Comments Thread For: Mayweather vs. WBO: Letters Exchanged, Extension Set

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Floyd Mayweather Jr. was granted an extension by the World Boxing Organization to hold on to their WBO welterweight title. Mayweather unified the WBO/WBC/WBA titles when he won a twelve round decision over Manny Pacquiao last month at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

After the fight, Mayweather told press members that he planned to vacate his world titles (including his WBC/WBA titles at junior middleweight). So the WBO sanctioned this month's welterweight fight between Tim Bradley and Jessie Vargas for the vacant WBO crown - but then Mayweather's lawyer came forward and told the sanctioning body that Floyd had yet to vacate his title.

So it seems like Mayweather wants to keep the belt.

Interesting.

If he keeps it I think Floyd vs Kell is a lock

Agreed. Why else would there be an extension. Mayweather probaby meant he would drop the belts after he retired

Mayweather vs Brook. Thank You WBO from sparing us from Mayweather vs Khan.

Certainly looks like it's leaning that way. I'd love it.
