Comments Thread For: Cotto Saw Golovkin's WBC Spot as Financially Motivated

[Eastcoast]

stop playing ****** you know the rules. The only way you can have an interim champion is if there’s a champion in recess, the titlist can’t defend because he’s injured or there are some other meaningful circumstances. Those are interim championship rules... the rubio-lil'g fight shouldn't have been sanctioned as an interim title fight because since Cotto became the champion, they are supposed to eliminate the interim title.

but nope... they get those sanctioning fees for their WBC Wold, Interim, Diamond & Silver titles.

but go ahead and keep supporting multiple titles in each organization, because they went against their own rules for interim titles from the get go.

I'll ask again since you didn't understand the question - do you have a link to back up your claim? Not your garbage opinion, but an actual WBC rule listing confirming your garbage opinion.

Am I the only one who doesn't get the joke here?

So you agree with that other dumb fck that believes Cotto went through all this sht with the WBC with the sole intention of screwing over Golovkin lmaO that's what his motivation was entirely this whole time?!

If you believe that you're a fckin ****** as well

I'm u do know the difference between a mandatory and a voluntary. The Martinez fight was a voluntary for Sergio. What he's talking about is different. Golovkin was made a mandatory by an organization where he shouldn't have been ranked at all since he is technically a champion for another org. That is the WBC bending it's own rules.

No, no no my friend. Martinez had mandatory fight with Rubio since he was interim champion. But Rubio got step aside fee the same as GGG. So Martinez fought unranked opponent in Cotto. History repeating...

@WBCBoxing
russKidFlash The fact is misleading. 300k sancioning fees/step aside is not our business, could've been avoided fighting mandatory.

Could've been avoided if they hadn't made Golovin the mado, breaking their own rules.

Could've been avoided if they forced Martinez - Rubio instead of fighting unranked oponent from another division in Cotto!

I remember when everyone liked cotto and claimed he fought everyone. He was always quite popular. Now he doesn't do one thing fans want him to and he's suddenly a ducker coward trying to screw over the "next best thing". Lol. The irony. But most won't get it. Ah well, there's gonna be a lot of disappointed people on Saturday. Mainly Golovkin fans I suspect.

You are the one who doesnt understand, so let me dumb it down for you.

Lets say I have a contracted option to buy a certain house for say $1million. You want that house. So I agree to sell you my option for $100k.

But then a month later the bank finds out you are a deadbeat and wont lend you the money to buy the house. Guess what, you still owe me my $100k.......

Its not really that complicated.

Place the blame accordingly you jack ass

WTF are people talking about. Many fighters are ranked by multiple organizations. I didn't do a thorough read, but I couldn't find a WBC rule stating they can't make a mandatory out of a title holder for another belt.

Maybe others have more time to read it.

B-hop held al four titles,

If organization don't rank the best, it's immobile anyone ever unifies all the belts.

Cotto paid Rubio a step aside fee so he ok'd gain the championship in the first place.

Cotto agreed to do the same to GGG so he could wait one more fight before getting his teeth knocked in.

Now Cotto is close to having to make that choice, and suddenly he is complaining.

Please show me ONE fighter who is a champion in any major organisation and was made or allowed to be a mandatory or interim champion under another organisation... Show me one, not talking about unification. Show one where a fighter was a mandatory even though he already holds a belt as a champ with another organisation.
