Why Golovkin has not been elevated to full champion ?

[ChampBox@PR]

Why hasnt GGg been declare the full champion? Why hasnt GGG sued the WBC and why can Canelo fight for the title ??

Is this even legal? Is GGG getting screwed by the WBC again ?

wbc wants the canelo money, so does ggg... that line about "we only care about titles" is BS, they should be after the WBC for this, but so far they dont seem to care...

Nope, Cotto refused to pay, because a win on Saturday meant a "big drama show" with GGG. So, Cotto vacated to avoid a fight with GGG. But, Canelo will win on Saturday, so Cotto was just trying to save $1.1 million in the process. No point in paying, if you're gonna lose the title, anyway....just sayin'


Big Drama Show.

if canelo is willing to pay $300,000 to fight for a title he's going to immediately vacate if he wins, you really think the WBC isn't going to accept the money?

canelo had no clue cotto wasnt going to pay and get stripped, but still if the wbc wanted to go by the rules then ggg should be fighting for the vacant title, not canelo... ggg knows this and i dont see him complaining or asking for the title that he cares so much...

It's been like two days. Smh

hahahah you guys always talk about the rules..... WBC rules, articles 1.1. 1.2, 3.8, etc all clearly state the WBC can make up the rules as they go along.

no matter what the WBC does, they are following their rules because the rules say they can do whatever they want.

thats exactly the point, they are all about the money, including ggg...

The vacant title is still on the line for Canelo if he wins.
He has 15 days after the fight to decide if he is going to honor his mandatory obligation or duck

If he vacates that would be ******, he clearly needs to go up to 160 already, I believed him and Oscar in that he can make 155 easy but seeing this pre-fight build up, it's clear he has to move up to full MW rather than MW catchweight. I mean i'm sure he can get an agreement with K2 to let him defend the title against a lesser MW, like Lee or Lemiuex, but at least a real MW, with MW size, before fighting Golovkin. Beating Cotto, a small MW, will not really make a Canelo vs GGG as enticing as it can potentially be if Canelo goes on to also beat some one like Lee or Saunders, or some other actual MW before GGG.

Or in Sulaiman's words, come to an agreement with K2/Golovkin for a step aside.

[just the facts]

The pro Mexican WBC isn't going to strip Canelo if he does or doesn't fight ggg
