No they did worse refusing to even issue a mandatory giving him a pass to fight whoever he wanted. Not to mention breaking their own rules that state a fighter who moves up or down has 1 year to defend the belt and tell the WBC which belt he wants to keep. Instead the WBC let Floyd hold both the WBC 147 and WBC 154 belts hostage simulalantiously not defending either against a mandatory. Hell they made the Maidana rematch sanctioned for the WBC 154 belt even when that fight and the first Maidana fight were contracted at the welterweight limit. That's illegal by their own damn rules. But they pulled that out their azz rather then strip Floyd for going 1 year without defending the WBC 154lb belt. They broke 1 rule to break another rule just to keep Floyd happy and collect sanction fees.
Do people forget the WBC never made Floyd fight a mandatory for 4 years?
