Mayweather doesnt want the title because..

[lee majors]

it would require defending it, including mandatory challengers. Definitely not Floyds style.

Mandatory challengers!?!?!?! You talking about a guy (Floyd Mayweather), who could solidify himself as a boxing legend in the eyes of many of his detractors in less than 10 days and you talking about Mandatory's? WTF is up with Boxingscene these days?

[Jim Tom]

lol at ppl saying hes scared of the top contenders in the WBA, thats hating for real, no other explanation.

but i still think he should pay the sanctioning fees, isnt it worth 25,000 (if your in floyds shoes) of a 40million pay check so u can call yourself a 2 time WW champ? he says belts collect dust but that dont make no sense to me, the belt itself is what i want more than most things connected to being world champion if i imagined myself in that position.

its not like he has to defend it incase he gets a mandatory, he can just vacate it or fight a unification (which trumps mandatorys).

If you noticed Floyd recognises the WBC belt,he always refers to it as the official belt.If Mayweather wanted a belt he would have fought Berto because Mayweather was/is the Emeritus WBC 147lbs champion.

[Hannibal Barca]

Good deal.

Anyhow, I don't even understand why we bother with these delusional fools. Scared to lose to whom exactly?

[Calilloyd]

lmao .....................

Sarcasm man. Read what I posted above that. I'm just amazed at how people will use anything to try to make Mayweather look bad. Even to the point that Mosley will still lose his title if Mayweather loses lol? The TS does not even know who Mayweather's mandatory would be I'm sure.

it would require defending it, including mandatory challengers. Definitely not Floyds style.

Hmmmm, lets look at the top 3 WBO rankings at 147 to find Pac's mandatory challenger.....

1. Kell Brook
2. Antonin Decaire
3. Rafal Jackewicz


So by your logic, if Pac fights Marg or Floyd next, then he's ducking Kell, Antonin, and Rafal, right???


lololol dumbass

[Calilloyd]

Obviously you dont know much about boxing.He has never enjoyed paying these fees,the fees aint fixed but variable i.e the more you make the more you pay.Mayweather would need to pay tonnes of cash and for what reason?For big fights they charge more than the capped $150k.Mayweather doesnt need titles he has already stated he fights for money not titles.

Sanction” means the official recognition given to a bout involving the following:

(1) A title (all championships);
(2) Mandatory contender position;
(3) Contender eliminator; or
(4) Box-off.

Single Title. An Association Champion can have only one world title in one division at the same time. If a World Champion wishes to fight for a title in another division, he must apply in writing to the Championships Committee for approval and must present a signed document undertaking that, in the event he wins the fight and obtains the other title, within five (5) days of the fight he will choose the title he wishes to retain and relinquish the other title. Failure to comply with any of these provisions is sufficient cause for the Championships Committee to withdraw recognition from him of either title or both titles.

Non-Sanctioned Bout. An Association Champion or officially recognized contender who participates in a fight without the approval or sanction of the Championships Committee may have his title or recognized status removed by the Committee Chairman.

Non-Title Bout Loss. A loss in any bout, including a non-title or non-sanctioned bout, may result in loss of the boxer’s title or contender status.

Fee Payments. The Registered Promoter who has requested or been granted sanction of a bout is responsible for payment of all sanction fees, and must submit documentation of payment to the Chairman, together with the formal application for the sanction of the fight and a copy of the contracts between the promoter and the boxers duly signed by them no later than thirty (30) days before the bout. No boxer or boxer’s agent shall have any authority to direct a promoter to pay, nor may a promoter pay, any less than the full amount of the sanction fees owed. Fees shall be determined by the Association based on the total purse owed the boxers. Fees based on the purse of both boxers must be paid. Failure to comply with any of these requirements may result in non-sanction of the contest and removal of recognition of any boxer participating in the bout. The Chairman or President may modify the requirements of this section in his sole discretion for good cause.

For world championship contests

HTML Code:
Sanctioning Fee Percentage of Purse Minimum Maximum
Champion 3% of purse $ 3,500 $ 150,000
Challenger 3% of purse $ 1,500 $ 150,000

If both fighters are recognized as champions, each is subject to the champion’s fee. If both fighters are recognized as challengers, each is subject to the challenger’s fee.

Good post. And it's not like Mayweather is the only fighter to have ever done this. This is not unprecedented. Only to the idiots delusional enough to think Mayweather is ducking mandatories out of fear to fight Mosley or Pacquaio.

[Ringthebell]

Isn't Floyd's style to make defences? In his career he has made 12 successful title defences. The last one was against Hatton in December 2007 before taking time off.

Pacquiao (for all of his titles) has made a whopping 6 defences. Before the Clottey sparring session his previous defense was the draw against Marquez in 2004. At 130 only his rematch against Marquez in 2008 was for a World Title. The rest were for the WBC International title.

Since Pac has only made half as many defences as Mayweather, what does that say about him?

What it boils down to is Mayweather telling the WBA that they can keep their worthless strap. It is the fighters that make a fight worth watching, not if some corrupt alphabet body gives it their blessing after being paid to do so.

You guys go on about how crappy the Alphabet groups are, and if Pac did it you would all be going on about he is trying to bring integrity to the sport...blah, blah, blah...since it was Mayweather, you can't handle it. Haters are just looking for a reason to hate.

[djsygo]

these threads really divide ppl who know boxing from ppl who dont know **** about boxing.

[Boss Don]

Belts collect dust....Floyd collect checks

[tredh]

The funniest part of all this PBF doesn't want to fight mandatories is that 1 person said this yesterday in another thread then all these clown ass people hop on his **** and ride that statement like they came up with that idea and act like the **** makes any sense.
