on points
·
The fight had been five years in the making but was
made in 2015
·
Mayweather earned $180m, Pacquiao took home
$120m
Floyd Mayweather preserved his
unbeaten record as a professional with a unanimous decision victory over Manny
Pacquiao of the Philippines in their welterweight mega-fight at the MGM Grand
Garden Arena on Saturday.
The
38-year-old American made a surprisingly strong start, then withstood some
aggressive counter-punching by the Filipino southpaw in the later rounds as he
improved his career record to 48-0.
Though
Pacquiao repeatedly forced Mayweather to backpedal, the wily American blunted
his opponent's best efforts by using his renowned defensive skills while
getting in several telling jabs and punches of his own.
The
showdown between the two best boxers of their generation, dubbed the 'Fight of
the Century', had been more than five years in the making and is expected to be
the biggest-grossing prize bout of all time.
