According to boxingjunkie.com, it was a match up between a puncher (Pacman) versus a boxer (Mayweather). Pacman threw a lot of punches that didn't connect based on the article below:

I’m sure the authorities didn’t want riots in Vegas, so...

From the link:
Heres an amazing statistic that tells the story of the fight, and of Mayweathers Hall of Fame career: His previous 13 opponents connected on an average of 19% of their punches against him, according to CompuBox statistics. Pacquiao connected on you guessed it 19% of his punches.
In that same span, Mayweather landed an average of 50% of his punches. Against Pacquiao: 48%.

They played the Mexican national anthem before they started fighting even though Mayweather is from the U.S. and Pac is from the Phillipines

I have no idea but I wouldn’t doubt if some Obama goon was behind it

I almost, almost pulled the trigger and bought the $99.00 fight. ..even telling my wife I knew what I wanted for my birthday.
I woke up wondering if I missed one of the greatest fights of all time.
I really like it when I make a good decision.
For all those Benjamins, a rematch or two and they each could start their own bank.
To: TexasCajun
Manny Pacquiao is my man but this fight looks suspiciously fake as in close score/rematch/ more millions for all involved down to the shoe shine boys in Vegas.
STAGED!!!!! staged bs! This fight was “Dancing with the Stars” No one gets damaged/ a close score to keep the betting chumps excited and involved for round number two in Vegas about 18 months from now

Really? It looks like just about every Mayweather fight. Mayweather is a skilled but cautious fighter. He gets the lead and sits on it. He's not going to take chances so his fights are not very exciting and usually closer than the skill difference would suggest.
This would have been a great match-up five years ago but Pacquiao doesn't have enough left in the tank to seriously challenge Mayweather. If there is a rematch, it is because there don't appear to be another lucrative match out there and unfortunately, there doesn't appear to be anyone to knock Mayweather off his perch.

Pacquiao is the younger man by two years. So you say he doesn’t have much left in the tank...... To me Mayweather shows his age while Manny does not
There will be a rematch that Pacquiao will be designed to win. Then a third bout that will be up for grabs. The tremendous betting public in Asia demands this same as they are the major clonish buyers of Apple watches

Spot on analysis. Five years ago Manny probably would have overwhelmed Mayweather defense. Last night he looked frustrated, and slightly winded. He really didn’t bring any of his trademark techniques like off-angle attacks and aggressive flurries. I wouldn’t pay for a rematch.

What I saw was Manny on the offense almost all of the time. Mayweather would not fight toe to toe with the little guy. All he wanted to do was survive without any serious damage and take the win on points, which is what he did.
Not much real boxing to me.

Reminds me of the Hagler vs Leonard fight.
Two fighters past their prime fight each other in what turns out to be glorified sparring match.
To: dennisw
When it was over it looked like neither boxer had really broken a sweat. No knockdowns. No cuts. They seemed to be exceedingly courteous to each other.
Still better than that Klitschko fight a short while ago, though. At least they weren’t hugging most of the time.

Developing..... but I am calling bs on this fight. That it is just one out of a projected three to decide the “winner” so they took it easy on each other this time around as in getting acquainted and a furtive kiss or two on the front porch swing
You saw my photo above of these two divers hugging after the alleged fight? They are going steady now.

I read that Mayweather is taking home a cool $180 MILLION for that little
pas de deux. At the very least someone in his camp has some good business sense. Chapeau! to that. And some people complain about CEOs making a killing...
