Floyd Mayweather Jr-John Gotti III fight descends into chaos after bout is stopped

Floyd Mayweather Jr. and John Gotti III fought in Florida on Sunday night but the bout descended into chaos after the match was stopped in the sixth round.

Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s exhibition boxing match against John Gotti III ended in chaos on Sunday night after the bout was stopped in the sixth round.

Mayweather and Gotti trashed-talked their way through more than half the fight with referee Kenny Bayless having a tougher and tougher time trying to separate them and stop their jawing. After Bayless stopped the fight, that’s when things took an ugly turn.

Mayweather hasn’t fought professionally since his win over Conor McGregor in 2017. He’s 50-0 with 27 knockouts in his career. Instead, he’s fought in lucrative exhibitions against anyone from Logan Paul to Gotti. His bought against Gotti was ruled a disqualification.

Gotti was competing in his third boxing match and has a pro record of 2-0. He’s also 5-1 in MMA.

He posted a few times on his Instagram Stories of the post-fight melee. He called Mayweather a "punk b----" and an "enemy for life."

Mayweather has yet to break his silence on the skirmish.
