As we all are still enjoying the Mayweather exuberance, let?s dig into the stats of the fight and examine the statistical part of Mayweather?s domination. In addition to punches thrown and punches landed, Golden Boy Promotions has released some early numbers for attendance and gate figures. This fight will surely pull in some major numbers when it?s all said and done. As it stands right now Floyd Jr is guaranteed to make at least $22 million and at least $6.5 million for Mosley. Live Gate and Attendance According to Richard Schaefer, CEO of Golden Boy Promotions, the announced attendance was 15,117 and an estimated gate of over 11 million dollars. In addition to these figures, 12,448 closed circuit tickets were sold.
Compubox Stats Shane and Floyd threw about the same number of punches but the huge difference was that Floyd connected on more. Floyd landed 208/477 punches for a 44% connection, while Shane landed 92/452 punches for a 20% connection.
This disparity was clear as the fight went into the middle rounds. Shane couldn?t find an opening to land his punches while Floyd seemed to start landing everything he threw.
Floyd out-jabbed Shane all night. In fact, there were times when Shane?s head was snapped back by Floyd?s jabs. In the later rounds, Shane was trying to get in and lock up but Floyd jabbed his way into complete control. Mayweather landed 40% of his jabs compared to Shane?s 16%.
In the power department, where Shane was supposed to have the advantage, Floyd connected 123/267 power punches for a staggering 46%. Shane could only land 46/169 for a 27% connection.
As Floyd likes to say ?Men lie, women lie, but Numbers don?t lie?
Conclusion Tyrell Jackson Sacramento, CA ?What?s numbers or stats jumped out to you from the Mayweather and Mosley fight?? There?s really only one number that shines above all other numbers and that?s 41-0. Floyd might have got some of those 41 victories through dancing, ducking, running, and cherrypicking but he didn?t do any of that in his 41st fight. I?m still impressed how Floyd went punch for punch with Shane and didn?t back down. In my opinion, Floyd earned more respect from last night?s performance than in his last 5 fights. Floyd proved he could overcome the ?big punch? and that he has a tougher chin than anyone ever gave him credit for.
