WBC Gives Mayweather Emeritus Status

[Mr. David]

isnt emeritus the same thing vitali got? allows former champions to fight for the title when they want or something??

Yes, it means he can un-retire and immediately become the top challenger for the title.

Unless, of course, the WBC has already made someone else go through two eliminator bouts for the mandatory status. Gotta love the V.Klitschko-Maskaev-Peter mess.

Why is that?

He's had 1 fight at LMW so he's hardly earned it. He's also clearly not retired as it says he's keeping the WW title, so it makes no sense at all.
