Why is the ring belt not on the line???

I heard the ring belt is not on the line for Pac/Mayweather
What the hell is it good for if not this fight
******ed


Are they intentionally trying to discredit themselves?

 

Well, these two guys are clearly the two best in the division, it should at least be an interim belt or something to establish some order. Then the winner takes on Berto/Mosely winner to determine ring belt

If the belt is vacant and they don't make it available for the two best fighters, how and when will they put it on the line?

 

Ahhhh


That makes sense even though I don't agree with Shane being #1 over Floyd I don't know how that's possible. I guess with ring you have to beat the #1 guy to take his spot and that might not be a bad thing I suppose.

Well, maybe they're on to something even if people don't really give a **** one way or the other. They just wanna see Pac/Mayweather because everyone knows they're the best two

The winner of Pac/Mayweather is clearly the top welterweight

 

And why doesn't Shane hold the belt? because he didn't beat Floyd?
cuz Floyd had it before he retired right? then why can't he reclaim it? He's still better than Mosely

 

Ya, I'm just trying to figure out what their system is here
I guess if it was Mayweather/Mosely, the belt would be at stake even though it's not lineal?
