Mayweather vs. Pacquiao Results: Money's Post-Fight Celebration and Comments

Floyd Mayweather Jr. improved to 48-0 and added a new chapter to his legendary career in defeating Manny Pacquiao on Saturday by unanimous decision at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

HBO reported the official scores from the three judges, and Chris Mannix of Sports Illustrated highlighted how Mayweather was far more precise in his punches, citing CompuBox's numbers:

EuroSport.com captured an image of Mayweather celebrating and noted how much money he made:

With the massive payday Mayweather raked in for this fight that was years in the making, plenty of celebrations will be had. Mayweather only has one bout left on his contract, so he might as well bask in the glory of his latest triumph in epic style.   

As the fight wound down, Kevin Baxter of the Los Angeles Times observed how Money May danced around as if he knew he'd secure yet another landmark victory:

Mayweather was able to dance, duck and dodge his way out of many threatening Pacquiao punching combinations. Pac-Man did what he could but simply couldn't land enough punches, as the superior technical ability of Mayweather shone through.

After handing Pacquiao a crushing loss on Saturday, Mayweather elaborated on what transpired in the ring, how and why he came out on top and what his future plans are.

Showtime Sports transcribed Mayweather's most notable post-fight comments:

So Mayweather has just one fight remaining as of now, and it probably won't be against Pacquiao.

Pac-Man didn't inflict enough powerful blows on Mayweather to warrant stepping into the ring with him again. Some will argue that Money May ran from Pacquiao too often, as Oscar De La Hoya did in his analysis:

But to Money May's credit, he did show a strong chin even when Pacquiao hit him square in the face with jabs multiple times.

The toughest hurdle standing between Mayweather, retirement and a perfect record seems to have been cleared with Pacquiao out of the picture. No matter whom Mayweather takes on moving forward, he can use superior strategy to his advantage and will his way to a win.

Those who felt Mayweather was wary of the possibility of facing Pacquiao since he was a legitimate threat can't really hold that against Money May anymore. It did take years of stalling, but Mayweather finally did step in to clash with his toughest adversary and emerged a champion just as he always has.

Although it may not be the most exciting brand of boxing, all Mayweather has done is win. That is reason enough for him and his fans to celebrate how great he's been in that regard and how it will carry him on in boxing lore as one of the best ever.
