You’d think he’d be happy enough then.
The world tuned in for the most anticipated fight of a generation and Floyd Mayweather wasn’t one bit concerned for their entertainment.
He controlled the fight against Manny Pacquiao, ducked and weaved his way out of conflict and refused to become embroiled in a brawl and the masses were underwhelmed.
So much so that MMA and the UFC got a whole new set of fanfare off the back of it.
Boxing is dead and #MayPac was the funeral. R.I.P Boxing, Long Live MMA. https://t.co/ZvH7JbGIHM cc: @UFC

And, whilst UFC president Dana White wasn’t joining in on the ‘our sport is better than yours’ brigade, he did say that a Pacquiao win would’ve been better for boxing.
He was rooting for Manny but he was disappointed with what he saw.
