After Floyd Mayweather dominated Manny Pacquiao in 2015, all three judges scored the bout in Mayweather’s favor to declare him a winner by UD. While Burt A. Clements and Glenn Feldman scored the fight 116-112, Dave Moretti scored 118-110. However, when Max Kellerman interviewed Manny Pacquiao immediately after the match, ‘PacMan’ said he thought he had won the fight. Now, almost echoing Pacquiao, an interviewer lately told Mayweather that some people thought the Pacquaio fight was “close“.
In his response, Mayweather strongly defended his laudable victory against Manny. In doing so, he bragged about being a Hall-of-Fame inductee. By the by, ‘TBE’ announced he could still demand $100 million for a fight at 47. Here is what happened.

As per the data uploaded by BoxRec, there were eight rounds when all three judges gave Floyd Mayweather a 10-9 score against Manny Pacquiao. However, all three judges felt Mayweather also lost the fourth and sixth rounds against ‘PacMan’. And ‘TBE’ largely agrees with the judges. As per ‘Money,’ he lost only two rounds against the then WBO Welterweight champion at MGM Grand, Las Vegas. Therefore, when ZOOM correspondent Rudrani Chattoraj said there were people who “nitpicked” Mayweather’s performance against Manny, the 50-0 boxer had to correct her.

“They never said that with Manny. That was a blowout. That was a 10-2. You really could say 11-1. But, I’m going to say I’mma be a gentleman and give him two [rounds],” said Floyd Mayweather about the $600 million fight. “We know he won one round for sure. But, the other one could have been close. So, we’ll say 10-2. [And] 10-2 is a blowout,” he added.
Along these lines, speaking about the naysayers, Mayweather declared he was in the Hall of Fame for a reason. “I could have been in the Hall of Fame 20 years ago. I just went into the Hall of Fame a few years ago. [So,] I’m appreciative. I’m very very thankful for all the naysayers. For all the people who wrote articles about me,” said ‘TBE,’ who believes he can defeat Pacquiao 100 out of 100 times.
