MMA fighters react to Mayweather vs. Berto on Twitter

Joe Camporeale-USA TODAY Sports

Floyd Mayweather predictably beat Andre Berto (117-111, 118-110, 120-108) in a fight that was panned going in and probably will be panned after the final bell rang. Mayweather announced his retirement -- he did this in 2007, mind you -- in the post-fight interview, so he'll hang up the gloves with a 49-0 record and 26 KOs. Perhaps fittingly, the crowd booed him as he showboated and celebrated in the final round of another comfortable victory.

Nobody expected Berto to have a chance, but he at least gave it a good effort despite connecting on just 17% of his punches to Floyd's 57%. All that said, the undercard was quite entertaining and the co-main event was an arguably Fight of the Year contender between Rocky Martinez and Orlando Salido. Here's how UFC fighters reacted to the pay-per-view on Twitter. The dearth of tweets from the real big names of the sport can illustrate the interest level in the main event.
