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

[bigjavi973]

Whore.

He enjoyed the skype show, so everyones a winner.

hahahahahahahahahahaha

[texasboi15]

The wbc finally rated the number one guy correctly. You should be pointing your finger at the multiple errors Cotto has made. Instead all of you want to blame someone else for this fiasco when the real culprit is in front of you. But you all hate ggg so you have to blame an organization who violated its own ****** rule and finally did the right thing. Makes sense. Only on here.

You sound fckin ******ed you clown fck

You admit the WBC fcked up FIRST but it's not their fault..?!

BWaHAhahahaahahaHAHahaahahahahaHAhahaHAhaha!!!

that's the issue there.

There's absolutely no issue and no misunderstanding. WBC's official governing documents say that sanction fees for the boxers are 3% of all gross proceeds
Source - Section 7.1b

Here's WBC's answer to Cotto:
"The WBC typically charges 3% of the fighter purse but, Sulaiman said, because Cotto’s take is so large, the organization would agree to cap the fee, at $300,000. Cotto balked."

Cotto's guaranteed 10m + PPV proceeds. WBC capped their fee at $300k, which was actually doing him a favor.

All he did was literally say "woah woah I didn't realize that when I agreed to pay Gennady, I have to.. well.. pay Gennady. Can WBC lower my fee? Ah screw it, I'll either lose the belt or vacate anyway"

I knew I read it somewhere there was a limit of 3%. Also thought there was a limit of $300,000, just couldn't recall where. Cotto knew about this and pulled a fast one.

The issue is that WBC knew Cotto's position on the matter WELL AHEAD OF TIME!

[The Collector]

I tried to tell everyone this 2 days ago.....

Right, I'm gonna say it..... K2 bribed the WBC.

The reason why the WBC do not recognise Wladimir Klitschko in their top 10 at heavyweight..... is because it is against their rules to recognize the WBA champion.

So why have they suddenly decided to.....
1) recognise Golovkin
2) install him as mandatory
3) install him as IMMEDIATE mandatory
3) Proudly announce to the world that Golovkin is the WBC mandatory
4) Proudly announce to the world that they will not allow a catchweight (wtf?) why on earth would they suddenly decide to issue a press release confirming those details (wtf?)
5) Proudly announce to the world that the winner will be stripped if Golovkin refuses a catchweight and the fight falls over

Why would they have taken it upon themselves to issue all of those press releases.

They have laid out the red-carpet for Golovkin, and have removed all obstacles for him..... despite it being blatantly against their rules.

Happy that Cotto is not falling for this bull****, and proud that he is not allowing himself to be used as a stepping stone by that hypejob.

Once again...... I am absolutely positive that Golovkin can fight BOTH Canelo AND Cotto if he wants to..... he just has to be a man of his word and accept a reasonable catchweight from the A-side.

He said that he could do it.

Agreed with pretty much everything you said, but I think more than K2 bribing the WBC, is HBO trying to cash on GGG.

They have put a lot of effort, time and $$$ into building GGG, don't know how many fight he's being in HBO already. When you see the type of opponents he has faced, and the type of opponents they're keeping him away from, it's pretty clear. Just listen to Max Kellerman when calling his fights and you can notice the agenda behind it. But this is nothing new, it happens all the time. The thing is that GGG is 34 yrs old, hardly speak the language, the MW is crazy weak w/ no big names other than, you guessed it, Cotto and Canelo. Also, you add GGG's 1st PPV disaster and now you have Ken Hershman being the EX-President of HBO Sports. Funny new ppl in the sport arguing they cashing on GGG, he sold out MSG...lol...the real money is in PPV sales, this is why Floyd, Manny and ODH had some much power. Cotto has sold out MSG many times and have a country behind him and can't compare w/ the Floys, ODH or Manny.

Now, out of the options (Cotto or Canelo) Canelo is the most attractive, young, the biggest following in the sport, but Canelo said not yet, then Cotto was like you'll need to pay me huge amount of $$$ if you want me to fight him. So, now the best option is Canelo...win the belt, pressure GGG @ 155, if not drop it and let GGG be the champ, and pray for Froch or Chavez Jr fights him....It's an agenda of HBO and WBC is part of it!

Dude yu keep posting the same ****** pic
GET over it bro

[aboutfkntime]

Sanctioning fees were never a problem before until Cotto has to fight GGG next.
He is scared of fighting GGG

They just sent him a bill for 1.1mil

Only a casual fan would support a corrupt sanctioning body over a fighter.

You are dreaming if you think the WBC took 3% off Mayweather.

They will and have changed/ignored their rules, whenever it suits them.

Mayweather negotiated a flat-rate, just like he did with everybody else.
