Subtitles section Play video

Narrator: IT WAS BILLED AS THE FIGHT OF THE CENTURY.
Scukanek: EVERYBODY'S BEEN WAITING FOR IT.
NOW WE GET IT.
...AN UNPRECEDENTED COMMERCIAL SUCCESS.
Ropp: ...HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.
...THOUGH PERHAPS ONE THAT FAILED TO SATISFY
THE PUBLIC'S BLOODLUST.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
MAYBE IT NEVER COULD.
THERE'S BEEN SO MUCH PENT-UP ANTICIPATION.
IT WAS A QUINTESSENTIAL MAYWEATHER PROMOTION
SET IN THE CITY THAT MONETIZES EXPECTATION...
TURNING FAME INTO FORTUNE.
I USED TO SLEEP IN THE STREET, STARVING, HUNGRY.
Narrator: ...AND SIX YEARS IN 36 MINUTES.
THE BIGGEST FIGHT IN BOXING HISTORY,
AND I'M A PART OF IT,
SO, YOU KNOW, IT'S TIME TO FIGHT NOW.
Narrator: WHAT IT PROMISED WAS A SPECTACLE.
WHAT IT DELIVERED WAS MORE SUBTLE...
FINELY TUNED...
THE CALCULUS OF COMBAT...
CALIBRATED, IMPERCEPTIBLE DISTANCES...
AN INVISIBLE DANCE...
AN EXPRESSION OF HIS PUGILISTIC GENIUS...
AN IMPOSITION OF HIS WILL.
AT LAST, FIGHT WEEK HAS ARRIVED.
Man: THERE IS A BUS. HE HAS A PACQUIAO BUS.
THAT IS THE PACQUIAO BUS?
THERE HE IS.
[ INDISTINCT SHOUTING, CHEERING ]
IN EVERY FACET OF THIS PROMOTION,
MAYWEATHER SOUGHT TO ENSURE THAT PACQUIAO WOULD BE CAST
AS THE "B" SIDE.
BUT NOW IN VEGAS, THE CHALLENGER MERRILY DEFIES PROTOCOL,
SNUBBING THE OFFICIAL ARRIVAL CEREMONY TO BE WITH HIS FANS,
THOSE WHO REGARD HIM AS BOXING'S BELOVED UNDERDOG.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT.
ARE YOU EXCITED?
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
DON'T GET NERVOUS ON SATURDAY.
I'M THE ONE WHO'S GOING TO FIGHT IN THE RING, SO RELAX.
TAKE IT EASY.
THE CONFIDENCE IS THERE 100%.
THANK YOU, AND GOD BLESS.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
Woman: BY HAVING YOUR OWN ARRIVAL TODAY,
DOES THAT ALLOW YOU TO CONCENTRATE MORE?
ARE YOU HAPPY NOT HAVING TO SEE FLOYD TODAY?
FLOYD'S DOING HIS THING. WE'RE DOING OURS.
THIS IS PEACEFUL, AND THERE'S NO DRAMA.
I THINK IT'S A LOT BETTER FOR US, YES.
Man: I DON'T KNOW IF YOU KNOW.
FLOYD MAYWEATHER HAS A STORE ACROSS THE STREET,
AND HE'S SELLING T-SHIRTS
THAT HAVE HIMSELF WITH THE FILIPINO FLAG IN THE BACK.
I LIKE THAT BECAUSE HE WANTS TO JOIN OUR TEAM.
TMT -- THE MANNY TEAM. SEE? [ CHUCKLES ]
Narrator: DOWN THE STRIP,
AMID THE PERCUSSIVE BEAT OF THE MARCHING BAND,
ENTERS THE CHAMPION.
IN CONTRAST TO PACQUIAO'S JOYOUS DEMEANOR,
MAYWEATHER IS ALL BUSINESS.
Doug E. Fresh: YOU CAME FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD TO SEE THIS!
Y'ALL GIVE IT UP FOR OUR BROTHER, YOUR BROTHER,
FLOYD "MONEY" MAYWEATHER!
Mayweather: WITHOUT YOU GUYS, I WOULDN'T BE WHERE I'M AT,
SO I'M VERY, VERY THANKFUL AND VERY APPRECIATIVE.
Man: FLOYD, HOW ARE YOU?
MANNY LOOKED VERY, VERY CALM
OVER AT HIS GRAND ARRIVAL AT MANDALAY BAY.
Woman: WHAT DOES IT SAY THAT PACQUIAO'S NOT HERE?
YOU KNOW, I CAN'T REALLY SPEAK
ON MANNY PACQUIAO, WHY HE'S NOT HERE,
BUT WE SPENT A LOT OF MONEY FOR THIS EVENT.
SO, YOU KNOW, LIKE I SAID BEFORE,
IT'S ALL ABOUT BEING A PROFESSIONAL.
[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS, LAUGHTER ]
Narrator: THOUGH HE'S WELL ACQUAINTED
WITH THE ROUTINES OF FIGHT WEEK,
FLOYD'S NEVER BEEN QUITE LIKE THIS,
LIMITING ACCESS TO HIS CORE GROUP
AND ELIMINATING DISTRACTIONS.
GET THESE FANS. GO DOWN THERE AND GET THEM FANS.
WHOEVER THEM PEOPLE IS, GO DOWN THERE AND CLEAR THAT OUT.
CLEAR THEM OUT. CLEAR THEM OUT.
SOMEONE ASKED ME A QUESTION THE OTHER DAY.
WHAT'S MORE IMPORTANT -- HAVING AN UNDEFEATED RECORD
OR, YOU KNOW, A 9-FIGURE PAYDAY?
I MEAN, I SAID, "MY CHILDREN CAN'T EAT IN THE BOXING RING
FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES."
IT'S BUSINESS FOR ME.
Buffer: HELLO, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!
DO WE HAVE ANY MAYWEATHER FANS IN THE HOUSE?
[ AUDIENCE BOOING, CHEERING ]
DO WE HAVE ANY PACQUIAO FANS IN THE HOUSE?
Crowd: [ Chanting ] MANNY! MANNY!
MANNY! MANNY! MANNY! MANNY! MANNY!
Narrator: A DAY BEFORE THE FIGHT,
MAYWEATHER FANS AND PACQUIAO FANS COME TOGETHER
IN ANOTHER FIRST -- A SOLD-OUT WEIGH-IN.
WHILE FLOYD MAY BE THE HOMETOWN FIGHTER,
IT'S NOT A HOMETOWN CROWD.
[ AUDIENCE BOOING, CHEERING ]
Mayweather: FLOYD FIGHTS FOR FLOYD,
'CAUSE WHEN MY CAREER IS LONG GONE...
THE PEOPLE AND THE FANS AND THE CRITICS
ARE GONNA MOVE ON TO THE NEXT.
Buffer: 145 POUNDS -- MANNY "PAC-MAN" PACQUIAO!
Lennon: FLOYD MAYWEATHER WEIGHS IN AT 146 POUNDS!
Mayweather: MY CAREER IS OVER IN SEPTEMBER.
49-0.
WELL, YOU KNOW, WHEN PEOPLE TALK ABOUT BREAKING
ROCKY MARCIANO'S RECORD,
I JUST SAY THAT I'M HAPPY WITH HOW MY CAREER HAS WENT.
I'LL SLEEP COMFORTABLE EVERY NIGHT.
Man: HE'LL KNOCK THE...OUT!
HE WILL KNOCK THE...OUT!
THE BEST OF THEM! YOU'RE GONNA BEAT THIS BOY UP!
[ AUDIENCE BOOING, CHEERING ]
YOU'LL GET KNOCKED OUT, LITTLE MAN!
Gray: MANNY PACQUIAO SAID, "THANK YOU."
DID YOU RESPOND? NO.
AND I'M GOOD.
I JUST WANT TO TELL ALL YOU GUYS
THROUGHOUT THE YEARS, MAN, THANK YOU.
YOU GUYS HAVE DONE A TREMENDOUS JOB.
Man: LET'S GO, STONE! LET'S GO, STONE!
LET'S GO, BABY! YOU DON'T WANT IT!
YOU'LL GET KNOCKED THE...OUT!
Woman: HE'S NOT READY! THAT'S WHY HE'S DOING ALL THAT EXTRA STUFF!
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
Woman: I NEED YOU SIGN IN BOTH PLACES, DATE IN BOTH PLACES.
YOU'RE GONNA TURN THIS OVER. START WITH YOUR NAME.
ANSWER THE QUESTIONS TRUTHFULLY AND HONESTLY
AND WITH YOUR SIGNATURE.
HAVE YOUR CORNERMAN SIGN AND PRINT HIS NAME.
THIS IS WHERE YOU WANT YOUR MONEY SENT BACK.
DO YOU WANT A CHAIR?
YEAH. THANK YOU.
HERE. YOU CAN JUST SIT HERE.
NO ONE ELSE IS COMING BEHIND YOU.
Narrator: PRIOR TO THE BOUT,
THE FIGHTERS ARE REQUIRED TO FILL OUT A SERIES OF FORMS.
ALL PREVIOUS AND ONGOING MEDICAL CONDITIONS
MUST BE DISCLOSED
TO THE NEVADA STATE ATHLETIC COMMISSION.
WHICH M.R.I. I HAD?
I GOT AN M.R.I. BEFORE FOR MY HEAD,
BUT FROM WHICH FIGHT WAS THAT?
Man: WASN'T THAT VICTOR ORTIZ?
I'M GONNA SAY -- I'M JUST GONNA PUT "YES."
30 HOURS BEFORE THE MAIN EVENT,
NEITHER FIGHTER DECLARES AN INJURY
THAT WOULD BE CAUSE FOR CURRENT CONCERN.

WILL ANSWER THE QUESTION...

...WHO IS THE BEST FIGHTER OF THIS GENERATION?

[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS ]
Mayweather: I WAS ALWAYS THE DREAMER.
I WAS ALWAYS A BELIEVER,
AND NOW THIS IS THE BIGGEST FIGHT IN BOXING HISTORY.
I WANT PEOPLE TO BE A PART OF THIS WITH ME,
BE A PART OF THIS WITH HIM, ALSO.
THIS IS HISTORY.
WHEN IT'S ALL SAID AND DONE,
IT COMES DOWN TO THE TWO FIGHTERS.
WHAT TIME WE WANT? WHAT TIME WE START WALKING?
Woman: I'M TRYING TO FIND OUT.
NO, NO, I CAN GO ON ANYTIME, ANYWHERE, BUT THIS IS MY SHOW,
SO I DICTATE THAT.
WELL, THEN, BE READY BY 8:00.
NO, I'M NOT GONNA BE READY BY 8:00.
I'M GONNA BE READY BY 8:00-SOMETHING.
Narrator: NEGOTIATIONS FOR THIS BIGGEST OF ALL FIGHTS
INVOLVE THE SMALLEST OF ALL DETAILS,
RIGHT DOWN TO THE HAND WRAPS.
[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS ]
WE USE ONE ROLL OF TAPE FOR BOTH HANDS?
MM-HMM.
DAMN.
AS IS CUSTOMARY, A MEMBER OF THE OPPOSING CAMP
IS PERMITTED TO INSPECT.
IN THIS CASE, PACQUIAO'S HEAD TRAINER, FREDDIE ROACH,
HAS ELECTED TO PERFORM THE DUTY HIMSELF.
I'M GONNA START.
THAT TAPE IS TOO THICK. YOU GOT TO --
HE CAN USE 2 1/2.
IN THE RULES, IT SAYS HALF-INCH ONLY.
YOU'RE ARGUING ABOUT THE TAPE,
ARGUING ABOUT MY HAND WRAP ALREADY.
WHAT'S GOING ON, FREDDIE?
YEAH, YEAH.
RIGHT HERE.
LET FREDDIE SEE 'EM.
THESE ARE TWICE AS THICK AS THE ONES WE USE.
[ SIGHS ] Y'ALL CAN USE THE ONES Y'ALL GONNA USE.
OH, MY GOD.
EVERYTHING -- THE TAPE, MY GAUZE.
THESE DON'T FEEL THICKER THAN THE ONES YOU GUYS HAVE.
OKAY.
Narrator: WAS IT A MIND GAME OR SIMPLE VIGILANCE?
IT MATTERS NOT TO FLOYD.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
EVEN AS THE ARENA IS ENGULFED IN ANTICIPATION,
FLOYD'S DEMEANOR REMAINS UNCHANGED.
Gray: YOU'VE DONE THIS SO MANY TIMES NOW -- 47.
DO YOU STILL GET NERVOUS AND ANXIOUS THIS TIME?
IT'S WORK.
YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN HERE BEFORE,
AND I KNOW WHAT IT TAKES
WHEN IT'S A FIGHT OF THIS MAGNITUDE.
Lennon: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, HERE WE GO!
THE WAIT IS OVER!
IT'S "GO" TIME!
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
Pacquiao: EXCITED FOR -- FOR THIS FIGHT.
IT'S BEEN, YOU KNOW, SIX YEARS WAITING FOR THIS FIGHT,
AND, FINALLY, IT'S HAPPENING,
AND I HAVE SOMETHING TO PROVE.
Buffer: "PAC-MAN" PACQUIAO!
Bernstein: MANNY PACQUIAO IS AS RELAXED AND AS ENGAGING
LEADING IN TO THIS FIGHT AS WE'VE EVER SEEN HIM.
THIS CROWD'S A PRO-MANNY PACQUIAO CROWD.
Lennon: AND NOW HERE IS BOXING'S
UNDISPUTED NUMBER-ONE ATTRACTION,
FLOYD "MONEY" MAYWEATHER!
Lampley: IF MAYWEATHER WAS SAYING HE'S TIRED OF BOXING,
HE'S NOT TIRED OF A NIGHT LIKE THIS, TRUST ME.
GREAT FIGHTERS, GREAT ATHLETES, LIVE FOR MOMENTS LIKE THIS.
Mayweather: I KNOW HOW TO FIGHT.
I KNOW HOW TO WIN.
THIS BIG STAGE WAS MADE FOR ME.
IT GETS NO BIGGER THAN FLOYD MAYWEATHER.
Lennon: FIVE YEARS IN THE MAKING,
AND THE TIME HAS COME
FOR THE BOUT YOU'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR!
I WANT YOU TO KEEP THIS FIGHT CLEAN AT ALL TIMES,
SHOW GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP,
PROTECT YOURSELVES AT ALL TIMES,
AND WHAT I SAY, YOU MUST OBEY!
GOOD LUCK TO BOTH OF YOU!
TOUCH 'EM UP! GOD BLESS!
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
FOR YEARS, FANS HAVE BEEN CLAMORING
FOR THIS VERY MATCHUP
WITH LITTLE HOPE OF IT EVER HAPPENING,
YET HERE WE ARE ON THE PRECIPICE OF HISTORY --
MAYWEATHER VERSUS PACQUIAO!
[ BELL RINGS ] FINALLY!
Koraun: WHOO!
YOU GOT THIS, DAD!
IT'S TIME TO FIGHT, BABY!
Jones: IF FLOYD STARTS OUT STRONG,
THIS IS GONNA GET EMBARRASSING.
FREDDIE ROACH TOLD US
HE THINKS MAYWEATHER'S GONNA COME OUT QUICK.
YEAH! YEAH! YEP! YEP!
ON YOUR TOES! ON YOUR TOES! LET'S GO!
BOOM!
THAT'S A SECOND RIGHT HAND BY MAYWEATHER,
ON TARGET AND WITH MENACE.
LOOKS LIKE HE CAME TO FIGHT IN THE FIRST ROUND FOR A CHANGE.
[ BELL DINGS ]
Crowd: [ Chanting ] T.B.E.! T.B.E.!
T.B.E.!
KEEP AFTER HIM, MAN. KEEP AFTER HIM.
FEINT SOMETIME, MAN. POP, POP, POP, HEY!
TOUCH HIM. FEINT HIM AND TOUCH HIM, OKAY?
YEAH, WE NEED TO FEINT A LITTLE BIT MORE
LET THE HEAD MOVE AS YOU'RE GOING IN, RIGHT?
JUST DON'T WALK IN, OKAY, SON? ALL RIGHT?
HEAD MOVEMENT, FEINTS. ALL RIGHT? WORK HIM.
Bernstein: PACQUIAO IS STARTING TO DANCE A LITTLE.
HE'S SEEING SOME OPENINGS.
Lampley: SEE THERE? DOUBLE JAB!
HE GOES AGAINST THE ROPES.
YOU GOT TO KEEP JABBING, FLOYD! KEEP JABBING!
STAY AFTER HIM. COME ON.
THE WAY PACQUIAO'S REACTING, MAYWEATHER'S RIGHT HAND
IS STRONGER THAN HE GETS CREDIT FOR,
AND THE TIMING IS FLAWLESS.
OH, HE BROKE THEM OFF. YEAH, THAT'S WHAT IT WAS!
HIT HIM ON TOP! HIT HIM ON TOP!
GO KICK HIS...MAN!
NOW GO AND GET THAT... OUT YOUR...WAY.
Bernstein: AGAINST A GUY LIKE MAYWEATHER,
THE LAST THING YOU WANT TO DO IS TRY TO BEAT HIM
BY COMING IN ON A STRAIGHT LINE.
Lampley: IT'S THE FOOTWORK OF MANNY PACQUIAO THAT'S THE BIG ISSUE.
NO FOOT MOVEMENT FROM HIM WHILE TRYING TO ATTACK TODAY.
BUT -- OH! -- HE JUST LANDED A LEFT HAND,
AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT HURT MAYWEATHER!
[ WOMAN SHOUTS INDISTINCTLY ]
[ SHOUTS INDISTINCTLY ]
Roach: HEY, COME ON! GO!
PUT HIM ON THE ROPES! PUT HIM ON THE ROPES!
AT LEAST PACQUIAO LOOKS LIKE
HE MIGHT GET ON THE BOARD HERE WITH A ROUND, THAT'S FOR SURE.
PACQUIAO FANS HERE IN THE ARENA ARE GOING NUTS!
WOW! HARD RIGHT HAND BY PAC-MAN!
WELL, WE ALL WANTED EXCITEMENT IN THIS FIGHT,
AND WE GOT SOME IN THAT ROUND.
A DEFENSIVE SPECIALIST AS GOOD AS FLOYD MAYWEATHER
IS RARELY ON THE RECEIVING END OF A GOOD, CLEAN SHOT.
[ BELL DINGS ]
BUT PACQUIAO JUST LANDED A SOLID LEFT HAND
THAT SURE LOOKED LIKE IT HURT.
LET'S GO, ALL RIGHT?
WHEN YOU HAVE HIM NEAR THE ROPES,
YOU HAVE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF HIM ON THE ROPES, OKAY?
WE'RE NOT GONNA -- MAN, YOU FIGHTING LIKE YOU SCARED, MAN!
GOT TO FIGHT, MAN, LIKE YOU FIGHT -- LIKE YOU FIGHT!
SO IF THEY'RE GONNA GIVE HIM ONE ROUND 'CAUSE HE LANDED ONE ONCE,
THAT'S...UP.
IN THE CORNER, BELIEVE IT OR NOT,
FLOYD SR. IS URGING HIS SON TO BE MORE AGGRESSIVE
AND IS ACTUALLY SAYING THAT HE'S FIGHTING SCARED.
REALLY?
FIGHTING SCARED?
IT LOOKS TO ME LIKE MONEY MAY IS TOTALLY DOMINATING THE ACTION.
BOOM!
PACQUIAO'S THE AGGRESSOR
BUT NOT THE EFFECTIVE AGGRESSOR THUS FAR.
YOU HAVE TO SCORE WITH YOUR EYES, NOT YOUR EARS.
AT A BIG FIGHT LIKE THIS,
FANS REACT TO EVERY PUNCH, WHETHER IT LANDS OR NOT.
MAYWEATHER IS IN HIS GROOVE,
TOTALLY IN CHARGE AND EXECUTING WITH COMPLETE CONFIDENCE,
WHILE PACQUIAO SEEMS CONFUSED
AND DEVOID OF ANY KIND OF GAME PLAN.
FLOYD MAYWEATHER'S USING IT AS A VERY GOOD DEFENSIVE TOOL,
BUT HE HOLDS EVERY TIME PACQUIAO GETS IN THERE.
WILL HE GET WARNED FOR THAT?
[ LAUGHS ] REALLY? COME ON, REF!
KENNY, CAN YOU WATCH THE ELBOWS, PLEASE?
BE CAREFUL WITH THE ELBOWS.
CAREFUL WITH THE ELBOWS, OKAY? HERE WE GO.
YOU'VE GOT THIS!
Bernstein: FOR A MAN WHO'S EARNED A REPUTATION
FOR EFFECTIVE AGGRESSION, FOR CLEAN COMBINATIONS,
MANNY PACQUIAO IS WHIFFING A LOT TONIGHT.
OVERRATED! WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO SCREAM IT.
OH, WE'RE GONNA GET HIM. WE'RE GONNA GET HIM.
I'M LOSING? NO, I'M JUST TELLING YOU -- I AIN'T SAYING YOU'RE LOSING.
YOU NEED TO PICK IT UP, THOUGH, 'CAUSE THEY FAVORING HIM.
OKAY. YOU KNOW THAT, RIGHT?
YOU STAY WHUPPING ON HIS...MAN.
I'M TRYING TO TELL YOU, DON'T KEEP MESSING AROUND.
COME ON! PRESS HIM! PRESS HIM!
FLOYD'S GOT TO KEEP WORKING THE JABS.
SEND HIM BACK, BOY! SEND HIM BACK!
HANDS UP AND COAST IN!
WHAT ABOUT THE JAB?!
YOU'RE DOING EVERYTHING GREAT!
WELL, IF YOU'RE WONDERING,
FLOYD MAYWEATHER'S 17-0 IN 12-ROUND FIGHTS,
AND PACQUIAO'S 11-2-1,
AND FLOYD MAYWEATHER STARTED AT THIS ROUND
LIKE HE WANTS TO MAKE SURE IT'S 18-0.
AS THE CLOCK WINDS DOWN HERE
AT THE MGM GRAND GARDEN ARENA IN LAS VEGAS
FOR THE BIGGEST FIGHT OF THIS GENERATION,
IT'S BEEN ANOTHER QUINTESSENTIAL FLOYD MAYWEATHER PERFORMANCE,
AS HE IS CLEARLY ENJOYING HIMSELF,
TAKING MANNY PACQUIAO TO THE SCHOOL OF THE SWEET SCIENCE.
[ BELL DINGS ]
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
I LOVE YOU, MAN. NO MATTER WHAT, I LOVE YOU.
[ Voice breaking ] LISTEN, MY MAN.
[ SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY ]
I LOVE YOU.
I LOVE YOU, MAN.
HE DIDN'T THROW A LOT OF PUNCHES --
NOT LIKE HOW HE USUALLY THROWS 'EM.
HE DIDN'T THROW NO PUNCHES LIKE THAT.
THERE WERE SPORADIC MOMENTS FOR MANNY PACQUIAO,
AND A COUPLE OF ROUNDS THAT I THINK MAKE A STRONG CASE
FOR HIM TO WIN,
BUT TO GO BEYOND THAT, IT WOULD SEEM DIFFICULT.
I KNOW I WON! I KNOW I WON!
I KNOW I WON! I KNOW I WON!
THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT! YOU DID GREAT, DAD!
YOU DON'T LIKE IT? WHAT'D I DO?
YOU DON'T LIKE IT?
GIVE ME ONE OF THOSE! STRAP ME UP!
[ BELL DINGS ]
LADIES AND GENTLEMAN, AFTER 12 ROUNDS OF BOXING,
WE GO TO THE SCOREBOARDS.
Lennon: ALL THREE IN FAVOR OF THE WINNER...
AND STILL UNDEFEATED...
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
FLOYD "MONEY" MAYWEATHER!
THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKIN' ABOUT RIGHT THERE!
WHO?! WHO?! WHO?!
WHO'D THEY SAY?! WHO?!
FOR THE MAN WHO'S CLAIMED TO BE T.B.E., THE BEST EVER,
WILL CONTINUE TO BE DEBATED, I'M SURE,
BUT FOLLOWING HIS 48th STRAIGHT WIN,
HE IS NOW T.B.O.T.E. -- THE BEST OF THIS ERA.
PAC-MAN, HUH?
ALL THIS, REALLY, FOR SIX YEARS? REALLY?
Man: GREAT FIGHT!
GREAT FIGHT!
[ SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY ]
GOOD SHOW, GOOD SHOW, GOOD SHOW, GOOD SHOW.
IT'S ALL IN A DAY'S WORK. ALL DAY.
THE FIGHT REALLY DIDN'T LIVE UP TO THE EXPECTATION AND THE HYPE
BECAUSE FLOYD JUST MADE IT LOOK SO EASY.
T.B.E.!
I'M HAPPY. I'M SO HAPPY.
I'M SO HAPPY, TOO.
SO, THIS IS PACQUIAO'S BELT RIGHT HERE.
TOOK HIS BELT.
I'M 38, BABY!
STILL GOING LIKE THAT? THEY SAY YOU'RE AN OLD MAN!
I'M JUST SPINNING. YOU'RE AN OLD MAN!
I'M JUST SPINNING. I CAN'T TELL! I CAN'T EVEN TELL!
I'M JUST SPINNING AND PIVOTING,
JABBING HIM UP AND DOWN AND RIPPING HIM UP.
I GOT TO BE SMART.
OLD MAN! STILL DOING IT, HUH?
WRAP ME UP.
IF Y'ALL DON'T KNOW WHAT A $100-MILLION CHECK LOOK LIKE, I CAN SHOW YOU.
[ LAUGHTER, CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS ]
Narrator: AFTER ALL THESE YEARS,
A LOPSIDED, UNANIMOUS DECISION SEEMED ANTICLIMACTIC.
Pacquiao: I DID MY BEST,
BUT MY BEST WASN'T GOOD ENOUGH.
Narrator: IF PACQUIAO'S PERFORMANCE
LEFT SOMETHING TO BE DESIRED,
THE FIGHTER HIMSELF HAD AN EXPLANATION,
MAKING A SURPRISING ADMISSION AT THE POST-FIGHT PRESS CONFERENCE.
Pacquiao: THREE WEEKS BEFORE THE FIGHT,
WE WENT TO M.R.I.,
AND THERE'S A-A TEAR IN MY RIGHT SHOULDER.
BUT WE JUST COULDN'T BE AS CONSISTENT AS WE WANTED TO BE
BECAUSE THE SHOULDER DID START HURTING MORE.
AND, YOU KNOW, THE JAB AND THE UPPERCUT WAS OKAY,
BUT THE HOOK WAS A LITTLE HARD FOR HIM TO THROW.
GREAT JOB, DAD.
Mayweather: EXCUSES, EXCUSES, EXCUSES.
I'M NOT GONNA BUY IN TO THE BULL...
AND I DON'T WANT THE PUBLIC TO BUY IN TO THE BULL...
WE'RE CHAMPIONS.
A REAL CHAMPION CAN FIGHT THROUGH ANYTHING --
NO EXCUSES.
WE GET TO WHERE WE ARE BY MAKING SACRIFICES.
Aguilar: WE WERE NOT AWARE OF THE INJURY
UNTIL TONIGHT AT 6:30.
IT WAS NEVER DISCLOSED TO THE COMMISSION AT THE WEIGH-IN
OR ON THE MEDICAL QUESTIONNAIRE.
SO, WE JUST WANTED TO MAKE THAT CLARIFICATION.
THANK YOU.
Mayweather: I HAD INJURIES, ALSO, GOING IN TO THIS FIGHT.
BOTH OF MY ARMS WAS INJURED. BOTH OF MY HANDS WAS INJURED.
BUT, LIKE I SAID BEFORE, I WILL ALWAYS FIND A WAY TO WIN.
I'M TRULY BLESSED TO BE WHERE I'M AT.
I WON. I KNOW I WON.
I KNOW I'M THE BETTER FIGHTER.
WE FIGHT 10 TIMES, I'M GONNA WIN 10 TIMES.
WE FIGHT 20 TIMES, I'M GONNA WIN 20 TIMES.
WE FIGHT 100 TIMES, I'M GONNA WIN 100 TIMES.
MANNY PACQUIAO, JUST -- HE'S NOT A BETTER FIGHTER THAN ME.
Man: FLOYD, DO YOU ANTICIPATE
THAT YOU WOULD FIGHT MANNY PACQUIAO AGAIN?
IT HASN'T EVEN BEEN TWO HOURS, AND ONCE AGAIN,
Y'ALL THROWING ME RIGHT BACK IN THE BATTLE.
IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN,
EVERYONE WAS SAYING FOR YEARS I WAS SCARED
AND "FLOYD WILL LOSE"
AND "FLOYD IS A COWARD, FLOYD IS A CHICKEN."
YOU GUYS WROTE ALL THOSE STORIES.
AND ALL I WANT YOU GUYS TO DO -- I MADE YOU GUYS EAT YOUR WORDS.
AND YOU KNOW I MADE YOU GUYS EAT YOUR WORDS.
SO TOMORROW, WHEN Y'ALL WRITE THE ST--
TOMORROW, WHEN Y'ALL WRITE THEM STORIES...
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
...I WANT Y'ALL TO SAY, "THE NON-BELIEVERS --
FLOYD MAYWEATHER TURNED US INTO BELIEVERS."
WRITE THAT TOMORROW.
I WORKED MY WHOLE LIFE --
MY WHOLE LIFE --
TO GET TO THIS POINT,
AND NO ONE IS TAKING THIS AWAY FROM ME.
Narrator: THOSE ROOTING FOR HIS FIRST DEFEAT,
FOR THE BLOODY SPECTACLE
OR A KNOCKOUT,
WERE TREATED TO SOMETHING ELSE --
MORE SUBTLE, PERHAPS,
BUT NO LESS DEFINITIVE.
IT ENDED AS IT BEGAN --
WITH MAYWEATHER IMPOSING HIS WILL.
Mayweather: THERE'S A DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN A GREAT FIGHTER
AND T.B.E., AND I PROVED...
THAT I'M THE BEST.
Narrator: WAS IT HIS BIGGEST VICTORY
OR MERELY HIS MOST LUCRATIVE?
FOR THE BEST FIGHTER IN THE WORLD,
THAT QUESTION IS ALREADY MOOT.
IT'S NOT WHO HE'S BEATEN...
BUT WHO HE'LL BEAT NEXT.
