      The belt thing is overblown. If Martinez had been stripped during his inactivity and Cotto beat him down without picking up a trinket, he'd still have the position of power at the negotiating table. He would've beaten the lineal champion and could carry a PPV on his own. Who else was Canelo going to face for a big check, GGG? Not only would GGG beat Canelo down (something Oscar knows), there's no guarantee the PPV would do better numbers than facing a Cotto (probably not).

      Having the belt benefits Canelo more than it does Cotto so I could see why Oscar's upset. But as a fan, who cares? We're getting a great fight on Saturday night and that should be the focus.

        He already agreeded to pay the fee 2 months ago, he's obligated to pay since GGG already step to the side for the fight to happen.

            Oscar is a crybaby. Those fees Cotto had to pay were too high. Cotto told Oscar he could pay them. I don't see what he is crybabying about. If Canelo wins he is the WBC middleweight champ so what's Oscar's problem.

              I read that the sanctioning fee has always been about 3% of their guaranteed purse, so what gives really? Although I can sympathize with the fighters not liking having to pay fees for a title when they already give some of their purse to the suits behind them.

                    The fact Canelo does not have a belt strengthens my argument even more, they are fighting over Cottos belt. With there being no belt on the line for both fighters, its not a championship fight anymore. All the promo material is false advertising now, an actual crime, all due to Cottos unprofessionalism.

                    Honestly, you'd have to be a monkey to not understand why Oscar is mad. Never seen a person work so hard to be so ******. Sad, that your Floyd obsession means you will waste the rest of your life being ******.
