Retador Azteca

I'm curious..

During "The Contender" you were posting the results of the bouts as they were televised, sometimes with a caveat about 'air date' or 'recorded'.

For the reality show currently in progress (3 bouts televised) "Retador Azteca" there are no results posted on boxrec.com

They have video of the bouts on their website. Each competitor has previous bouts registered on boxrec.

I'm wondering why this is? Because the show isn't being widely viewed and nobody knows about it? Or because of another reason? No problem if you prefer to answer offline.

As reported on BS.com, they tried to hold bouts in California that were shut down. This occured on 2/7 and was reported on 2/20.

A bout was held in Mexico and aired on 2/10 and another held in Mexico aired on 2/24. As far as I know, nobody has reported the Mexican bouts occurred without sanctioning, although it wouldnt be surprising.

They aired a USA bout on 2/17 between Suarez & Hernandez, which I believe is under investigation.

So you are saying that it is Boxrec's editorial position to wait until further information about sanctioning of these bouts becomes apparent before recording the results.

We're saying that our information from Mexico is that these fights are not pro boxing bouts but a reality TV format just about as real as BB.
