Why does beating Andre Berto earn you a Mayweather fight?

[Tha_Greatest]

Funny, considering how many people said Floyd was ducking Guerrero and would never fight him.

probably you thought that only

It's to do with the fact both of them were expecting to lose so in effect it's a big win they put them near the top of the division.

Berto is the gatekeeper to Mayweather!

Who knows but because The Ghost beat Berto in his last fight, didn't he become the mandatory for Floyd's WBC welterweight title?

Surely that's the reason?

I mean who else really is there to fight at 147 that's available?

He aint lieing.a good ammount of ppl said that when floyd mentioned alexander

Guerrero was already Floyd's WBC mandatory opponent before he fought Berto. Guerrero beating Berto was just frosting on the cake. He already had the Maweather fight in the bag because he was the WBC regular welterweight champ and Floyd was the WBC superchamp at welterweight. Floyd loves to win the WBC titles for some reason. That is why Floyd fought Ortiz earlier. There is nothing special about beating Berto that gets a fighter a shot at Floyd. It's that WBC belt that Floyd loves.

Simple question.

Who has Berto beat to have this kind of effect? Berto is the perfect recent example of a paper champion.

Thats normally the type of fighters Floyd fights so why not?

Zab Judah
Baldomir
Ortiz

Well considering Top Rank, Golden Boy/Al Haymon beef what other options does he have @ 147? I thought it was common sense.
