Firstly Mayweather can fight whoever he wants without too much consequences from whoever the organisation is because they wouldnt even care about their own mandatory.Mayweather doesn't want the belt because he doesn't want to have to fight who the WBA or any other sanctioning body wants him to fight. Floyd doesn't want to fight the young, hungry kid who has come up through the ranks and is rated the #1 contender. Floyd only wants to fight big money fights. He can say belts only collect dust all he wants but in reality he is really saying screw mandatory title defenses. I want to fight who I want, where I want, when I want, for this amount of $$$....
All of you guys who feel more fighters should follow suit obviously don't care about the young, upcoming fighters either. How are they going to get title shots when no one wants to fight them? The system we currently have that ranks the fighters forces the champions to have to defend their belts against these challengers. I think that the sanctioning organizations need to be revamped and the ranking system obviously needs to be tweeked (how can a fighter be ranked by one organization and not ranked by another) but feel the way things are done now is good for the sport. Prizefighters fight for purses (money) but the main goal should still be to get to the top of your division and win the hardware (belts). If this is your goal you're going to make money. You can still fight other challengers that might not be your mandatories because you only have a few mandatories a year and have plenty of time to schedule big money non-mandatory showdowns.
Secondly do you really want Mayweather fighting a young mandatory right now? So if Mayweather fights Saul alvarez or Kell brook you wouldnt say anything to critise him?
Mayweather has a choice to fight for the belt or not and he has made a choice not to.Comment

They reworked out the JMM contract the day of the fight to give JMM $600k for floyd coming in over weight. Then floyd signed. Yes the fight was at 144 catchweight. That said if floyd comes in at 148 and its a title fight it makes floyd look bad and it creates unnecessary bs right before fight.How Floyd has never come in over 147. So what’s your reasoning? Beside he came in at 146 vs. JMM. That’s still not over 147, and no I’m not making excuses cuz I believe Floyd never planned on coming in at 144; but with that said the man has never come in over the WW limit. So what’s your reasoning?Comment

I have Mosley #1. He beat the #1 and sought fights with Pacquiao and Mayweather last year only to have them avoid him.Comment
