Sanctioning Bodies and Stripping of Titles?

[Rick Grimes]

and the ring title that manny pacquiao won from ricky hatton at 140! there are no more "rules." the sanctioning bodies seem to have a commission that decides what its champion should do next after reviewing his position in the sport, what fights are there for him and what fee money is there for them.

I believe Pacquiao has been stripped as ring champ at 140 he is no longer the champ on the site.

the rings rules are different. the title can only be lost in the ring or vacated due to retirement or official abandonment of the weight class...i think. either way its clear manny isn't fighting at 140 anymore.
