Title belts mean nothing

pretty obvious why this is happening.

it sucks, but thats the business side

As long as he gets Garcia after this i do not see the issue.

Here's wats gonna happen. After the peterson fight, Danny Garcia is gonna vacate the WBC belt cause he has to. Matthysse as the interim champion will then fight the number 2 contender for the vacant wbc belt. That way GP will have 3 champions at 140.

It's bull**** and super shady.

Who says this was Peterson's idea? This clearly benefits Matthysse. Either way he's getting a title or a shot at Garcia. He benefits pretty well from this so let's not act like this is some corruption by GBP.

If he beats Peterson, he is still Garcia's mandatory. It would add more pressure for Garcia to fight him and ensure a title spot. If Garcia decides to pursue another belt, he'll still end up with a belt that he would win if he'd beat Peterson.

If he loses, which is very well possible, he still gets a shot at Garcia because he would be the mandatory. If Garcia wants to fight Peterson, he'll have to vacate and Matthysse gets a belt.
