You don't don't know the terms of his contract or Canelo's for that matter it's just speculation on who DAZN will approve to fight them. You don't know for sure how the pay structure is laid out unless you have the contract in front of you. We know they approved Rolls Fielding and Jacobs for the two fighters. Only Golovkin and Kovalev are approved for Canelo at this point. As far as Canelo goes Golovkin weighed the pros and cons of fighting him and he decided he wanted the fight at Middleweight as he clearly stated. That's his decision to make and I agree with it. The man is stubborn as he showed in threatening to walk away before the rematch.
Cotto declared he would only defend his title at a catchweight. Which is what he did, essentially ducking a whole division in which he held a title. I have never in my 40 plus years of following boxing heard of any fighter say something like that. It's pretty obvious who he was targeting and that was Canelo. He had zero intention on risking his payday with Canelo by fighting Golovkin. Golovkin was the mandatory and he was supposed to get the winner of the Canelo Cotto matchup but it didn't happen because somebody gave up their title and walked away. You know all this so why are you asking??
