The May 3rd contest between Floyd Mayweather Jr and Marcos Maidana has been given the ultimate upgrade by the collective sanctioning bodies as the pair will now contest the brand new ‘Vibranium’ title.
Vibranium is the rarest metal known to man, having been first deposited on Earth by a meteorite approximately 10,000 years ago in what is now the small African country of Wakanda. The ultra-resilient alloy changes hands for as much as $250,000 per gram and can only be purchased by agreement with the ruling Wakandan tribe, the Vibuntu.
Reports claim that securing enough Vibranium to fashion the belt’s middle was made even more difficult after a leaked document containing Mayweather’s purse demands for the contest, which include a Vibranium plated Bugatti, forced prices to an all-time high.
A delegation from each of the major sanctioning bodies had to travel to Wakanda to provide personal assurances to Vibuntun elders that American judge CJ Ross would never again be put in the position of having to score a professional boxing contest.
