It’s a “regular” version of the belt


It’s not a real championship fight

Actually the regular belt is the real deal, as Keith Thurman was elevated to super champion, he is force to vacate the regular belt.... One clear example is Sergio Martinez, he was elevated as super champion, and was force to vacate the WBC belt, that later was given to JCC Jr by beating the German boxer.

Most likely it ends up on ESPN+ simply because of the names Pacquiao and Matthysse bring to the table. Their past primes but their names still mean something.
