yes, I "self-identify" as having enough common sense to determine that GGG in fact, did step aside.

I can also state that 2 + 2 = 4, and I'm not even a math professor.


Here's typical cottostan reasoning:

Cotto statement: "Yes, I agreed to pay GGG the 800k to step aside".

GGG actually stepped aside. So no debate there.


Cottostans: "derrrrrrr, cotto a-side doe dont gotta pay lalalajajajajajajja"

[Chaos]

Do people actually have a problem with WBC making GGG the mandatory? Isn't that a good thing? Who cares if it bent the rules, Cotto knew that was the situation when he agreed to the 800k, so what's the point of crying about it now?

[Chaos]

By its own rules tho Golovkin should not have been allowed to even challenge for the interim title. Period. This is where Cotto is in fact right. AND in any potential litigation, this is a strong argument.

He knew all this when he agreed to the 800k though, so what difference does it make?

[ThatDude44]

If Cotto gets away with paying GGG. That will be hilarious on an epic level. Lol

Because he already agreed to pay Golovkin/K2 $800k for the step-aside deal they negotiated with Golovkin in order for the Canelo fight to be a title fight in the first place. That's what the whole fuss is about here and that's why K2 is taking legal action. He went back on his deal.

But he didn't go back on his deal because he didn't fight for the title. I don't think people understand fully. The deal has to be contingent on sone specific sort of performance, that's how contracts work. The fact that Cotto is not fighting for the belt means Golovkin no longer has to step aside and he should be elevated to full champ as per WBCs own rules, which they apparently have the discretion to choose to follow. When you sue someone for breach of contrsct, you have to shoe actual damage. And that the party breaching caused such damage. Cotto isn't the one causing the damage right now. It's the WBC.

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"

Its only a misunderstanding if you're Rican or Cotto himself

You're a fkcng re-tarrd.

[Bardock]

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.

Cotto wasn't making 40 million guaranteed nor was he making 100 million or 300 million. So there goes that logic

The WBC tries in special cases to use its power to force fights that fans want to see, even though it doesn't always work out.

They ranked Kovalev (champ in all 3 other org's) as #1 to Stevenson to try & create an undisputed champion

They also (although it was a gimmicky type of thing but it counts nonetheless) made Manny (champ in a rival org) the mandatory for Floyd's title.

The point is, when there's a big fight that fans wanna see, the WBC always reserves the right to rank another organization's champion.

If Cotto objected to that, he could have dropped the belt a long time ago when they made the winner of Golovkin-Rubio the mandatory.

AND BESIDES, ONLY A ****ING FANBOY ****TARD LIKE YOU WOULD COMPLAIN ABOUT THAT!

IN THE VAST MAJORITY OF CASES, THE *TRUE* "#1 CHALLENGER" TO ANY CHAMPION WILL USUALLY BE A CHAMPION HIMSELF IN ANOTHER ORG.

THATS WHY BOXING FANS WHO ARE ACTUALLY FANS AND NOT A BUNCH OF INTERNET TROLLS NORMALLY LOVE UNIFICATIONS AND/OR FIGHTS THAT MOVE A DIVISION IN THE DIRECTION OF HAVING AN UNDISPUTED CHAMPION
