Floyd Mayweather has been stripped of the WBO welterweight title he won by beating Manny Pacquiao two months ago. 

Mayweather failed to meet the deadline last Friday for paying the $200 000 sanctioning fee required by the WBO. 

The American took the belt from Pacquiao in Las Vegas on May 2 in the richest fight in history, earning a reported $220 million. 

WBO rules require boxers to pay three percent of their purse to fight for a world title up to a maximum of $200 000.

Why are Nigerians terrified of same-sex marriage in America? by Adaobi Tricia Nwaubani
