    The ratings don't mean much they kept Pac a 1 after Marquez beat him saying they have to go with the official verdict but then ignored the official verdict when he lost to Bradley. I completely ignore them now.

    Pac-Marquez III -- highly controversial; maybe 55% of viewers thought Marquez won
    Pac-Bradley -- a clearly wrong decision; 95% of viewers thought Pac won

    Seems like a clear distinction to me.

    There are much better examples if you want to make that argument (Lara/Williams, Capillo/Cloud, Rios/Abrillo, etc.). I do agree that since Michael Rosenthal took over a couple of years ago and introduced a bunch of seemingly ad hoc rules and new "policies," the ratings have become much less principled/credible.

    The principle remains one rule for Pac another for everyone else.
