4. POSSE UP

Not surprisingly, Justin Bieber was in Mayweather’s posse on fight night, walking behind the the boxer as he walked out to the ring. What was surprising was Bieber’s choice of attire for the evening. The pop star looked classy in a suit, a contrast to Jimmy Kimmel’s Run DMC-inspired outfit as he followed Manny Pacquiao.

5. THE RESULT
Early rounds went back and forth between the two fighters, but Floyd Mayweather fairly dominated the fight from the first jab, landing more punches in nearly every round and rarely looking threatened by Pacquiao. The commentators and unofficial judges had "Money" ahead the whole time, and the official judges agreed, awarding him the win in a unanimous decision.

Though he taunted the Pacquiao-friendly crowd before and after his win was announced, Mayweather had nothing but compliments for his opponent in his post-fight interview, calling him a "tough competitor" and a "true champion at heart."

6. THE MONEY
Mayweather walked away with far more than a title after his 48th career victory, so it's not surprising that the fighter thanked his sponsors in his post-game interview. The boxer stood to potentially earn $180 million from the fight Saturday, or roughly $83,000 per second, more than most top-caliber pro athletes will earn in their entire career.

7. WHAT'S NEXT
Mayweather has one more fight left on his contract with CBS and Showtime, after which, the boxer reinforced in his post-game interview, he plans to "hang it up," ideally with a record of 49-0. Of this long-awaited fight, Mayweather said simply, "When the history books are written, it was worth the wait."
