Floyd Mayweather Jr. Defeats Manny Pacquiao In Welterweight Clash
The fight drew worldwide attention and, for its duration, dominated the conversation on social media.
In what was considered the highest-grossing bout in boxing history, Mayweather, the 38-year-old with the baby face and the unblemished professional boxing record, beat Pacquiao for the welterweight world championship with a unanimous decision
Both men were runaway winners financially. The purse, the majority of it from pay-per-view revenue from several million American households paying about $90 each to watch, was estimated at roughly $300 million. The contract called for Mayweather to receive 60 percent, win or lose.
Inside
the arena, show-business celebrities and famous athletes were sprinkled
throughout the crowd. The few tickets made available to the public were
priced from $1,500 for seats in the top rows to $7,500 for a seat on
the floor. Tickets were sold on the secondary market for $40,000 or
more.
The
bulk of the 16,507 fans at the MGM Grand Garden booed the decision by
the three judges, who gave Mayweather a wide margin in the 12-round
fight — 116-112 on two cards, 118-110 on the other. The judges agreed on
10 of the 12 rounds.
