All this for that kind match. Disappointing to be honest.

Wouldn't say exactly disappointing. It was cagey and tight during the 12 rounds, although the judges made it very clear at the end with a 118:110 and 2 times 116:112. But yeah after all the hype and the expectations around the globe, you really expected more. Fourth round was massive for Pacquiao but he couldn't follow up. The height and reach difference between the two was crucial this time IMHO.

Oh dear...
[Source: RTHK]Floyd Mayweather Jr. has been stripped of the welterweight boxing world title he won after beating Filipino Manny Pacquiao this year for failing to comply with rules, according to the World Boxing Organization.
Mayweather, who improved to 48-0 by beating Pacquiao in May, missed a deadline by which he had to pay a US$200,000 sanctioning fee from the fight and vacate the junior middleweight title he also held.
The WBO said it is against its rules for boxers to hold world titles in multiple weight classes and that Mayweather had to indicate which weight division he would retain.
Mayweather, who finished ahead on all three scorecards of what proved to be the top-grossing prize fight of all-time, had until last Friday to advise the WBO of his position.
"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.
Mayweather, who earned over US$200 million from the fight which generated a record pay-per-view revenue in the United States of US$400 million, has two weeks to launch an appeal.
He's probably done it on purpose.
He was talking about vacating it anyway, which would let him cherry pick his last fight and finish unbeaten.
He made Millions off the fight, I dont think he gives two shits about the belt, he got plenty of other belts,
he cares more about this toys then the belts (his private plane and the exotic cars)
