May Days
(Mayweather-Canelo, Sept. 14, 2013) — In a blockbuster megaevent billed as “Le One,” Mayweather won an impressive 12-round decision over previously undefeated Canelo Alvarez in the then-highest-grossing pay-per-view and most profitable boxing event of all time. For the night’s work, Mayweather collected Canelo’s WBC, WBA and Ring Magazine Super Welterweight Championships.
(Mayweather-Maidana 1, Mai 3, 2014) — Mayweather seized “The Moment” against Marcos Maidana, but it wasn’t easy. For a stirring moment – or two, in fact – it appeared the aggressive-minded Argentine might do the unthinkable — and deal Mayweather his first defeat. But the supremely skilled and savvy Mayweather rallied convincingly in the bout’s second half to take a 12-round majority decision.
(Mayweather-Pacquiao, Mai 2, 2015) – Five-Division world champion Mayweather won a clear 12-round unanimous decision over Eight-Division world champion Manny Pacquiao in a record-shattering “Fight of the Century.” Regarded as one of the most anticipated sporting events of all time, Mayweather-Pacquiao demolished PPV records for buys, revenue, live gate and more. The fight nearly doubled the previous record of 2.48 million buys generated by the Mayweather-Oscar De La Hoya match in 2007 et presque triplé le record $150 millions en U.S. pay-per-view revenue generated by Mayweather-Canelo in 2013. À l'intérieur du ring, Floyd had his way throughout, winning by the scores of 118-110 et 116-112 deux fois,
(Sept. 12, 2015, Mayweather-Berto) – Mayweather went to 49-0, correspondant à l'enregistrement de la fin de champion des poids lourds Rocky Marciano, with a dominant 12-round unanimous decision over Berto. In command throughout, “TBE” landed an impressive 56 pour cent (232/410) dans les coups de poing lancés et 67 pour cent de ses coups de puissance (132/196) to triumph by the scores of 120-108, 118-110 et 117-111. If this was Mayweather’s last fight, as he’s said, then the maestro manufactured yet one last masterpiece.
