Reception
Mayweather's assistant trainer (his father) advised him onto a very defensive strategy, saying that "the less you get hit, the longer you last". This style of fighting elicited boos from the crowd especially during the 11th and 12th round when Floyd may have believed he had the score "locked up" already and didn't need to win any more rounds, saying that "When you're up on the cards, box smart."[3][4][5][6]
Fight earnings
Floyd Mayweather equaled his own all time base purse record with a guaranteed $32 million.[7] Robert Guerrero was guaranteed $3 million.[8]
