Mayweather led on all three judges’ scorecards(87-83, 89-82, 89-81) at the time of stoppage. According to Compubox, Floyd landed 58 percent of his power shots.

The fight gate broke the all-time record of $72 million by netting in $80 million as stated by Mayweather. This comes even as both fighters were guaranteed a combined earning of $130 million even before commencement of the fight.

However, the fight was not a sell-out due to largely over-priced tickets as only 14,623 were in attendance in the 20,000-capacity arena.

The star-studded fight was watched live by A-list celebrities such as Jennifer Lopez, basketball star Lebron James and Bruce Willis.

Meanwhile, Mayweather has declared this as his last professional match as he retires
