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

[torosboxing75]

lmbo! Cotto's a boss! I just wish he would've gave that strap up a long time ago. I don't think he ever intended to fight GGG.

"Miguel Cotto dus naht nee tu leezen tu anybahdy an defen no beltz, Miguel Cotto ken bai hees oun beltz!" - Miguel Cotto

Now in all seriousness, man what a ****ing telenovela this sh_t is turning out to be....

[livershot73]

Don't try to change the facts. Cotto agree to the 800K and 150K since start of camp and now the wbc try to get 150k more just days before the fight? Get the fok out of here.

I agree, it sucks for Cotto that the WBC pulls this sh_t on him at the last minute...oh well, surprise, surprise...

fight will still be good with our without the WBC at stake....

Cotto advisor says paying the $800,000 step aside fee to @GGGBoxing is a matter to be determined. It is due after Saturday's fight.

In other words they need the lawyers to see if they can get away without paying it.

Belts gone and Cotto isnt wanting it back

More than likely there was a contract and it would've preceded the Cotto/Canelo contract. Aside from that, Cotto admitted in public that he was fine paying the $800k step aside fee in addition to another $125k in sanctioning fees. He rejected only the additional $175k.

“(Sulaiman) waited until the last minute to tell me the amount to put pressure on us to pay it,” Cotto said. “Including the $800,000 I had to pay for Golovkin to step aside, I would have paid $125,000. That’s a reasonable number for me."

Only the three amigos involved, just to show who´s running things inside the ring even if queen Cotto is running them outside. And for the record: my money is (literally) on Cotto, but unlike you I won´t suck his ****.

If I had to bet, I would back Canelo, but there is nothing in that fight imho.

Enjoy your elevation party.

this will be the one time i side with the WBC. i understand that they're trying to gouge cotto for money, and i don't agree with that.


the ends justify the means, howver . cotto is not the middlweight champion of the world. he beat martinez' dead body, and he's holding the championship hostage.

I don't know how you could support those lying corrupt vultures over a fighter like Miguel Cotto.

The only thing I have ever heard Cotto say on the subject is.....

" I am not a middleweight ".

I have to wonder why the WBC sanctioned the Martinez/Cotto fight ?

stand up dude fighting for the lineal MW championship at 155 lbs

No..... he is fighting Canelo, at Canelo-weight.

He obviously doesn't give a flying fat fk about the middleweight title

Cotto is a Boss, no way around it!!
