Pacquiao is defending super champion, insists Gibbon

Pacquiao became the WBA super champ after outpointing Keith Thurman in July 2019. However, he lost the title without throwing a punch after the sanctioning body relegated him to "champion in recess" after the pandemic forced him to inactivity.“We’re going in as the ‘super’ champion,” Gibbons, MP Promotions chief, said in Boxing Scene.

Gibbons has repeatedly questioned the WBA's decision to strip Pacquiao of the title, citing that most boxers have been rendered inactive due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It didn't happen to Thurman, who got sidelined by a host of injuries for nearly two years. Ironically, Pacquiao has to pay the WBA $150,000 to sanction the title fight against Ugas. The amount will be taken off his $5-million purse as indicated on his Nevada State Athletic Commission contract.
