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

Not at all sure about this reporting

Very hard to believe that Cotto really isn't paying the GGG step aside fee.
There is so much circumstantial evidence, including statements from him, that would support GGG's claim, even if there isn't a written contract, that it is hard to believe he won't lose in court. But IMHO this action, no matter what Cotto says, is Roc Nation's making and they have good lawyers.

Just a little has been guy who will get knocked out in a couple days and sent into retirement. Puerto Ricans are desperate for a good fighter and they have to deal with such a diva, i feel really bad for them, they have the worst, most selfish piece of **** in the sport they have to support.

$1.1m? Yeah, you can keep that belt. Smart play.

[CounterPunching]

Cotto with the boss move.

Brilliant!!!

He paid some of the money to golovkin upfront, the sanctioning is another thing. Either that or one of these boxing sites is lying.

Did you even listen to his interview?

[KiloTeague]

The belt helped him in negotiations with Canelo.

Its also a great marketing tool.

Or do you think Cotto is the first fighter to ever have to pay sanctioning fees?

Thats awesome it helped it at some point. But at this point it doesn't help him and thats what matters bruh. It's not worth it to pay 1.1 million for that belt today.

Or do you think Cotto is the first superstar fighter to let belts go over money?

Good on ya Cotto, you tell that shower of b"§tà^ds. If more champions did that we might be over this nonsense of interim, diamond, super *****.

Would we though? Seems to me that if the apparent best fighters in their division actually fought each other they'd be no need for all these other belts.

$1.1M? Most people don't even get to earn that much money in their lifetime!

Shame on WBC, wise decision by Cotto. More boxers are starting to do the right thing.

[Slowhand]

Screwing the ABCs is more than OK, but screwing other fighters.. that belt is now vacant and should be handed to Golovkin in a little ceremony before the fight, would be nice to see Cotto and Canelo blushing and avoiding any eye contact.
