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

[aboutfkntime]

Where? You've posted the link to the rules, so highlight where the rule is?

Btw Golovkin isn't top 10 WBC, he's the interim champion. Other champions are barred from being RANKED in the top 10 (which btw, doesn't include champions, otherwise unifications wouldn't be able to happen), but not barred from being mandatory. It's a rookie mistake, but seriously read the rules you reference. If Wlad wanted to be mandatory, he could well request to be so. His promoter has to formally request it. Like Duva did, until she realised HBO wouldn't bankroll the purse bid...

Find it yourself you spastic, it's been that way for decades.

Why do you think the WBC don't rank Klitschko in their top10 at HW ?

Why don't they install Klitschko as mandatory to Wilder..... like they installed Golovkin as mandatory to Cotto?

Tell me why you think the WBC don't rank Klitschko in their top10 at HW ?

GB & RNS brawling over split right now. Related to Cotto not having WBC title. Contracts not yet signed either. A mess. #CottoCanelo #boxing

By the way, it's commonplace for paper between promoters and HBO to not signed until day before fight. #CottoCanelo #boxing

Yeah clearly it's a broken rule guys, it's not like the WBC had Kovalev as mandatory to Stevensons WBC belt either...oh wait!

Seriously, you guys didn't wonder why Wlad can't unify ?

Wlad = dominated his division for a DECADE

Golovkin = beat Pepe Le Pew

Golovkin will become undisputed before Klitschko, and he will break Hopkins record without facing a world-class opponent..... AND YOU DUMB CVNTS CANNOT SEE THAT HE IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURED FIGHTER?

REALLY ?

I did find the rule, and you've ducked that post like Cotto evading Golovkin (ironically)

Here it is for you:

Special Bout Sanction(s). Under special circumstances, including but not limited to as a bout involving an elite contender, a champion of another organization, a match or tournament that the WBC determines in its sole discretion would be in the best interests of boxing, or any other applicable special circumstance, the WBC may order and/or sanction any such bout, or each associated tournament bout, as either a voluntary or mandatory defense under such terms and conditions as the WBC may impose in its sole discretion, and may order that any such special bout take precedence over and occur prior to any previously designated mandatory defense

Golovkin isn't WBC top 10 at MW, so why would it matter if Wlad is ranked top 10 at WBC HW? Wlad could be made mandatory if K2 requested it from the WBC, like Duva did with Kovalev.

You don't have to be rank 1-10 to be mandatory. You can be a champion of another organisation and/or interim champion.

Why not just admit that you're wrong in this regard and move on?

There is certainly a rule that states other organization champions are not ranked in divisional rankings and the ONLY way u can even challenge for a interim title is by being ranked in the org. That's why Golovkin is the first champion to ever be ranked interim. I mean u should know this. I don't even have an issue with what they did necessarily but all u guys acting like they didn't break their own rules. Stop it. They changed the rules for whatever their reasons. And now they are changing it again by allowing Canelo to fight for a title he shouldn't he fighting for.

The WBC " reserve the right " to do whatever is in their best financial interests at that point in time..... regardless as to how it affects the sport or the fighters..... if you had been paying attention over the last few decades you may have noticed that.

Right, Klitschko has no interest in unifying, right ^^

You " fans " who support an inconsistent sanctioning organisation who has previously been convicted of bribery and corruption over a fighter who has dedicated his life to this sport are the worst.

Golovkin will become undisputed before Klitschko, and he will break Hopkins record without facing a world-class opponent..... just so long as you're happy with that ^^

I prefer real fighters.

Ok firstly lets get a few things straight here.

Other champions are barred from the WBC divisional rankings
Divisional rankings do not include champions (interim, silver etc)

There is no rule stating you need to be ranked in the top 10 to fight for any WBC title, which is exactly what I keep posting. Here it is again:

Special Bout Sanction(s). Under special circumstances, including but not limited to as a bout involving an elite contender, a champion of another organization, a match or tournament that the WBC determines in its sole discretion would be in the best interests of boxing, or any other applicable special circumstance, the WBC may order and/or sanction any such bout, or each associated tournament bout, as either a voluntary or mandatory defense under such terms and conditions as the WBC may impose in its sole discretion, and may order that any such special bout take precedence over and occur prior to any previously designated mandatory defense

This includes both the interim championship Rubio had, and the championship Cotto had.

Please, show me the rules you two keep babbling over. I can't see them anywhere

Come on, we ALL know why they change the rules to suit them.....

That's not what they did here. Smh. That's what they did in the Kovalev vs. Stevenson situatuon. Totally different. They didn't order anything. They allowed Golovkin to fight for an interim title against Rubio. Simply put, two very different situations
