    118-110 is definitely wrong. But the result wasn't rigged. I had it 116-112 in favor of Mayweather like the other two judges.

    That was one of Money's easiest fights.
    He's simply one of the best ever.

    Mayweather is a media genius! We have seen the same fight 47 times until tonight and still his mouth gets people to pony up. the Media eats up his cockiness. The fans want someone, anyone to beat him.

    He started off fine, but he went into "total dick mode" when Pacquiao said he thought he won.

    > I thought I won the fight.
    > Uh, you thought you won? Well, no one ringside did. I sure didn't score in your favor. (lel u srs breh?)

    >If he didn't move around as much, I would have landed more punches.
    > (with snark) Well, why didn't you do something to make him stand still?

    Pretty unprofessional interview. He basically let Pacquiao's answers dictate what his own response would be.

    Yeah Floyd won by basically sitting back and taking no chances. I think Manny would kill him in a street fight.

    Most overhyped thing ever. I would never pay $100 to watch this.

    There was just no way this fight could possibly live up to the ridiculous hype. This matchup should have happened 4-5 years ago.

    Mayweather's conservative defensinve style isn't suited for entertaining viewing, but it gets the job done.

    I get the strategy, but if this constitutes what boxing has become then no surprise why it's dying. Aside from the freak show aspect I have no clue why people pay to watch this. It's like turning basketball into a free throw contest.

    I don't think Jim Gray would be that much of a dick, though. Kellerman needs to learn a lesson in how to properly conduct an interview.

    I dont know much about Boxing but running and dodging is a legitimate tactic in boxing. Everyone knows how Mayweather boxes, why would he change all of sudden? It's on Pac and his corner to come up with a strategy to stop Mayweather from dancing like Peter Pan.

    Pacman gave us one great hit on Mayweather haha. If PAC jumped that he could have won the fight.
