Rubio was the wbc interim champion. He got paid a step aside fee for the cotto-martinez fight to happen. Then, later that year, Rubio, who was still the interim champion at the time, lost the titles on the scales (vacated) and could not fight for the title but team ggg still wanted the fight since they were able to capture the title with a victory. The Rubio fight, that's when GGG became the WBC interim champion. I have no idea wtf you are talking about, because the ggg-monroe fight wasn't till a whole year later after cotto beat martinez.
