Exactly McReggae, it is a boxing sport and not a bar brawl. Sport has evolved and it is more of science today, rather than sheer power. FM is a legend but i must admit, that pacman is also a legend despite the defeat.

Pacquiao got US $ 120 Million for being beaten for just 36 minutes and my mother has been beating me for free since I was born

Money is ready for a repeat with pacman.

I think the fans deserve a rematch and this time maybe the winner should receive 90% of the proceeds that way we'll have a real fight sio huyo upuzi ya last weekend.

Mayweather says he is going to give up all his titles/belts within two weeks. His September fight will be a non title match. His reason? Other boxers deserve a chance to win them. He is not greedy. Total bullshit!!!! Go tell it to the birds!!! If that is true, then all prostitutes in K-Street are virgins and Kenyan politicians are all honest!!!

In boxing, there is ranking. And there are people who are ENTITLED to challenge for the title at particular points in time due to their ranking. There are title contenders who have a right to challenge for the different titles and can stop Mayweather's next fight if it is not against them!!! It has been done many times in boxing. The chicken in Mayweather does not want a serious opponent to demand he fights them based on ranking and right to challenge for the title (s). He therefore decides to give up the titles/belts so that he has the freedom to choose the next opponent - even if it is a kumi kumi drinking hawker from Muthurwa!!!

Boxers give up titles for two reasons: -
1) They have retired.
2) They are scared of the entitled challenger!

Mayweather falls in the second category! He is retiring in 4 months. He cannot keep the titles till then and give them up on retirement!?? Even if he gave them up today, they will probably still be vacant come September!

As Tyson labelled him, "Scared little man!".

6. DEFENSE OF TITLE:
FOR WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS
All Champions, with the exception of the Heavyweight Champion,
shall defend their Title at least once every nine months unless
medically excused therefrom for valid cause and/or at the sole and
absolute discretion of the I.B.O. With notice, compliance with this
provision shall also require that the IBO receive a formal sanction
request, with copies of bout agreements, no less than sixty days
prior to the expiration of the nine month period within which a
defense is required.
After initially winning the Title and within a period of time stipulated
by the I.B.O., the new Champion may be required to defend his Title
in a mandatory defense against any boxer designated by the I.B.O.
in the I.B.O.’s sole and absolute discretion as it deems beneficial to
the division. A newly crowned Champion who was the mandatory
Challenger is exempt from this obligation.
During each successive NINE (9) month period after winning the
Title, the Champion at the I.B.O.’s sole and absolute discretion may
be required to defend his Title in a mandatory defense against the
leading available contender as designated by the I.B.O. in the
I.B.O.’s sole and absolute discretion as it deems beneficial to the
division. Notice shall be given to the promoters of the Champion
and mandatory challenger.
The Champion shall also be required to defend his Title in a
mandatory defense against the I.B.O. Intercontinental Champion
provided that the Intercontinental Champion has held his Title for at
least EIGHTEEN (18) months and has defended it at least three
times during that period and one of those defenses having been
against a challenger in the Top 35 of the rankings. The Heavyweight
Champion or any Champion may be excluded from this obligation at
the I.B.O.’s sole and absolute discretion.
The fact that a Champion signs a contract for a mandatory defense
of his Championship, even though that fight is against the approved
and designated Contender as stipulated above, it shall not
constitute, in any case, compliance with this regulation, unless the
mentioned Title defense effectively takes place within the periods
stipulated by the International Boxing Organization. In each
instance, and in each division, the Leading Available Contenders
shall be defined and determined solely by the I.B.O.
Champions who have been medically or otherwise excused from
defending their Title within the proscribed time will subject
themselves to a mandatory defense if the I.B.O. sanctions a contest
for an “interim” Championship. The Champion shall defend his Title
against the interim Champion in his next defense, which shall take
place within SIXTY (60) days of the expiration of his medical or
other authorized extension. The interim Champion shall be classified
as the Challenger in this mandatory contest.
