P4P becomes more difficult to figure out when you have guys who could never fight each other, and who dont have common opponents..
Exactly mate, the weight classes exist to tell us who are the champions in those weight classes.

The very best fighters who win multiple world titles in multiple weight classes transcend that. Then they become the p4p stars and want to fight each other.

At this point belts and sticking to a weight division is no longer important, nobody cares about the WBO strap on the line against Cotto Pacqauio or what division they fight in, we just want them to fight!

As long as both fighters can make 144 lbs and are willing to fight that's all that matters. Who cares if its a title fight? Is the WBO belt THAT important when you've already won multiple world titles?

p4p fighters are no longer operating according to belts and classes, they've moved beyond that.
