As the purses for the Non-Fight of the Century go through the stratosphere never mind the roof – latest projections $240million for Floyd Mayweather and $160m for Manny Pacquiao – so the scoring of Mr Money’s victory falls deeper into question.

The more pay-per-view returns come in from around the US – currently well over four million US buys at $99.95 a pop – the greater the certainty that we have just witnessed the marketing miracle of The Half-Billion Dollar Fight.

The more intently the tapes of the fight are scrutinised the greater the head-scratching about the unanimous decision in favour of Mayweather.

Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather trade blows in their highly-anticipated fight in Las Vegas on May 2

One dedicated website in America, Boxing News 24, sat its leading commentators down to monitor the video, first at actual speed, then in slow motion, finally frame by frame.

The task was prompted initially by astonishment at the official fight statistics, which among other anomalies proclaimed that Pacquiao had connected with less than 20 per cent of his total punches and only nine per cent of his jabs.

So they decided to tally every blow and in so doing came up with startling numbers which multiply long-standing doubts about the validity of the punch stats, as well as concerns about the verdict itself.

Mayweather, pictured watching the Los Angeles Clippers on Friday night, retained his unbeaten record after the judges delivered a unanimous verdict in favour of the American in his fight against Pacquiao


Only by bending over backwards to give Mayweather the benefit of one statistically equal round, by virtue of his higher work rate in those three minutes, and another in which he landed one less punch but would have got the hometown nod could he have achieved even so much as a draw.

Mark that second round 10-10 and the ninth 9-10 and Pacquiao would be their clear winner.

It is claimed however, that the American landed only 68 of those 471 punches, 30 fewer than Pacquiao

Pathetic. Use your fukking EYES :mindblown:

There are things I don't like about Floyd for sure, but you can't deny his talent and dominance.

He has to be the most underappreciated fighter of the last 25 years at least. They can't stop diminishing from him.
But they keep buying. :russ:

Honestly, why bother? That article is just to get clicks from pro-Pactoid fans and Money May haters. Everyone except Skip Bayless knows Mayweather won the fight.

He's not unappreciated at all, he's just hated. It's like LeBron. When people go out of their way to make up reasons why you're not the GOAT or at least in the conversation they're just confirming they're in awe of your ability. If these guys weren't as good as their haters try to say they're not then nobody would speak about them at all.

Under appreciated fighters have to fight in Japan and in Bolivia for pennies. Not the guy whose team might fukk around and make close to half of a billion before it's said and done. Just because he has haters( a lot) doesn't mean he isn't appreciated.

A 2x gold medal winner having to fight in Shdsaofhjasdfa China for chump change is under appreciated, Floyd Mayweather is not.

:snoop: Is this like the video on worldstar where the dude slowed the tape and re-scored the fight round by round? I watched one round and the dude was scoring punches that were blocked, missed, and glancing blows for Pac, and not counting clean blows for Floyd. Pactards put walking dead zombies to shame. Just when I think they have been buried, the re-emerge and spew more bullshyt.
