    From my understanding, they are technically fighting for the interim title. This meaning the winner becomes the number one contender and the champ until the true champ returns.
    This is why interim titles were made in the first place. To have a champion until the true champ returns.

    True, but how long can the true champ be out? It's been more than a year since Thurman has seen action and he cancelled his May fight...

    I guess that depends on their rules. Them being the WBA, who are notorious for making up **** as they go along.
    I wouldn't hold my breath on Thurman facing the winner.
    And most likely Matthysse/Pacquiao will go down as a "true" WBA belt holder.
