I am not even convinced there was a fight between Pac and Mayweather. I saw it, but no one has convinced me it was a fight. It was exhibition match level, that's all.
Here is the fact: Mayweather's highlight reel will suck compared to other ATG's. No punch is what he had. That removes a lot of luster right there.
He did beat Pacquiao easily, though. As usual, instead of beating his man to pieces and putting on a good show, all he did was win by the minimum margin necessary. That seems to have been his great trick. His usual mode of operation was to nearly completely shut the other guy's offense down, and then hit him as little as necessary to still win. Not too entertaining.
Historians are going to scratch their heads trying to figure out how MW sold all those PPV's. Then they will remember millions of thugs with their baseball caps on back'ards who can barely read and write, too.
