Comments Thread For: WBC Prez: Cotto Questioning Rule That Made Him Champ

What is it you don't understand? From 125K it went all the way to 1.1 million.

it's you who doesn't seem to understand .

800 k was agreed upon by Cotto and Golovkin for the latter to step aside .
it's the the 300 k sanctioning fee that Cotto refused to pay to the WBC . ( the one that supposedly jumped from 125 k )

It didnt jump from 125k. It was always 300k (3% of cottos $10 million contract). Cotto offered 125k instead of the 300k and WBC said nope......

Correct. But what you are missing is that COTTO needed the belt in order to get a better money split from Canelo. With no title to offer, this fight would have been 50-50, or maybe even 60-40 Canelo's way. The title gave Cotto the leverage to get more money, and thats why he made the step-aside deal with GGG. He figured the 800k would be worth several million in his pocket from a better split

completely forgot about that .... the split was predicated on Cotto being champion .

Some cotto fans are making it sound like the WBC pulled some number straight out their asses .
the cost of this fight was known to team cotto months ago .
