Not only was Cotto stripped of his WBC belt, he was also stripped of the lineal world championship. Apparently there was a dispute over the sanctioning fee. Alvarez agreed to pay $300k, where as Cotto offered $125k.

Cotto was upset by the decision, so he opted out of the post fight interview and news conference. 

Jayz of Roc Nation Sports gave Cotto some words of encouragement and advised the ex champ that he had a great fight despite his lost.
