Comments Thread For: Floyd Mayweather, WBO at Odds Over Welterweight Title

[Pigeons]

This article is sickening. Amounts to extortion. Hopefully Haymon countersues the **** out of the WBO.

Maybe Kell Brook is a real option. He might go for the undisputed crown.

That would be a crazy year. Dominate an ATG fighter 10-2 then go on to become undisputed champion.

agreed......

IDK exactly but they stated as their rules that no WBO champ can hold "belts" in multiple weight classes

(d) No WBO Champion may hold titles in more than one Weight Division. If a WBO Champion wins a WBO Championship in a higher or lower division, the WBO Champion shall have Ten (10) Days to determine which Weight Division the WBO Champion will retain. The other Weight Division will be declared vacant.

Doesnt say anything about the other sanctioning bodies belts

Well that would make the most sense.

Why even hold the Jr MW belts? He ain't going to fight there and he hasn't fought there in 2 years.

Everyone knows he's a Welterweight.

Vacate them and let Cotto and Canelo fight for them.

So does Floyd still hold the WBO belt at 147 or what?

"Officially" he does. This response puts it more in perspective. If Floyd pays he doesn't get stripped, but he'll have to vacate the titles at 154.

If not he vacates the WBO & tells them to kick rocks.

Imo he should keep it & have a BIG fight in the UK for the Undisputed title.

My guess is he's going to wait out tonight's result.

If Cotto wins he might keep the 154 belts and possibly offer Cotto a rematch.

Worse case scenario he keeps the welterweight belts and fights Brook for the undisputed.

Atleast this is what I hope.

In my eyes now Danny Garcia is off the table the only two logical options are Cotto or Brook.
