The result has been in the books for four days now but footage is only just starting to emerge of some of the pre-fight backstage action.

And it looks like Manny Pacquiao's coach Freddie Roach wasn't the least bit happy about the way that Floyd Mayweather's hands were getting wrapped before he made his way to the ring. Roach accused the eventual victor of using tape that was too thick in comparison to that used by his fighter ahead of the most-anticipated bout of the modern era. Mayweather took the decision easily and, in our opinion, it was clearly down to that extra few millimetres of knuckle protection. https://youtu.be/jTmbblH2mSQ
