cotto in the main event of an HBO Pay-Per-View card from the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino.

According to Cotto, there was a serious disagreement with World Boxing Council over the involved sanctioning fees.

I don't need belts. I have enough belts in my house and with $1.1 million dollars I can buy any belt I want and I can be the champion of whatever I want in my house

and why would the wbc wait so long for the step aside money? Also how is it shameful on cotto? Canelo will still be the champ if he wins right

Sulaiman confirmed that the sanction had asked Cotto was $ 300,000 , fee had been agreed not to force the Puerto Rican to pay three percent of his purse as indicated by the rules.
According to sources payment Gennady Golovkin , acting monarch, to wait the opportunity was $ 800,000 , although the agreement was a good faith agreement between promoters.

Cotto is not obligated to pay a dime.

WEIGHT: Cotto in at 153 and Canelo at 157 at this time.

If I didn't think I was going to win, I wouldn't pay either!
