According to ESPN's Dan Rafael, World Boxing Organization is
set to withdraw its 147-pound belt from Floyd Mayweather due to his abuse of
laid down rules and regulations.
Floyd Mayweather who bagged the title after beating
Phillipines' boxer Manny Pacquiao refused to pay a sum of $200,000 which serves
as the santioning fee for the title. The deadline seems to have passed with the
boxer not showing any readiness to pay. Additionally, he has also refused to
give up the WBA and WBC junior middleweights titles. It shoud be noted that
boxers are not permitted by law to hold world championship in multiple classes.
According to Dan Rafael, the WBO is strongly against
breaking its rules for Mayweather as the World Boxing Council and World Boxing
Association have reportedly permitted him to. A notice has been sent to Floyd
Mayweather.
President of the WBO, Francisco "Paco" Valcarcel
told ESPN that that if Mayweather did not comply with the rules he would be
stripped if he missed the deadline on Monday. On June 27, Timothy Bradley Jr. won a unanimous decision
against Jessie Vargas to win the vacant WBO interim welterweight title in a
fight initially announced as being for the vacant full title -- until
Mayweather's change of heart. At that point it was reduced to an interim title
bout. If Mayweather is indeed stripped, Bradley will be elevated to the
organization's full title holder
