50 Cent celebrates his $1.6m Floyd Mayweather Bet Win

Some of the game's biggest names were watching on as the American defeated his rival in Las Vegas to remain unbeaten

The world's football stars took a break from talking about their usual sport on Saturday to concentrate on a different one - boxing.

Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr took centre stage in Las Vegas, with the latter winning on points to remain unbeaten from 48 contests.

And the high-profile fight saw a number of football's top players - including Neymar and Wayne Rooney - get involved with their comments before, during and after the bout.

 After the fight, Joey Barton tweeted that there is one major difference between the two, insisting Mayweather is still behind Pacquiao on one thing: "Manny still has one thing Floyd will never have. Class. Difference in both interviews at the end. One talking about boxing other about watches."

The midfielder then tweeted "Mayweather" with three fist emojis after he was declared victor.

Australia star Tim Cahill says he correctly predicted the outcome of the fight, tweeting: "Well I called Mayweather to win on points. Respect to both fighters. Mayweather is an exceptional athlete and still CHAMPION."
