Mayweather vs. Pacquiao live updates

Post-fight

1:10: Signing off. Thanks everyone for following along. Get some sleep, and we'll meet back at SportingNews.com tomorrow, cool?

1:05: There were some serious issues with pay-per-view tonight. Hopefully you're not still on hold with Time Warner.

12:57: Mayweather, for what it's worth, confirmed that he will not retire. Plans to fight again in September.

12:56: Pacquiao in post-fight interview tells Max Kellerman he feels like he won. Tough to find anyone who would agree.

Final

Your winner, by unanimous decision,  Floyd Mayweather.

12:48: They hug. That was nice. Early stats tell a clear story.

Round 12

12:43:  It's over. They went the distance. Pacquiao raises his hands, but most have it scored for Mayweather.

Round 11

12:40: Mayweather now in full-on "dance away" mode after coming out of his corner with a flurry of punches. Floyd likely leading but it remains close. Buckle up for the final round.

12:39: The story you all really want — Jimmy Kimmel dressed up as Justin Bieber in prefight .

Round 10

12:37: Another round for Floyd, who's spent more time in control than not.

12:34:  Pacquiao finally does a bit of damage as he gets Mayweather into the ropes.

Round 9

12:31: Most experts believe Mayweather is in control with three rounds to go. Pacquiao the clear aggressor but not landing nearly enough punches. Mayweather seems unfazed.

Round 8

12:30: These scores are all over the place, but I'm seeing mostly Manny in Round 8.  Very, very close overall. Four to go, folks.

12:27: Pacquiao turning up the aggression, lands a pair of hard lefts early in the round.

Round 7

12:26: Another round for #TheMoneyTeam, but it remains tight. Don't say we didn't warn you if this happens: 

12:23:  Spoke too soon — many had a split or Pacquiao in the last round. Mayweather remains ahead on most cards. Early action in Round 7 looks like a strange, shirtless game of tag.

Round 6

12:22: Floyd is taking over, so here's a Vine of him eating a punch.

12:19:  Pacquiao unleashing body blows — Mayweather looks up and shakes his head. Actually mocking him now.

Round 5

12:15: Easy round for Mayweather, who is putting distance between himself and Pacquiao on most of the unofficial ringside cards.

Round 4

12:14: Score that round for Manny. Different cards now diverging, but most still giving overall edge to Mayweather.

12:11: Pacquiao is TEARING into Mayweather with the first furious series of punches. Floyd officially paying attention to the proceedings.

Round 3

12:10: Looks like Pac gets Round 3. That's 2-1 in favor of MM. We've got a great one building. Action picking up quickly.

12:07: Manny going to the body and landing punches early. Those yellow trunks are moving in with every opportunity.

Round 2

12:06: Pacquiao missing most of his punches but getting more aggressive. My sources are scoring this 2-0 in favor of Mayweather.

12:04: Shouts of "Manny! Manny!" following a nice body shot. Mayweather wrapping up early and often.

Round 1

12:02: Consensus among boxing experts is a solid round for both, but edge to Floyd. Had all the excitement of Lap No. 1 in a NASCAR race.

Midnight: We're underway. This thing actually is happening. 

A lot of jabbing, but a single lead right landing early from Mayweather. Put on another pot of coffee because this is likely to be a long one.

Prefight

11:57 p.m.: Mayweather got crushed by fans in the introduction. And here we go!

11:51 p.m.: Never mind. Your prefight winner is Jimmy Kimmel, who dressed up as a member of Run-D.M.C.

11:48 p.m.: Tonight's early crowd pleaser? The scary-ass Burger King guy.

11:46 p.m.: There's a decidedly Pro-Manny vibe going around.

11:37 p.m.: It's anthem time. We'll go Mexico, then Philippines, then USA. The feed I'm watching is in Spanish, so bear with me, por favor.

11:28 p.m.: Just waiting around, surely something wilHEY IT'S MICHAEL JORDAN!

11:17 p.m.: Looks like this pay-per-view issue is going to delay the fight 45 minutes. Where's the coffee?

11:02 p.m.: The undercard is over — #MayPac coming up next.

Meanwhile, the oh-so-costly pay-per-view isn't working so well, and with just one hour to go until fight time, people are freaking out on Twitter.
