    so glad this sht is over and done with and one fighter lost decisively

    Both remain great fighters and two of the best to ever lace them up but these tears and cries taste and sound so beautifully and sweet

      He did something worse than Gatti Pacquiao. By loading up on those counter rights and enforcing his physicality on Pacquiao by mid way through the fight he had took the fight out of him.

        I just re-watched the fight. It was actually a close fight.

        Floyd didn't do much and Manny didn't do much. You guys count Manny missing when FLoyd runs as a point. Or you count when Floyd counters with an arm punch that has little affect.

        Yes Manny was tentative but so was Floyd. If you don't believe me, go re-watch Floyd Sr in the corner. That was not a happy corner.

Ellerbe and Floyd senior both said Floyd was going to walk Pacquiao down and knock him out. Hell, he never even seemed to hurt Pacquiao the whole fight. Mayweather landed enough clean punches to win more rounds than Pacquiao but he wasn't aggressive like he and his team said he would be. He landed his usual pot shots but mostly ran and clinched. Neither fighter did what they said they would do. I thought it was a lousy fight but at least I saw it for free at a fight party. I feel bad for those who bought the pfv because they are showing it on regular HBO next Saturday. Mayweather refused to be weighed on fight night but I think he outweighed Pacquiao by at least 10 pounds. If Pacquiao is not going to retire he should fight at a more natural 135 or 140 because he is not a welterweight.

            i ordered the fight at my house and had small party. This is probably the last ppv i order in a while. everyone was excited and a lil drunk as soon as the fight started i knew floyd was goin to stink it up bad.

              Didn't need to Gatti him, he knew he could win without breaking a sweat, operating in first gear.

                Let's face it.

                Both fighters under-performed, the crowd wasn't happy.

                Lomachenko made both Mayweather and Pacquiao look soft.

                  I believed anything other than K.O before 6th round is meaningless.

                  Mayweather didn't scratch pacquiao's face, let alone knocking him down.

                  Anyway, he has knocked nobody down since, hmmmm 5 years ago?

                    Pacquiao was there to fight, he was very prone to being knocked out by a better boxer, his chin is cracked and his mentality too, it was a material for legendary fight. Unfortunately for the crowd, Mayweather didn't take any risk, he wants to retire without even being knocked down. I understand his logic, but I sincerely don't understand people who pay to watch him.

                    I think Mayweather knows he doesn't have the power or chin to exchange with a welterweight. It is strange for someone with his height and physique.
