Floyd Mayweather versus Manny Pacquiao was a celebrity free-for-all.
The private jet lot at McCarran International looks like a D.C. traffic jam. Michael Jordan arrived on the scene. Denzel Washington sat ringside in a sweatsuit looking like he caught an Uber ride from Doc Brown to the fight. Even Verne “Mini-Me” Troyer made an appearance.
Seemingly every big name from the entertainment and sports industry was packed in sideways at the MGM Grand on Saturday night to watch what could be the final “super match” in the history of boxing. They came to ogle the last living dodo bird—an undesirable specimen, in many ways, but the only true blue chip the sport has left to offer.
We kept track of the pulse of the fight on social media. The following is how things went down, starting with the fight’s less-than-climatic ending.
The Result
Mayweather walked away with a seemingly thorough victory over Pacquiao. Unsurprisingly, some people weren’t thrilled with the end product of Mayweather’s win—another clinic in defensive tactics and precision.
Underwhelming.

@RealCJ10 Didn’t waste my money. From the sounds of it, it was money well saved.

Hope this fight did something for the sport of boxing beyond the weekend. It’s a shame to see where it was and where it is. #MayPac

And no one could believe that Pacquiao thought he won the fight.
If you expected a Floyd Mayweather fight to look any different than that, I don’t know what to tell you.

Manny says he thought he won the fight.

And then Scarlett Johansson congratulated Mayweather on Saturday Night Live! for some reason.
Commentary from the rest of the fight:
Floyd dictating fight right now. Manny can’t stay in center of ring. He’s got to jab. #MayPac
