The Filipino fighter believes his opponent was on the run, even though the Money Man ran out a 118-110, 116-112 and 116-112 victor.

Manny Pacquiao claims he beat Floyd Mayweather in their Las Vegas showdown, despite a majority points decision in favour of the American. He said: “I thought I won the fight. He didn’t do anything.

“He was moving around on the outside, so it’s not easy to throw a lot of punches.

“I could handle his power. I have fought bigger than him and not had a problem.”

Mayweather’s tactics were criticised as he sat back and nullified the threat of his rival.

“I’m a calculated fighter – I outboxed him,” the 38-year-old hit back. “We did what we had to do.

“I take my hat off to him. He’s at the pinnacle of boxing and had moments in the fight.”
