Analysts are still trying to figure out how the sales numbers happened. However, you'll understand the bout if you looked at the jyotish charts of Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao. The world witnessed a performance of boxing skills at their highest, not a brawl that everyone was looking for.
Mayweather has an exalted Mars and an exalted Venus in his chart. As such, he is very athletic, powerful and agile in fighting. But, whether you like him or not, the strong Venus makes him more of a dance performer willing to please the crowd with his grace and finesse. This condition also accounts for his penchant for large sums of money, expensive cars painted in white (the color of Venus), and pretty women. On the other hand, Pacquiao has a strong Venus, as well. He has an exalted Jupiter and strong Moon both in Cancer, the house of the Mother Goddess. Thus, these planets have given him good luck, in spite of his poor background, to gain recognition of his craft throughout the world. He intuitively understands his blessings by praying to his God, after victories in each of his boxing matches. Surprisingly, his Mars is weak due to the close conjunction with the Sun. This condition has made him reckless in his fighting style and is willing to slug it out for a quick win. During the biggest fight of his career, this same condition has surfaced in the match last Saturday in the form of a shoulder injury which limited his capability to beat Mayweather.
