Manny Pacquiao Bored by Mayweather Retirement Fight Against Andre Berto (VIDEO)
Filipino boxing champion Manny Pacquiao claimed boredom during last weekend's match between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Andre Berto.
With Floyd Mayweather Jr. defeating Haitian-American challenger Andre Berto during their welterweight and super welterweight championship bout at the Las Vegas MGM Grand last Saturday, Mayweather's previous opponent, Filipino fighter, Manny Pacquiao declared it to be a boring match.
Pacquiao, who viewed the fight from home, posted an Instagram video of himself playing a piano app on his smartphone to counteract what he appeared to find a lackluster fight.

Lying on his bed with his head pillowed on one hand, his other hand tapped out a series of notes on the keyboard display of his mobile phone, with the eight-division world champion smiling at the camera, seemingly proud of his musical performance while the Mayweather-Berto fight presumably played on pay-per-view beyond the camera's range.
Mayweather, who earlier announced his May 2 superfight with the Filipino fighter would be his last before he retired, agreed to take on two-time welterweight world champion Andre Berto in a bout which he once again claimed to be his last.
Mayweather won the match on Saturday, 120-108, 118-110, and 117-111, which was telecast via Showtime's PPV.
It is speculated Pacquiao's Instagram video was a subtle bid to get a rematch with Mayweather following his loss to the undefeated champion in May.
Golden Boy Productions' promoter and former boxing Olympian, Oscar de la Hoya, who lost to Mayweather in May 2007, also announced his boredom over the fight by posting several scathing posts on his Twitter account, calling Mayweather's supposed retirement fight the end of the "worst boxing era," and expressing his relief at deciding to watch Disney movies with his children instead of the match.
Mayweather had earlier bashed his critics for constantly finding fault in his actions, confirmed once more the Berto fight would be his last, and that he was looking into starting a movie career afterwards.
