After defeating Manny Pacquiao via unanimous decision in a welterweight title unification bout Saturday at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, Mayweather (48-0, 26 KOs) casually mentioned he would vacate the world titles he currently holds on Monday. Mayweather, 38, entered Saturday with two titles already at 147 pounds and two more at 154 pounds.

Pressed on why he would willingly forfeit the titles, Mayweather said he wanted to give other athletes a chance to hold one.

“I don’t know if it will be Monday or maybe a couple weeks,” Mayweather said. “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.”
