Close fight, Pac was the aggressor most of the fight and seems to do the most dmg.
I am afraid the judges will give it to Floyd looking at the round by round scoring.
I say keep them in the ring until one person taps out
Watch the post-game interview by Pacquiao. So telling.
They confronted me in the day of my calamity, but the Lord was my support.
Manny had a shot at knocking him out in the 4th when he landed like 6 or 7 in a row. This may have been his last fight. Mayweather has 1 more in his contract, but the opponent hasn't been signed yet.

I don't get excited for boxing anymore because even a low skilled mma fighter would be able to win against the best boxer in the world in 30 seconds.
Mayweather is giving up all his belts.

I won 200 bucks from my stupid Pacquiao-obsessed friend, and I didn't even watch the fight. Evidently, what happened is what I thought would happen; Fayweather put on a defensive clinic, that bored everyone to tears. Anyone who paid to see this is a chump. Five years ago, Pac could've gotten him, but he's past his prime and Floyd knew it, which is why he finally agreed. Mayweather is an $#@!, uneducated and an extremely dull boxer but he's a genius when it comes to self promotion. Such a boring fighter would never be such a draw without his dickish personality. He's boxing's greatest heel, and he plays that role to perfection. He is also the best fighter of the generation, but my favorites will always be Sergio Martinez.

To the people that watched the fight, who do you think won the fight?
I though Pac man won most of the round but the round by round scoring on TV kept giving the rounds to Floyd. I really thought there will an outrage about the bad scoring by the judges. But nothing.
Seems like I am in the twilight zone

Mayweather was pussyfooting his way around the ring. Pacquiao wanted to fight, and was actually trying to. Anytime Pacquiao got close, Mayweather jump away-- if he got closer he would hug him. There were multiple rounds where Mayweather was in big trouble, but was saved by the bell.
I am not a boxing fan, and I would normally call what Mayweather did "strategic" and "smart" (as the announcers wouldn't let you forget for two seconds.) But the fact that Mayweather did this for the entire fight, and then it just ended that way after 12th round...lame.

Yes, I watched the fight, I saw the the many ways Floyd was running away from a fight. But in spite of all that, Pac connected on so many good punches that dazed Mayweather but the replay guy rarely showed it during the intermission. I said it was a close fight only cos it wasn't a blowout from Pacman. But I really think the judges got it wrong.
Draw maybe but there is no way in hell Mayweather won that fight.

Mostly this. Mayweather avoids Pac in his prime, but had no problem fighting with Pac's injured shoulder. That's not a reason to postpone, but Mayweather just played it shrewdly. Pacquiao could have numbed the shoulder, but my understanding is that his request for a shot was too late.
I will say however, that people can argue all kinds of what-ifs and other scenarios. If you win within the parameters of a contest, then you win. That makes it all the more ironic that Mayweather has the nerve to declare himself better than Sugar Ray Robinson or Ali. It's not enough for Mayweather to acknowledge that he was the best within a particular place and time and under the parameters. He has to go beyond that.
Anyway, I'm starting to sound like sour grapes. Mayweather won it. Congrats to Mayweather and his win.

Exactly. This stuff used to be on network TV. Ali was probably the most famous man in the world at one time.
The sport got relegated to the back door for multiple reasons in a changing society. Real boxing and talent was replaced with the joke fighting on cable. "MMA" is to boxing as "SuperHero Scramble" is to the Olympics.

I would like to see a rematch, but it probably won't happen. If so, then I would like to see much more emphasis on giving points to the aggressive fighter. That's how it used to be. Pacquiao would not likely be labeled an "underdog" this time. If so, then so be it.
He actually thought he won this fight, so he would be a whole lot more aggressive. He would win the next fight. I never pay to watch these on PPV, but would almost pay to watch a rematch. Almost. lol
