If this was the WBC or the WBA you know that they would have approved Floyd. Just because of the money and attention he would bring them.
Any unification bout will take priority to a mandatory defense.
Now that is if it is approved by the championship committee first. Which there shouldn't be any reason why it should be declined since Alexander is clearly in line with the championship rules laid out by the IBF. So long as some sort of agreement is made for the winner of Mayweather/Alexander to either fight Brook or vacate, they should be able to unify.

At last some common sense prevails if Alexander vacates then so be it - I was looking at the ratings Brook is no1 there is no No2 so for the vacant title Brook most likely will have to face Zaveck or Jackiwicz either way he beats all comers. Also Looking at the ratings I can't believe Matthew Hatton is in the top 15 definitely does not deserve to be there - so come on Devon grow some balls and honour your contract.
