Floyd Mayweather backtracks on dropping his titles

Floyd Mayweather stated that he was going to drop all of his titles after beating Manny Pacquiao. Now, unsurprisingly, he has changed his mind and scuttled a title fight in the process.

It wouldn't be a normal day in the boxing world if Floyd Mayweather wasn't going back on something he said. Today's instance has to do with his titles. After beating Manny Pacquiao on May 2nd, Floyd told reporters that he was going to relinquish all of his titles, including the WBO one he had just picked up from Manny. He stated that he was okay with his last fight (currently set for September) not being for a title, and that the younger guys deserve a shot at them.
