The aftermath of the mega-fight between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao is burdened with tons of controversy.
It is dealing with dissatisfaction from fans that complained of lack of action in the ring and the recent revelation of Pacquiao?s injury before Saturday?s bout at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.
Another controversy that has been circulating involved errors in the scorecards that were printed out and handed to the media after the fight.
There is confusion from what is an error on the corner assignment (Red versus Blue) of both fighters in the sheet.
But it was simply an oversight on one sheet as per the Nevada State Athletic Commission.
?There was a simple error on the master sheet but nowhere else,? stated a representative from NSAC who responded to an email inquiry by Philboxing.com.
NSAC furnished Philboxing.com a copy of the judges? scorecards of each round which clearly showed the right corner for both fighters.
All cards validated the official and announced scores of 118-119(Judge Dave Moretti), 116-112 (Burt Clemens), and 116-112 (Glenn Feldman) in favor of Mayweather Jr.
