Floyd Mayweather Jr. has been stripped of the welterweight world title he won after beating Filipino Manny Pacquiao this year for failing to comply with rules, the World Boxing Organization said on Monday.<br />
<br />
Mayweather, who improved to 48-0 by beating Pacquiao in May, missed a deadline by which he had to pay a $200,000 sanctioning fee from the fight and vacate the junior middleweight title he also held, the WBO said in a statement.<br />
<br />
The WBO said it is against rules for boxers to hold world titles in multiple weight classes and that Mayweather had to indicate which weight division he would retain.<br />
<br />
Mayweather, who finished ahead on all three scorecards of what proved to be the top-grossing prize fight of all-time, had until 4:30 p.m. ET last Friday to advise the WBO of his position.<br />
<br />
"The WBO World Championship 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 WBO said in a statement.<br />
<br />
Mayweather, who earned over $200 million from the fight which generated a record pay-per-view revenue in the United States of $400 million, has two weeks to launch an appeal.

Floyd "Money" Mayweather Jr. was awarded the WBO welterweight title when he defeated Manny "Pac-Man" Pacquiao on May 2, but it was announced Friday that the 38-year-old megastar will be stripped of the championship due to a lack of compliance.<br />
ESPN.com's Dan Rafael was the first to report that the World Boxing Organization officially decided to take back its 147-pound belt from the undefeated Mayweather.<br />
<br />
According to reports, Mayweather declined to pay the $200,000 sanctioning fee for the title by the deadline. Also, he decided against vacating the WBA and WBC junior middleweight titles, which was necessary since boxers are not permitted to hold world championships in multiple weight classes.<br />
<br />
After his huge victory over Pacquiao, Mayweather initially expressed his desire to vacate the titles he won. He said:<br />
"I don't know if it will be Monday or maybe a couple weeks. I'll talk to my team and see what we need to do. Other fighters need a chance. Give other fighters a chance. I'm not greedy. I'm a world champion in two different weight classes. It's time to let other fighters fight for the belt".<br />
Mayweather ultimately had a change of heart, which led to last week's bout between Timothy Bradley and Jessie Vargas being fought with the interim WBO welterweight title on the line.<br />
Per O'Hara, Mayweather's lawyer, John R. Hornewer, said the fact that the WBO originally announced the fight as a WBO welterweight title match left a bad taste in his client's mouth:<br />
For Mr. Mayweather to pick up the paper and read that another promotional company has announced that it is staging a bout for the same WBO title that Mr. Mayweather won in the ring, currently holds and has not relinquished, was extremely disappointing for him and his team.<br />
Despite Mayweather's hard feelings, it looks as though he will have no choice other than to relinquish the belt since he has not followed the WBO's regulations.<br />
<br />
Championships don't mean much at this point in Mayweather's career since he has seen and done it all, so allowing Bradley to hold the title and others to vie for it is likely the best possible move for the WBO in terms of increasing the level of competition in the welterweight division.<br />

In a recent interview,Floyd Mayweather called Manny Pacquiao a sore loser and a coward and  further ruled out the possibility of a rematch with the Filipino next year.<br />
<br />
This comes amidst reports said Mayweather was open to a rematch to which he responded  “Yeah, but I change my mind. At this particular time, no, because he’s a sore loser and he’s a coward. If you lost, accept the loss and say, ‘Mayweather, you were the better fighter.'”<br />
He went ahead to brush off Pacquiao’s claims that his right hand injury  hampered his ability to use it adequately as mere excuses saying that ‘His left hand was fast. His right hand was fast and he was throwing them both fast and strong.’
