Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao: Scorecard Results and Purse Payout

Well, what exactly were you expecting? 

Like he has done to so many opponents in his career, Floyd Mayweather Jr. calmly, precisely and decisively beat Manny Pacquiao in the fight that was billed as the matchup of the century, winning a unanimous decision Saturday night in a match that didn't come close to living up to the hype. 

HBO Boxing on Twitter passed along the judges' scores:

David Kull of ESPN passed along an image of the full, official scorecards:

The consensus belief coming into the fight was that Pacquiao would have to crowd Mayweather, throw a ton of punches at him to try to get inside of his guard and continuously play the role of the aggressor. And while Pacquiao was able to do that at moments, the fight didn't play out exactly as folks would have expected. 

The following stats, passed along from Chris Mannix of Sports Illustrated, tell an interesting story:

Mayweather's jab was likely the difference, per BBC Sport:

If you've seen Mayweather fight before, none of this surprises you. The fact that the fight wasn't terribly exciting doesn't surprise you. The fact that Mayweather almost toyed with Pacquiao, at times, doesn't surprise you. The fact that Mayweather clutched at Pacquiao with regularity doesn't surprise you. The fact that Mayweather was never interested in going for a knockout doesn't surprise you. The fact that he dissected and out-thought Pacquiao doesn't surprise you.

And the fact that he made so much money for something that wasn't very entertaining at all, well, that surprises you the least of all. Mayweather does two things, and he does them well: He wins technical, boring fights in which he takes few chances and makes an enormous amount of money in the process, because people love to hate him and they'll pay any amount of money to see the possibility of him losing a fight.

Just consider the possible purse Mayweather may have earned, per Robert Raiola:

Darren Rovell of ESPN was a little more subdued when projecting a purse figure for the fighters:

And hey, maybe we'll get to do it all over again. After all, Pacquiao said with a straight face that he thought he won the fight, per Mashable on Twitter:

Not many folks are in his corner on this one, however. He's still probably the fighter best equipped to beat Mayweather, all things considered. And a rematch probably would still be quite lucrative. But let's be honest—the so-called "Fight of the Century" was kind of a dud. And the reason it was a dud is because Mayweather did what he does to every opponent he faces—he dispassionately and un-entertainingly broke Pacquiao down and technically dismantled him. 

It's just what he does. It's what you should have been expecting all along.
