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.
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.
According to Ryan O'Hara of ThaBoxingVoice.com, Mayweather declined to pay

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, per Chris Williams of BoxingNews24.com.
