Didn't the WBC pull this exact stroke a few years ago to convince some other high risk low reward guy that he was guaranteed a massive payday, only for the two potential paydays to head off in other directions after they fought?
I forget who it was exactly but this same thing happened a few years ago.
Indeed. The same story has played out several times in the past and the Wbc is the worst for playing this shit. For awhile there I was convinced King and Jose shared an apartment.
Usually it is the champ that does the negotiating which Cotto's hands seem to have started and a payoff would be involved....legal of course to step aside. I see no mention of money. So they just burn the real champion who deserves the fight and his biggest payday because they know full well that most likely both men will be steered away after the fight.
Neither man should have to really and that's why they (Cotto) should drop the damn thing before they fight. They dont need it and it will be another stupid catch anyway. Why take a spoiled salad to a party. Its so freakin plastic.
