      Oh ok so the belt is simply an honor and is not an official "title"

            What I take from this is that the WBO and other parties who are invested heavily in this is afraid that the general public is turned off by a 4th fight between the two, and that they needed something to '****e' the fight up. They know that they marketed the 3rd fight too well; the 3rd fight was supposed to be the definitive ending to the trilogy, and a 4th fight feels like their beating a dead horse.

            Comparing this to Star Wars, the 3rd fight was the Return of the Jedi that wrapped things up; this 4th fight is The Phantom Menace that rears it's head and demands attention and your(our) moneys.

                    shut up guys!



                    pointless belt tho. eh whatever, i don't mind the idea of a trophy belt for these two as long as it can't be defended (and lol thinking about Bradley in this whole situation). you don't defend trophies, you win them and then start anew, like a sports season or something. so if this turns into an actual belt, then the idea is more of a joke.
