But you could see even in the sense of the American struggle output entirely. A scandal decision was the judgment in any case not, even if it 118: 112 too clearly failed: 110, 116: 112 and 116. “I am very surprised by this score,” Pacquiao said. “I have much more often met him when he me.” Mayweather did not care, he announced to end with another fight in September his career. With his win against Pacquiao, he defended the world title at welterweight on the version of the associations WBC and WBA, winning the hitherto held by Pacquiao WBO title to do so.
16.800 spectators attached to this boxhistorischen evening $ 75 million in the fund, which was that the audience was not a normal fan. It was an evening of Besser to big earners. For each ticket the people had paid a fortune, a place on the ring was last traded on the internet 130,000 dollars, the cheapest ticket, worth on paper $ 1,500 with 6000. The mood did not detract from, the air vibrated already before the main event, a mixture of anticipation and happiness evaporated through the hall to be involved in a battle of superlatives, a fight, to whom they had been waiting for six years.
The Celebrity density at ringside was record-breaking: The Basketball legends Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson had come, the singer Sting and Justin Bieber, the actor and director Clint Eastwood, Steffi Graf and Andre Agassi, who live in Las Vegas.

The big question was: Can this 400, maybe $ 500 million to keep expensive fight what it promises? Can he enter into the history of boxing, standing in a row with fights like Ali vs. George Foreman in 1974, Ali against Joe Frazier in 1975, Sugar Ray Leonard against Marvin Hagler in 1987 or Evander Holyfield against Tyson in 1995? Can Pacquiao beat the victorious in all his 47 professional fights Mayweather, he has a chance against him? The Filipino was in the fight of his life against a Herculean task. With 1.69 meters, he is four centimeters smaller than Mayweather and inferior to him in range to thirteen centimeters, he had the favorites back on the fur, had to impose him an embittered battle. which he tried from the beginning.
It was the expected battle of the systems. Here Pacquiao, the Haudrauf with heart, there Mayweather, the Boxkünstler, the super technician. The first round was still scanning, but then pushed Pacquiao powerful up a gear, to the seventh round Mayweather was mainly in reverse on the road, although this is his way, but since it looked as if Pacquiao is a good chance to win, even in Las Vegas, also with American judges. He kept trying to put Mayweather on the ropes and covered the Americans with his famous Flurry. Spectators raged on every shot, and Mayweather had to take more than he is accustomed to.

Pacquiao continued to work like a madman, but Mayweather kept mostly track. “There were a few critical moments in this struggle,” he said. “But I have been wise to end.”
Whether the fight lived up to expectations? It was a big boxing match, no question, but in the history of the greatest fights he will not go down.
