Mayweather Plans To Vacate All Of His Titles
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.”

The NBA Salary Cap Will Reach $100 Million In Three Years
Sources told ESPN.com that, based on current projections, league officials expect the salary cap to increase from its current $63.1 million figure to $67.1 million next season, $89 million in 2016-17, and $108 million in 2017-18. The jumps represent massive increases largely triggered by the influx of television money that will begin pouring in after the 2015-16 season when the NBA’s new nine-year, $24 billion TV deal kicks in.
To put it into perspective, the largest salary-cap jump in history is $7 million in one season.
Pierce Bluntly Speaks On Several NBA Players, Including His Current Teammates. (John Wall, Bradley Beal, Otto Porter, Deron Williams, Ray Allen, Lebron James, Rajan Rondo)
Just one of his quotes about one of several players he discussed . . .
“Before I got there, I looked at Deron as an MVP candidate,” Pierce said. “But I felt once we got there, that’s not what he wanted to be. He just didn’t want that.
“I think a lot of the pressure got to him sometimes. This was his first time in the national spotlight. The media in Utah is not the same as the media in New York, so that can wear on some people. I think it really affected him.”
