Floyd Mayweather and Andre
Berto
As should have been expected, the world's richest boxer,
Floyd Mayweather, has won his fight against challenger, Andre Berto. Mayweather cruised to
a clear win in a bout that went the
full 12-rounds in Las Vegas, Nevada. Mayweather
scored a victory of 120-108, 118-110, 117-111. The undefeated
champ's record stands
at 49-0.
After 19-years as a professional boxer, Mayweather has stated
the Berto bout was his last fight. Mayweather is retiring from the sport
that has given him so much. It's too bad, as he is still in
great shape. One more win and he could have surpassed the record
held by heavyweight boxer, Rocky Marciano, rather than equaling it.
Andre Berto and Floyd
Mayweather
Mayweather was evasive the whole fight, exhibiting the great
defense that is his trademark. Berto, who had two swollen eyes
after the fight stated, "I pushed him to the limit, but he was
just better." Still, don't feel sorry for Berto, who earned
$4,000,000 from the fight and has bragging rights to state he
fought the world champion. For $4,000,000 I would fight
Mayweather (I'm kidding).
Mayweather's top rival Manny
Pacquiao posted a photo of himself at home bored during the fight, humorously trolling him (LOL)
The Mayweather v. Berto fight was not as lucrative as the
Mayweather v. Pacquiao bout in May that shattered all
pay-per-view records and sold many tickets at unprecedented
sums. However, Mayweather will earn at least $28,000,000 from the Berto fight and there are other
tie-ins that are revenue streams as
well.
