Floyd Mayweather easily retained the world welterweight championship with a one-sided beatdown of interim titlist Robert Guerrero on Saturday night before a crowd of 15,880 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.
Guerrero had called out for Mayweather to fight him for the past couple of years.
All three judges, Jerry Roth, Duane Ford and Julie Lederman, scored it 117-111 for Mayweather. ESPN.com had it 119-109 for Mayweather.
The fight was the first for Mayweather under a 30-month deal he signed with Showtime/CBS – after leaving longtime TV home HBO – that could see him fight up to six times and earn $200 million-plus.
He earned a minimum of $32 million, tying his own record for biggest purse in boxing history.
His next date is Sept. 14, also at the MGM Grand. Information from Espn.com contributed to this report.
