Twitter went abuzz after the Fight of the Century ended with Floyd Mayweather winning by Unanimous Decision. The bout left many boxing fans disappointed. Read post here.
One notable reaction was that of boxing star Evander Holyfield who expressed his thoughts on what boxing fights should be – not running, but boxing; obviously referring to how Mayweather “ran” and “hugged”, while Pacquiao kept pursuing him.
Here are some of the funniest and not so funny tweets of Netizens from all over the world. One is that of Jim Carrey the Funny Man.

@FloydMayweather you are supposed to hug your woman & hit the guy in the ring. Not the other way around #MayPac #RoyalBaby

Mayweather won because too many hugs, that's prove that love can beat everything.
