    WBC President Jose Sulaiman, upon hearing that the bout between Floyd Mayweather and Shane Mosley will not be for Mosley’s WBA title, has announced that the WBC will offer the WBC Diamond Belt to the Mayweather-Mosley winner and be recognized as WBC Diamond world champion, being certain that if Mayweather wins he’ll proudly accept the belt. “In history, there has been only one world champion who has won the WBC Diamond Belt, the idol of the Philippines and the world Manny Pacquiao,” said Sulaiman in a statement. “The winner of Mayweather vs. Mosley also deserves to be crowned as WBC Diamond world champion.” If the WBC is not allowed to present the belt in the ring, they will do so in the locker room of the winner.

    What’s interesting about this decision is the fact that although Manny Pacquiao already holds the WBC Diamond Belt world championship at welterweight, Mayweather-Mosley will not be for an “interim” WBC Diamond Belt world championship. In essence, the WBC would be awarding the same belt and same title to another fighter in the same division.

    In a time, in the not so distant future, every single fighter will have reigning world champion of some sort !!!

    The WBC knows PBF is somewhat loyal to them. They will do anything to have him wear one of their belts.:-(

    floyd will accept that one for sure. He only likes the WBC titles. "the division titles" pretty soon it won't be if they keep making up this nonsense.

    That's not a real title. I don't think Floyd's Uncle or Father could look him in the eye if he actually decided to accept that worthless trinket.

    i think if there won't be any sanctioning fees or whatever, floydie won't complain with this offer.

    I think they're trying to force a Mayweather beating of emmanuel to happen. Can you really imagine two guys with the exact same title in the same weight division.
