Marquez caught Pacquiao with a powerful right-handed overhead punch that sent the Filipino to the canvas in the said fight marking what was the worst and most embarrassing loss of the eight-division Filipino world champion.

As if the Marquez’s KO video wasn’t enough to bash Pacquiao, Mayweather Jr. also put a background music of Queen’s “Another One Bites The Dust”. The lyrics of which includes the lines, “another one bites the dust, another one bites, “Another one bites the dust, another one bites the dust, and another one gone, and another one gone, another one bites the dust, hey, I'm gonna get you, too, another one bites the dust.”
