Close fight but i dont agree with the judges scores that was bullsh*t.
Mayweather prove he is the best in the world . This was his toughest fight by far, but his opponent was throwing way to many wild shots, I’m surprise mayweather didn’t just knock him out while he was throwing his wild punches. At the end of the dat Floyd’s defense was superb compare to his opponents defense. Everybody want to fight and beat the best , which is floyd . Floyd is an example of a real and true black warriors with the spirit of Jesus which improves his skills . This win was for America and the blacks. Congratulations floyd on your outstanding performance and god bless . Keep up your hard good work , u are truly the pound for pound king , people will always be jealous because Floyd is a black man who is the best in what he does , which is box
Dude you are delusional, did you take your meds ?
Stfu , lmfao , u hater ugly jelous hater . Stop hatin on Floyd he’s the best . And u are so pus$y that u commented all the way at the bottom . Drop de@d …. U thought I wasn’t gonna check … Lmfao u a funny clown
Maidana Won that one no doubts
.
mayweather may be been better from de 7th round… ,?
7- 5 for Floyd. Gave Floyd rounds 1 & 2. Rounds 3,4,5 to Maidana. Rounds 6,7,8,9,10 to Floyd and rounds 11 & 12 to Maidana.
mayweather only won the 6,7,9,10 to me, i can’t belive you gave 1,2 & 8 to mayweather i think you should watch the fight again but this time don’t do it as a fan. oh yeah and turn the volume off and don’t focus on just one fighter
I give one round to maidana thats it his wild style is very inaccurate he needs to go to Floyd’s boxing camp
N you need to check your eyes
you gave floyd rounds 1&8? you have to watch it again, no doubts on those.
You gave Floyd round 1 LMFAO
now, i think that mayweather is not invincible at this time. many other think that he may lost if he fought manny pacquiao…
He would school pacquiao and mayweather isnt invincible I wana see him fight a fighter with a defensive style like his own that would be a match because these offensive fighters really just dont stand a chance
Ha ha so why he is scare and dont fight pacquiao
At the end of the day floyd won so too all you haters let me ask you this” is you mad ? or nah! lmao
i wanted maidana
to win but i guess seens his older he would no more things as to hitting but at the end of the day floyd won
Mayweather gave maidana a boxing lesson he got his a*s whooped just because one is more agressive with his attack does not give him a victory this is boxing he missed to many punches didnt land anything significant flyod avoided his wild blows and landed some nice shots that had maidana thinking maidana lost to a better boxer
Mayweather gave maidana a boxing lesson maidana needs to work on his boxing what grown man wind mills lbvs
Floyd clearly won
Floyd is the best . Stop the hate and jealousy . Floyd won with true skills. His opponent was just throwing wild punches at Floyd. Floyd can only fight one person at a time . It seems like every win floyd gets, someone always is hating , obviously people are jealous and hate when a black man makes it in to the top . Floyd has beaten all the best fighters , he’s the best period and I know it and u know it and for certainly God knows this .
But why he is scare of paquiao he he ?
U are crazy bro, “scared” lol, floyd have no fear of no man when it comes to boxing , he fought boxers better than pacquiao . Also pacquiao got knocked out by Marquez, Floyd never been dropped on the ground his whole career . My point exactly
gmayweather win… but all those fights.. he did not get the respect he wants!
why? coz he dont fight as a warrior!
U are one of the jelious ones, or Hater obviously . U must not know your boxing, bro ., Floyd wins by strategy and skills , he outsmarts his openents with his incredible defense. Floyd is the best there is , the best there was , and the best there ever will be in his weight class …!!facts!!

Do you think best fighter hiding from Manny is funny?
this is the second fight Mayweather lost after the first bout against Castillo. Probably Floyd underrated Maidana….congratulations to Maidana
Floyd will go in history as the best ever to do it in the sport of boxing. Believe me … That’s my word … He will go down in history with the most wins without a a lost . May god and Jesus keep blessing floyd and his family . He is a very special man . Believe me . He is . This guy is so clever and a genius when it comes to winning a fight and never taking an loss in boxing . This is a special” child of god . ” he is so good I don’t get it . I never seen someone like Floyd. Everybody wants to fight this man at the same damn time . This is crazy… It’s obscured … lol.
Hahaha , u must be a Muslim … I’m pretty sure u are … But any ways let me school u . Floyd has no losses and I believe Kan has 2 or 3 losses or maybe more . Kan is good but he does not stand a chance against gods work which is floyd … Floyd has the skills and the warrior spirited in his soul . He is the truth , I like Kan but Kan needs to fight a fighter like Canelo Alvarez or pacquiao first because Floyd doesn’t have time for Kan . Floyd is the best period . You know it , I know it , and god knows it .

people just want to believe floyd was losing but when does throwing more punches beat landing more punches. 59% of floyd punches landed. he won a tough fight but the guy won MONEY
Great point …. I didn’t even realize that point
Floyd didn’t win. This fight was draw.
I believe this fight was draw. I have credit to Marco Maidana he trash Floyd.
With Khan, if Khan has good chin and than he can win over Floyd.
With Manny, Floyd will lose. Manny is more cleaver fighter and better fighter than Floyd.
Floyd needs to fight Manny if he wanted claimed to be best fighter.
How can he claim he is the best if Floyd hide from best fighter Manny?
Lol , he’s one man and he can’t fight everyone at once. Pacquiao got knocked out and Kan got knocked out and both of those fighters has multiple loses. Canelo would demolish Kan. And broner probably would demolish pacquiao .hahhahahaha . I love seeing floyd getting richer and richer . He is blessed he deserves it unlike your self , because u a hater and jelous of the truth
Floyd does not lose fight because he only fight someone he can beat 100%.
That’s called Coward.
You’re one of those blind Floyd supporters.
Floyd supporters are childish and gay like Mayweather.
You have to accept truth and real.
Tell you’re hero coward Fried Chicken Mayweather to fight real boxers. Strop fighting with child.
Lol , u crazy jelous ugly coward . Why is floyd the highest paid athlete ever and is rank number one . Facts . You the childish ugly fake fan , being immature and calling people gay. Lol . Hater hater . Don’t be mad a the best who ever did it
if he is the best, then why did he have so many reason not to fight pacman? it just make him look scared. if he’s that confident that he will always find a way to win, he should just fight pacman and we will see then who’s the best

My score was 115/112 for Maidana.
I had it 7-4 with 1 even round.
This is the 3rd fight I have scored agaisnt FMJr. 1st is Castillo #1.
2nd was Judah by 1 point BUT technically FMjr should have been DQ’d when his corner jumped into the ring Durring the match.
(every sanctioning body has that rule)
Maidana surprised FMjr with his footwork.
In the past he was allot more flat footed and wading in. He up jabbed allot and ducked under allot coming in as fast as he could.
I did not even give Maidana a chance in this fight before hand.
he made this a good fight.
But he still took the loss and floyd won and still made 32 million dollars not counting paper view incentives. And he won the belts. So obviously you are a hater and your judgment of the match was totally off.floyd is the best . Point blank
Yea, Floyd got paid. Do you have a point other than being a fanboi calling someone who disagrees with you a ‘hater’? Like FM gives a sh*t about you, calm down f*ol.
Now I am convince Mayweather will not fight Manny Pacquiao with the way he fought Maidana. He CAN’T win against Pacquiao and he (Mayweather) knows it so he will not fight. I thought the fight was a draw. He already lost his legs and his reflexes is not the same as before. He can’t win against PacMan who will run circles against him and lost via UD.
after watching fight live and then watching the replay Floyd one by a big margin. Most of Maiadana’s shots were off the mark Floyd threw punchs in spirits but connect percentage way to high he was much to accurate. Khan looked terrible and is not worthy and after Pac last fight he looks done as well if you watched fight with Bradley Pac looked old and weak very shell shocked lost his aggressiveness Floyd will beat Pac to death. So hopefully he leaves Arum in DEC
Amir looked far better against collazo than Pac did against Bradley … how many times was Bradley down?
Really? Comparing Collazo to Bradley is like comparing apples to oranges. Now put Amir against Pacquiao and you I bet all my money that Pacquiao would treat him like no competition. By the way if Amir worked out he’s neck muscles he would have a chance at the title but as you can see it didn’t work out so well against Danny Garcia.
This heny guy defends floyd alot… He doesn’t want other people to disrespect floyd bt he is disrespecting other boxers like calling maidana a trash… This fight proves a lot… Pac will be a tough fight for floyd im not sayin pac will win alright? and real talk may is coward, seriously!
I agree, I mean is one thing not wanting to get hurt but that is part of what boxing involves this is not slap boxing lol… In my very honest opinion, I believe Floyd should be recognized as the best business man in boxing when you compare him to other “Great” boxers like Mike Tyson who always stepped up to a challenge and like Floyd- didn’t take years to fight the fighter that presented him with a challenge. Mike Tyson fought with guys twice his size, how can Mayweather say he’s the best ever? One more thing, if Floyd thinks he is the best ever, why did he not allow Maidana to use he’s regular sized gloves. Most of you guys out there need to come to the realization that you can’t believe everything the media says, including what comes out of Floyd’s mouth.
Lmfao another hater . Stfu ….
close fight but mayweather definitely won. maidana to much of a brawler throwing wild a*s punches and not landing
Floyd is the best . That was a great fight though , a wild puncher against and the accurate in point puncher . Floyd’s so greAt,no wonder he’s the highest paid athlete in the world .and never loss a fight or got knock down and he’s also a very great entertainer for the fans of boxing .
castillo won and zab knocked him down do your research
No he didn’t win that’s y mayweather has 0 losses . Stop being jelous/….
Stfu …. U sound like a racist ….. U a clown .. Lmfao
Yiuare right. floyd is the best boxer pound for pound . And I’m a white . I wanted floyd to lose so bad . Why is he so dang good. Lose already. I’m jelous because he never loss
He did lose, go back and compare the boxer’s faces after the fight lol
your mexican bro.. he lost..
Sorry I’m Puerto Rican and by the way I like Mayweather and by the way Maidana is from Argentina and by the way your black.
U just wanted to see a Latin boxer win against the black best fighter . U a racist and u don’t like Floyd … U are lying . U not a real floyd fan . Because if u really watch the fight u would see who really one .
I mean, well duh! Your name dude. It’s a dead giveaway. You pride on Latin boxing. In addition, you pride on Latin fighters.
Facts!!!!!!! Lol
watch the fight again.. Floyd is dodging a lot of those shots.. he’s not landing..
As much as I like Maidana, Mayweather survived and deserves the win. It was a very close fight I scored 5 rounds for Maidana and 6 for Mayweather. one round was up for grabs so I’ll call it a draw The fight could have been ruled a draw but I believe Mayweather did just enough to win. Mayweather in terms of pure boxing skills is probably the best ever. Although I think he has been selective at times in avoiding high risk bouts, when he retires, the boxing world will have to look very hard to find another to fill his shoes.
I agree about the skills part but I disagree about him wining the fight, if I were to chose which boxer got beating up the most it was Mayweather not Maidana.
And that’s by punches not elbows.
I agree with u . Facts!
Yea Maidana was dirty but that was more of Karma for Mayweather for everytime he throws his elbows out. Is boxing not UFC and if May wants to fight like he’s in the UFC then he is going to have to take what comes with that.
we know what won’t come with that…a loss for floyd mayweather. 46-0 still counting
I wonder why showtime does not want to display Mayweather getting his a*s whopped lol
I don’t understand how floyd is so talented and a great entertainer and business man. He’s a great champion and is the best period. Stop hatin on Floyd money mayweather .
Lmfao stfu u a hater !!! Jelousy envy , I can feel it . Hahhahahaha u a hater .
Haha he sure can! It probably feels like diarrhea
Lmfao , haha now u a comedian , that was funny lol. lol, Lmao …
when I saw the fight live, I thought it was a 1 sided fight in favor of floyd. Now after going back and watching the fight again and scoring it, I had it 115-113, Mayweather. I scored the 1st 5 rounds for Maidana and the rest for Floyd. It was the tale of 2 halves and floyd took control in the 6th and dominated the rest of the way. Thats what champions do, adapt to adversity. Thats why Floyd is TBE-The Best Ever
LAS VEGAS (CBS Las Vegas/AP) — Floyd Mayweather Jr. could earn up to $70 million for fighting for only 36 minutes.
Mayweather, who defeated Marcos Maidana by decision Saturday night, raked in $32 million for the fight. That total could rise to $70 million following the release of the pay-per-view numbers.
“$32,000,000.00 for 36 minutes. I’m waiting for the PPV numbers to come in so I can make another $38,000,000.00 on the back-end… making it a grand total of $70,000,000.00,” Mayweather posted on his Instagram account.
The photo accompanying the post states that Mayweather made $14,815 per second, $888,889 per minute and $2,666,667 per round for the 12-round, 36-minute boxing match.”
Mayweather was Cut over his eye and temporarily blinded by a head butt in the fourth round, and he still won the fight….
it does not matter if we like how judges score fights it is what it is, their opinion. i thought pacman did better vs bradley the 1st time but he lost. still had him in the second fight that he won, but closer he said himself tim got better.floyd got cut early by a headbutt.according to the scoring system that doesn’t count. punches to the back of the head dont count,or below the belt dont count. at the end of the day you got to score who is the better boxer. floyd adapted in the 5th and took over ring generalship and you have to do more than roughhouse to take the p4p although canelo would of had a lot more success if he’d taken that approach. did he look a lil off? yes. did i have him winning? yes. did you? maybe. did the judges? ok! i guess its 46 and 0
If boxing were to be determined by the amount of punches landed, then why do fighters win when they land less punches that are the harder shots? It’s about who is landing the more effective punches. Let’s also not mistake that for being the clearer shots. Maidana undoubtedly landed the more effective punches and hurt Mayweather the entire fight. Mayweather piddy padded Maidana, never hurt him, and never put him in any trouble at all. Furthermore Maidana controlled the tempo for more than half the fight forcing Mayweather to fight his fight and not the other way around!! Last but not least let’s not forget that Maidana was an 8-1 underdog so if he won that means a lot of betters, probably the judges included, would loose a lot of money. If Mayweather looses everyone looses
Exactly why the judges seem to always have the fight for him, 117 110 is an a*swooping, n Floyd didnt whoop sh*t in this fight. Like u said if Floyd looses, EVERYONE LOOSES. Too much money being invested in “the greatest of all time” LMFAO.
7 – 4 & 1 even for F. Mayweather …
That’s without the 2 points that M.M should have been
penalized for an exceptionally dirty fight.

You have to respect that.
About 90% of the population do not believe in them-selves because they do not have the right support for one self, their own family or the people around them so they decide to believe in someone like Floyd but they forget that there is only one entity to believe in and that’s God and until we as humans do not get this straight the world will not be at peace and we will never live the way God wants us to live. No one is “The Best Ever”. Maidana, Floyd, and many other boxers are champions, we are all created equal.
May weather the greastest, he has lost his speed and power despite his age! Respect that.
Steven?
Yes Sir? Why? Some common name!
May weather the greatest, he has “not” lost his speed and power, I beg your pardon….
It’s said that when you have to repeat things to make it seem true, it becomes a lie.
