By Paddy Dwyer: In the aftermath of the richest fight in history there have been a number of observers who have sought to find a way to score the bout to Manny Pacquiao. For transparency, this writer scored the fight 117-111 in favor of Mayweather giving Pacquiao the fourth, sixth and twelfth rounds. There is an argument to give Floyd round twelve and an argument to give Manny round seven (or of course share these respective rounds). However, as a longtime observer of the sport, there was little on display to make a case for giving any more than four rounds to the man from the Philippines.
Scoring is inherently subjective and there have been a number of decisions over the years which have been hideous. There are also a number which, while not necessarily “robberies”, are contentious but one can understand the scorecard which was ultimately read out.
By Chris Williams: Manny Pacquiao says he’s still got a deadline until the end of January for Floyd Mayweather Jr to agree to his side of the contract and sign off on it otherwise Pacquiao will be moving on. 
By Chris Williams: Bob Arum, the promoter for WBO 147 pound champ Manny Pacquiao, is saying that the networks HBO and Showtime have already agreed to distribute the Pacquiao vs. Floyd Mayweather Jr fight if two sides can negotiate a fight. 
By Raj Parmar: Boxing superstar Manny Pacquiao seems to be growing increasingly frustrated with pound for pound king Floyd Mayweather. Talks of a super-fight between these two dominant powers in boxing have been ongoing for a few years now with the fight never coming to fruition. 
By Thomas Cowan: If you are one of many boxing fans in USA who have paid to watch Floyd Mayweather Jr and Manny Pacquiao’s fights for the best part of a decade, you will have parted with about $1000 of your hard-earned money and helped to make these two men very rich. For 5 years the boxing world has been desperate to see them fight each other and it hasn’t happened. It has to happen if either of the two greatest fighters of this era want to be seriously considered among the true boxing greats like Ray Robinson, Henry Armstrong and Muhammad Ali.
By Chris Williams: Trainer Freddie Roach says that his fighter Manny Pacquiao (55-5-2, 38 KO’s) is willing to do anything he has to in order to get the mega-fight against Floyd Mayweather Jr. (45-0, 26 KO’s) in 2014, despite Pacquiao saying recently that he has no plans on leaving his promoter Bob Arum of Top Rank in order to follow Mayweather’s instructions for him to get the fight. 
By Simon Sheppard: Floyd Mayweather Jr. said – “Pacquiao wants Floyd to solve his problems”
By Chris Williams: The well respected trainer Robert Garcia of Oxnard Gym doesn’t think Floyd Mayweather Jr. (45-0, 26 KO’s) should ever bother giving Filipino star Manny Pacquiao (55-5-2, 38 KO’s) a fight. Garcia thinks the fight should have happened years ago, and there’s no point in them fighting now. He sees Mayweather in a comfortable situation where he’s making $50 million or more per fight, and he doesn’t need to fight Pacquiao in order to make big money. It’s Pacquiao who badly needs him in order to get a huge payday.
By Chris Williams: Manny Pacquiao is seemingly discouraged with his ability to get a fight against Floyd Mayweather Jr. after learning recently that he wants Pacquiao to leave his long-time promoter Bob Arum before he’ll agree to fight him. To Pacquiao, he sees this as Mayweather Jr. not really being interested in fighting him. To top if off, Mayweather has been trash talking the 35-year-old Pacquiao as of late by saying he’s “desperate” for the fight.
