Pacquaio was fighting his 70th professional bout and showed no signs of age catching up with him with a dominant victory

Even before the judges made the decisions known, Pacquaio was hoisted onto the shoulders of his team as he celebrated

Pacquaio said after the win: 'I feel so happy because I did my best in the fight and in training. Our strategy we user a lot and we did a lot in the training camp for this victory. 

'I am so happy because God gave me good health and at the age of 40 I can still give my best. I want to be aggressive more but my coach told me I just wait to counter him. 

'I don't believe my career is over. I prove it. Manny Pacquaio's journey still continues. I want to push more but my trainer said just take time and wait for him so I could counter. 

On the prospect of a Floyd Mayweather rematch: 'Tell him to come back to the ring and we will fight! I am willing to fight again if he is willing to come back in boxing.'

Mayweather gave no reaction when the camera panned on him as he opted to stay out of the ring and the limelight with the crowd desperate to learn if the two will have another dust-up. 

The age gap had many assuming the fight would be closer than it played out as Pacquaio showed that age is just a number

Broner was bitterly disappointed with his performance and his body language showed that he knew he had been well beaten

With gaps in the round, a microphone was continually thrust in the direction of Mayweather but he was growing tired of talk he is to meet Pacquiao next. 

While not ruling out a return to the ring to fight - particularly given the interest and money the fight would generate - he remained coy between the rounds.

He said: 'You keep asking me about Manny Pacquiao. He needs to get past Adrien Broner first. And right now I'm living a happy and healthy life.' 

Well, he got past Broner and calls for a rematch will only get louder here on in after an aggressive and professional performance from Pacquaio, suggesting he is not slowing down anytime soon.   

Pacquiao was the aggressor from the opening bell, in no mood to start sluggishly and hand a psychological boost to Broner who was so confident of leaving the victor when speaking in the build-up.  

Broner threw very few punches in the opening rounds leaving the judges with no choice but to side with the veteran in the opposite corner.

Pacquiao attacked at will, using his jab smartly to win round after round before fans were treated to a frantic set of middle rounds where the Filipino appeared to be closing in on another knockout to add to his glowing CV.

Broner kept eyeing the clock, trying to establish how long he had to endure an onslaught from Pacquaio; he was simply trying to survive too many rounds

Raising his arms at the final bell and jumping onto the ropes as if he was victorious, he was booed loudly as the crowd sided with Pacquaio. The decision was correct but Broner was adamant he had been robbed of a win by the scorecards. 

'I beat him, everybody out there knows I beat him,' Broner said. 'I clearly won the last seven rounds.
