A few questions about the WBC light heavyweight title?

Dawson was stripped because he wanted to fight Antonio Tarver. It was a much more lucrative fight for him than fighting the mandatory challenger the WBC wanted him to fight, so they stripped him for refusing. I'm not sure why there is an interim champion at the moment, but considering the WBC will give out a belt for anything these days there probably isn't a legitimate reason, it just happened so they could make more money off of somebody else besides their regular champion.
