Floyd Mayweather Stripped Of The Title He Won Against Manny Pacquiao

Not that this affects him in any way ! ... The World Boxing Organization announced due to Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather’s inability to pay a $200,000 sanctioning fee to the WBO by Friday and renounce other belts he’s won, he was stripped of his welterweight title. 

“The WBO World Champion Committee is allowed no other alternative but to cease to recognize Mr. Floyd Mayweather, Jr. as the WBO Welterweight Champion of the World and vacate his title for failing to comply with our WBO Regulations of World Championship Contests,” the organization said in a statement.

 

Mayweather holds the World Boxing Council, World Boxing Association, and Ring weltherweight championships, along with the WBC, WBA, and Ring junior middleweight championships.

In a statement to ESPN Floyd’s camp made sure to let folks know he ain’t worried about nothing.

“It’s a complete disgrace,”  CEO Leonard Ellerbe of Mayweather Promotions told ESPN.com. “Floyd will decide what, or if any, actions he will take. But in the meantime he’s enjoying a couple of hundred million he made from his last outing and this has zero impact on anything he does.

“Floyd Mayweather has a great deal of respect for each and every organization, as he has always had in his 19-year career, but he will not be dictated to by any organization or person as it relates to his decision making.”
