Twitter unimpressed as Floyd Mayweather goes out with ‘boring’ victory over Andre Berto

Floyd Mayweather Jr says his career is over, but if this was his final fight it fell far short of the memorable exit he might have hoped for.

'Money' coasted to a convincing points victory over Andre Berto, defending his WBA and WBC welterweight titles and moving his record to 49-0, matching the unbeaten streak of former heavyweight champ Rocky Marciano. And, just like Marciano, Mayweather followed through on his plan to announce his retirement from the sport following 12 one-sided rounds in Las Vegas. But despite the historic nature of the fight, there seemed to be little buzz surrounding it, with the MGM Grand failing to sell out and those who did pay up to watch on TV less than impressed with another flawless, if unexciting Mayweather display.
