When the bout ended, Alvarez ran to ringside and invited WBA-IBF champion Gennady Golovkin into the ring. The public has been hoping to see that showdown, but Yahoo Sports has learned that Golden Boy has reached an agreement with Roc Nation Sports, Cotto’s promoter, they had about the pay split over the November bout with Alvarez. It is not finalized, but Golden Boy and Roc Nation are moving toward a rematch later this year. That leaves Golovkin on the outside again. WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman said the winner would have to fight Golovkin next or be stripped, but the belt is a small trinket compared to the prize of a mega-fight.
Still, Alvarez acted interested in meeting Golovkin. “I invited him into the ring,” Alvarez said.
“Like we say in Mexico, ‘We don't [expletive] around.’ I don't fear anyone. We don't come to play in this sport [and] I fear no one in this sport.” Asked if he would fight Golovkin later this year, Alvarez said, “Right now, I will put on the gloves again.”
