Floyd Mayweather has beaten Manny Pacquiao with unanimous points decision in the ‘Fight of the Century’ in Las Vegas.

One of the three judges scored card ruled 118 to 110 while the other two ruled a 116 to 112.

Mayweather is still undefeated in 48 fights and is now the WBA, WBO and WBC welterweight champion.

The 38‑year‑old American made a surprisingly strong start then withstood some aggressive counter‑punching by the Filipino southpaw.

Though Mayweather repeatedly backpedaled because of Pacquiao’s punches, he used his renowned defensive skills and got in several jabs and punches of his own.

While speaking after the fight, Mayweather said he had to take his time to counter Pacquiao.

The Filipino Legend came out with a strong performance in the first four rounds but it wasn’t enough to win the fight.

Mayweather’s next fight will be in September and according to boxing experts it may be against Amir Khan.

Meanwhile, people have taken to social media saying that the real fight took place between Jamie Foxx and the American national anthem.

The actor and singer’s rendition of the “Star Spangled Banner” was criticised for having more twists and turns than the fight after Foxx attempted several high notes and failed.

US$400 million will be generated from this fight with Mayweather to walk away with US$180 million while Pacquiao will get US$120 million.
