LAS VEGAS — The long-awaited Fight of the Century turned into just another day at the office for Floyd Mayweather Saturday night at the sold-out MGM Grand Garden Arena.
Mayweather (48-0, 26 KOs) did exactly what many of the experts felt he would do: Start slowly, let Manny Pacquiao put the pressure on early, make him miss, maybe give him a shot of false confidence, then pull the rug out from under him. Mayweather worked the gameplan his father, Floyd Mayweather Sr, drew up, to perfection.
He did what he set out to do, even if it cost the packed house filled with A-list celebrities and a huge pay-per-view audience what they had paid big bucks to see: A slugfest between the top pound-for-pound fighters in the world.
