The Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao Fight of the Century fell flat in multiple ways on Saturday night.

First, it was boring, as Mayweather dominated Pacquiao en route to a unanimous decision.

Secondly, despite the best efforts of Jimmy Kimmel, it didn’t lead to a great deal of mockery aimed at Justin Bieber. Allow us to explain…

To the consternation of many, Kimmel ended up in Pacquiao’s entourage prior to the bout, actually walking with the boxer to the ring.

Aside from being confused over Kimmel’s presence, observers were taken aback by his outfit, which included a bowler hat, gold chains and a black jacket.

What was Kimmel thinking?

“I was going for the Justin Bieber look, but everyone seemed to think it was Run-DMC,” Kimmel told Ryan Seacrest on the radio this morning. “I failed in that respect.”

Bieber is a well-known good pal of Mayweather’s, as he went so far as to curse publicly curse off Pacquiao in front of many onlookers in Vegas over the weekend.

Kimmel, meanwhile, asked Pacquiao if he could walk out with him last week… but never thought the request would actually be fulfilled.

“I thought for sure that by the time I got there, somebody would have wised up and said, ‘We don’t need him walking in …’ Kimmel told Seacrest.

“But no one did and I found myself in the ring, which was crazy.”

Know what would be even crazier, though? If the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight was fixed, as alleged by Manny’s aunt!
