Whats up with the stars on boxrec?

When a fighters next fight is listed it often has X/5 gold stars displayed, what is this all about?

Can you elaborate? I have not seen any stars or x 5.

Screen shot or link would be appreciated.

Maybe theyre rating how big the fight is or theyre rating how certain the fight is of happening

They are just rating the fight based on the importance and the fighter's records.

Probably this one should be 5 stars.

It's actually a nice way to spot check good fights you may have missed.

That fight is 4 stars, but Mundine gets 5, it make no sense!

Like anything else on boxrec it's done by a computer program which rewards things based on opponents records, ko's, level of competition.

It's not meant to be taken that seriously. It's just a broad view of what's going on.

You see one or two stars, and you can pretty much guarantee it's a fight of no consequence.
