Espn: Golovkin To Sue Cotto

[SilverMiles]

Yeah GGG fans are fools. Its all about money

GGG is in the position to get the money and the title. What fool would leave $800,000 on the table that was promised to him.

This whole saga has really exposed a lot of you.

[bigjavi973]

oh no??

Last month: I will pay GGG $800k

Today: I wont pay GGG $800k

you got inside, detailed info on when that payment was supposed to be made???

[techliam]

He just wants the belt doe

Why would he turn down 800k, if he knows he's going to get a shot at the belt anyway? What boxer doesn't want money, especially for doing nothing at all? I don't see how accepting a step aside agreement of 800k (knowing you have a shot at the belt afterwards) is not compatibile with wanting the belts? Especially as Canelo has a good chance of winning it...

exposed as what?

With all the "GGG has a dream to unify all the titles" crap im saying that it was never about the title and that its always been about the money.

[Jubei]

How biased fanboys get exposed is really funny to see.

How ******ed can you be that you treat your beloved sport like that?

[PeasantCrusha]

yeah, moved up and fought Yuri Foreman and cripple Martinez. A real murderers row......lol

Still better than anyone on GGGs resume: A real murderers row

The step aside deal was a prerequisite for Cotto-Canelo to be negotiated as a WBC title fight. Suilman was quite public with that a long time ago.......


and no, I dont know "when" the payment would have been made. My guess is after the fight when Cotto has $20 mil or more liquid

[-PBP-]

As a guy that's pro-fighters and grew sick and tired of fighters being abused by promoters and networks, I applaud the moves Cotto has made:

1. Ended his TR contract on good terms and landed the Mayweather fight.

2. Stayed clear of network deals and fought his next fight on ShowTime

3. Returned to TR and agreed to a Martinez fight under the condition he gets an easy tuneup on HBO

4. Created a bidding war and used Canelo to get a solid deal in the Martinez fight

5. Wins the lineal title and becomes the first PR fighter to win titles in 4 weight classes

6. Uses the WBC belt to secure the best deal possible for another megafight

7. Drops the title and tells the WBC like fools

Cotto is a king playing with pawns. I love it.

well, its probably tough building a resume when chumps errr champs would rather vacate than face the guy.........

So stop speculating then. Assuming too much isn't a good thing. Let the things happen instead of having wishful thinking.
