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

[SchoolTheseCats]

Mayweather never won a WBO Belt till he beat Pacquiao.

The wbo just don't want Floyd to keep belt that's all there is to it they want him to vacate so can go back into HBO/top rank stable I just read rules for belt section 5 the reason they trying say Floyd should vacate is bogus they have no say so on other organizations belts just they own you can't own two wbo belts in different weight classes would have to vacate one and Floyd not wbo champ at 154 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.

i read somewhere that khan said he will be aggressive during negotiations with floyd

Pure bullocks, Khan-man can be no more aggressive than Manny could. In fact, substantially less than Manny since Manny has serious REPUTATION and had a belt.

Hoping for a unification with Brook .... that would be great!!!!!

I understand their rule about that. Imo, i think thats a 'jurisdictional' issue and honestly i dont think they should have a say about a completely different organizations belt(s).

They do not have any say about anyone else's belts, only their own. And those are their conditions for holding their title belt.

The rules are if you wbo champ in a weight class and then go win wbo title in another one you must decide which division you want to keep wbo title and vacate other wbo belt has nothing to do with another organization belt http://www.wboboxing.com/regulations/ wbo just don't want Floyd to have it to swing title back into top rank/HBO stable section 5 where you can see rules for wbo belt

Did you read the letter posted in the article? Go to the bottom of the first page of the letter that was sent to Floyd. It states "no WBO Champion may hold a non-WBO Championship in a weight class that is different from weight class of his WBO Championship"

This is also included in the regulations that you included a link for which you also quite obviously did not take the time to read.

(b) A WBO Champion who wins a non-WBO Championship in weight class that is different than the weight class in which he holds his WBO Championship must decide within ten (10) days of the non-WBO Championship which title in which weight class he will retain. No WBO Champion may hold a non-WBO Championship in a weight class that is different from the weight class of his WBO Championship.

Not my rule, and whether a fighter agrees with it or not he has to abide by it or vacate the WBO title.

Now if anyone else wants to argue the WBO regulations, could you at least read them before using them to back up your point when they don't actually do so?

People have to get over their little conspiracy theories. This is boxing, not 9-11 we are discussing.

Not at all. WBO rules state that you cannot hold a title in any other weight class from any other organization. That means Floyd must vacate his titles at 154. Rules are rules and it is nice to see an organization that actually applies they to Floyd as well as everyone else.

This rule specifically states the WBO titles. It doesnt say anything about other bodies belts. The WBOs authority is limited to only to the WBO.

This rule specifically states the WBO titles. It doesnt say anything about other bodies belts. Its not like they have authority over the WBA, WBC

Read the reply above your post as well as the WBO regulations. Then get back to me.

They do not claim any authority over any other organization's title, only their own and the conditions under which you can hold their title.

Wow, thats crazy to me. Rules are rules i guess.

[Build That Wall]

Aren't Bradley and Vargas next in line?

Bradley and Marquez are next in line, and they already fought each other.

He already had those titles before he agreed to fight manny it shouldn't of been a unification fight then and don't need to try and make it conspiracy when they automatically made Bradley vs Vargas for belt HBO/top rank fighters

[IronDanHamza]

So where does Vargas come into the picture?

You heard it here first. Mayweather wants the pacquiao rematch almost as much as Manny. First he said he would, and then he said he wouldn't. He also said his September fight would be his last. Do any of you really believe that? Floyd has the most ridiculous lavish lifestyle of any athlete in the world. He also has huge ******** expenses. He doesn't have enough to sustain his lifestyle for more than 10 years probably. Kell brook is fighting Rios as a set up for a pacquiao showdown. His promoter had the chance to fight Thurman but it seems he and bob arum are close. Pacquiao is going to be next for brook, and Floyd wont be able to resist one last payday next year with pacquiao for the undisputed welterweight championship. Still the biggest fight out there and especially if pacquiao has the one last belt mayweather needs and beats brook in a wembley stadium showdown. Pacquiao will easily beat mayweather with two arms at full strength
