Faced with such unfulfilled expectations, several jokes and jokes began on the internet. memes about combat. A video published on the YouTube channel “Noob Goober Gaming” used the classic game "Mike Tyson's Punch Out”, from the NES (the popular “Nintendinho”), to make a satire about the fight, with several jokes and ironies about facts surrounding the fight.
The initial menu makes fun of the years of failed negotiations for combat. “To fight with Floyd, do you accept: wearing your gloves? Fight at MGM (gym)? Take drug tests daily? Receive less money than him? Not being in your prime? Staying in the hotel basement? Sell TMT (Mayweather's team) shirts? Not having the right to a rematch?”, appears. When “no” is clicked, the game says: “Game over! Maybe next time you will agree to my conditions.”
After the “player” agrees to the conditions, the fight finally begins. Pacquiao's character attacks insistently, but without being able to reach Mayweather, who appears clearly running away from the fight and looking for the clinch. During one of the breaks, Pacquiao's character says that the fight "is boring for the casual fan" to Mayweather, who responds: "I don't care, I already got their money."
After 11 rounds, the fighters go into the final round, with Pacquiao tired. That's when Mayweather lands a jab and takes victory, saying at the end: “Thanks for the $100 [price of the pay-per-view in the United States]. Protect yourself at all times.”
