Golovkin and Cotto are going to fight.... in court!

It will be interesting to find out what the legality of the language actually involved in the specifications of the signed agreement.

You would think Cotto would be smart enough to run the decision by his legal team, making sure he had a legal leg to stand on. If so, it can come down to specific wording and legal jargon. Otherwise, that would seem to indicate that Cotto ain't too bright.

Definitely more than Oscar's I'd venture to guess (but again, I'm no lawyer, and I don't know jack about contract law).

And if I correctly remember something I saw earlier in an article, I think it was suggested that Cotto might ask the WBC to reconsider their decision, indicating he realized it would be cheaper to pay now than drag out a case (as others have mentioned). But my brain is a little fried now, so I may not be remembering correctly, or I may be getting confused with something one of ESB's many legal experts said in one of these various threads.

But if I am sort of remembering correctly, that might indicate that Cotto has dropped the ball on this one.

I still think the heart of the situation stems from the corrupt nature of the WBC itself. Not that Cotto didn't perhaps amplify the situation. But if the WBC followed their own rules, wouldn't Cotto have had to face Golovkin immediately following the Sergio bout?

I knew I read it somewhere. I just couldn't remember if it was from a reliable source.

Did you translate that?

 

Not that I don't trust the Google translator, as I'm usually a big fanboy of all things Google - but how accurate are those things?

 

That's what I'm wondering, and for some reason I'm envisioning the scene from Seinfeld where Jerry had the deaf lip reader spy for George, and she screwed up "sleeping" with "sweeping".
