Ian Harrison says:

After watching this fight, how anyone can say Mayweather won this fight on the skill of his boxing could not be further than the truth. If he is such a great "boxer", why whenever Pacquiao was unleashing an attack did he not "Box" his way out of trouble? instead of using last ditch tactics like grabbing and holding opponents , or failing that just run away. The only people who hit and run away are cowards. I think Mayweather chose his fighting technique of avasive, defensive wrestling with the occasional jab is because if he was drawn into an actual toe to toe boxing match, he would probably lose. People might think that's untrue and he would have won by doing that anyway......so why didn't he? People paid a lot of money to see a boxing match between 2 boxers. Only one of them boxed. Just because you avoid losing doesn't mean you win.

This nutshells it, for me. People may not know a lot about boxing, but they know what they like: Email from Ben Lawrence:

II don't know a whole lot about boxing and that's the first full fight I've seen, but I think the points system must be flawed. I think it's pretty obvious who should've won when the decision comes through and an entire packed PUB boos

Few more mails. Here's Don De Lathouwer

I felt Paquio was the aggressor throughout the fight while Mayweather was forced into a defensive flight/fight. I felt Manny was the winner of this fight and was robbed of a victory.

Bevan Sisson says:

Just watched in chch new zealand. Admit I dont know much about boxing. But in the school yard if the guy your fighting punches you in the face more than you do. You win.

An email from Dave Ellis:

I am glad to see that others saw the fight and the horrendous decision the way I did. Manny Pacquiao so clearly dominated all of the early rounds that by the end of the 7th round, I felt certain that Mayweather would need to score a KO to win. Mayweather did not land a single solid punch until the 3rd round, in contrast to the many good shots that Pacquiao got in. Mayweather swung and missed many times, but most often, he was either running away or cringing against the ropes. The only round that was close to even was the 11th. The judges returned a unanimous decision that was the exact opposite of reality. I am absolutely disgusted by this!!!

And yet on the other hand, Here is Jordan. Not that one, persumably.

Let me get something straight. FM won fair and square, I agree that FM didn't throw a lot of punched, but when he did throw punches he landed them almost every time. I think MP is a great boxer but FM won.
