Did Floyd Mayweather defeat Manny Pacquiao?

While the fight between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao is the biggest ever, it wasn't praised.

Heading into the contest, it was well-known that 'Money' and 'Pac Man' were past their best days. While they were still champions, both men had lost a step in athletic ability, and it showed on fight night.

In true Mayweather fashion, he put on a defensive masterclass. Pacquiao absolutely had his moments and won rounds. However, he failed to land enough significant shots and spent most of the night swinging at the air.

After 12 rounds, it was Floyd Mayweather who earned the victory by unanimous decision. While it was arguably the biggest win of his career, the fight itself was panned by fans, who opined that the bout was largely uneventful.

To add to the disappointment, Manny Pacquiao revealed postfight that he had fought with an injury, which led to his dismal performance. Given the context of how disappointing the matchup was, it's no wonder tensions were running high, and Michael Jordan was forced to jump into action.
