After enough time passes people will smarten up and see the fight for what it was, a competitive, close fight with a clear winner: Mayweather. Just like against Cotto who imo made it a much tougher and closer fight. The only ones that will continue to complain about this fight are the die-hard basement dwelling haters. That's all.
The "robbery" complaints will die down just like the Cotto fight

cotto fought a better fight but he fought a better mayweather that night, he landed more clean shots no doubt.Comment

This was nothing like the cotto fight at all.
Maidana was landing on Floyd all night but getting caught coming in. Most play-by-plays online seem to be scoring a draw. I hate Floyd so I guess my own score doesn't matter.
On the other hand Cotto wasn't landing at all, he was mystified by the shoulder roll and punching Floyd on the gloves and arm. That fight wasn't even close.Comment

Any fight that is close has people crying robbery. Being Mayweather and how many threads are made hating on him every day this won't go away until he hangs up the gloves.Comment

It was closer than the Cotto fight. Maidana actually built a lead up but let it slip away.
Floyd did the cleaner work bit some of those rounds you have to give Maidana credit for his work rate and aggression over a couple of clean counters.
Still I think 115-113 or possibly 116-112 Floyd was the correct score.Comment

Cotto did quite a bit better IMO.
They wanted to sell the morons a rematch is what I'm thinking here. I haven't heard Showtime's commentary yet.Comment

People are dying to see Floyd lose so they vent. They will go all out tonight and life will go on tomorrow.
Quite frankly, arguing about who won the fight shouldn't even be the issue. It's that Floyd looked like **** in there. Maidana doesn't appear to have a mark on his face. Aesthetics do matter and tell the story. Floyd is only marked up because of head butts but Chino was supposed to look like Rocky Balboa the way he attacked. And yet he looked the way he entered the ring.Comment
