Mayweather win over Maidana a ‘disgrace’ says Donald Trump

Floyd Mayweather Jr. on Saturday (Sunday, PHL time) improved his undefeated record to 46-0 after dispatching Argentine Marcos Maidana, but one famous boxing fan felt “Money” didn’t deserve to pick up the majority decision - business magnate Donald Trump.

NO WAY, JUDGES SAY MAYWEATHER WON. INVESTIGATION SHOULD TAKE PLACE. FIX?

The ring announcers are working hard to justify the Mayweather victory. They should be ashamed of themselves! A TOTAL JOKE.

Posting on his verified Twitter account @realDonaldTrump, Trump was in disbelief, tweeting “NO WAY, JUDGES SAY MAYWEATHER WON. INVESTIGATION SHOULD TAKE PLACE. FIX?

Trump called the decision a “disgrace,” and described the scene at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, tweeting, “Crowd is booing the hell out of that phony decision - place is angry and going wild. Fight was not even close! DISGUSTING.

“The ring announcers are working hard to justify the Mayweather victory. They should be ashamed of themselves! A TOTAL JOKE.”

While the fight was going on, Trump seemed sure that Mayweather was headed for his first loss, saying “Mayweather is being beaten up badly through 10 rounds by Marcos Maidana, but announcers say it is even.”

He later added, “Fight is over - Mayweather lost big - but lets see what judges say!”

Trump has 2.59 million followers on the microblogging site. His tweet that the fight was possibly fixed got 2,605 retweets as of posting.

There is a possibility though that the two will battle again come September. In the post-fight interview, Maidana said, “I definitely feel like I won this fight. Floyd did not fight like a man, like I expected him to.”

Floyd: 'If he feel he won, he can get it again in September.' #boxing #MayweatherMaidana
