Mayweather-Gotti III exhibition ends in riot

Boxing Hall of Famer Floyd “Money” Mayweather (50-0, 27 KOs) toyed with John Gotti III (2-0, 1 KO), grandson of famous mob boss John Gotti, over six two-minute exhibition rounds on Sunday night at the FLA Live Arena in Sunrise, Florida. For the first four rounds, Floyd was free to do whatever he wanted while Gotti mainly tried to cover up – with limited success. In round five, Gotti became more aggressive and both boxers were warned by referee Kenny Bayless for jawing at each other. In round six, Bayless abruptly disqualified Gotti for talking, holding, and refusing to break. An enraged Gotti then tried to get at Floyd. People poured into the ring and multiple fights broke out. It was a wonder the ring didn’t collapse.

    • The riot was more entertaining than the actual fight. Speaks volumes over the suckers paying to watch this stuff.

  • At least was exciting at the end, could have been better if a big tomatoe has been handed to each person in attendance

  • Why do these articles include Floyd’s boxing record when these events have nothing to do with professional boxing? No matter the outcome of the exhibition Mayweather’s record is protected, that’s exactly why he does it.

  • Don’t know what happened at the end to stop the exhibition, but it was an exhibition. Good to see the great Floyd Mayweather still doing them, putting his great natural skills on display.

    • So true. One of the all-time greats still brilliant even at the age of 46.

    • Floyd makes money while he’s sleeping because he’s smart about putting his money to work for gains. He doesn’t do this for the money and it’s an unhealthy continuation of a career that is now over, and honestly makes him look like a fool. Floyd is so rich that unless his children and grandchildren squandered it away with obnoxiously lavished lifestyles they will die rich as well. However with his troupe you never know.

  • Floyd is out there risking his life and rep and still paving the way to new frontiers in sports

  • Pure show

    Mayweather instead he should look for a rematch with Connor mcgregor but in UFC …lol I know it will never happen

  • Two minute rounds? Does that means that Floyd is preparing to fight women next? As an exhibition of course.

    • Floyd hasn’t beaten up a woman recently so this would not surprise me.

  • Mayweather needs a hobby. His greed and lust may be his downfall.

  • Don’t understand the 2 minute rounds as gatti has fought 2 professional boxing fights I believe under deguardia promotions

  • Today Floyd officially graduates as a WWE allumni. Obviously a non-competitive exhibition but he still knows how to get your attention. Whether it’s staged or not. It got our attention. Can’t wait to see what other WWE-esque antic Floyd pulls lol. I’m sure others who do these exhibitions will suddenly have a riot of some sort.

    Floyd isn’t the first to do exhibitions but he’s taking it to another level with what he generates and how other big names (Manny) have followed in his footsteps. I’m certain Jake Paul or some other exhibitionist will suddenly have controversy in their bout to follow this trend. What better guy to do it against than Nate Diaz. Mark my words.

  • Apparently Gotti and his bunch trying to play The Sopranos. Yet another young ignorant tattooed trash-talking thug. No class, no professionalism, no dignity, no sense, and no talent either. Funny that near the end of that encounter when he charged at Floyd, he got whacked good by a Floyd right hand. He’s too stupid to realize that Floyd could’ve knocked him senseless anytime.

  • Come on, everyone. Gotti III is a made guy.

    Mayweather MADE this GUY look like shit.

  • Riot?……This looked like WWE’s typical heel/face weekly pull apart segment.

  • Mayweather learned well from McMahon. Easy payday for for a worked. First time watching his shows makes you a lollipop, second time a sucker.
