    Good, I don't know why Mayweather would want to be one of the 3 WBA Welterweight champs anyway.

    It's just a way for the sanctioning bodies to get their hands in the pockets of fighters. You save thousands of dollars at least if you pass on these belts. I hope more established fighters will continue to do this. I can understand young guys fighting for them and using it to build their names, but fighters with names and credibility don't need them. These sanctioning bodies are corrupt, and this is one small step toward cleaning the sport.

    It makes a mockery out of the WBA...they can't be to happy.

    A strong statement by Floyd though, reputation and credibility weighs much more than any belt atm!

    Belts dont do nothin but collect dust. It doesnt take away from the significance of the fight though. Personally if it was me i wud want a seventh world title, but thats just me.
