Mayweather‘s Exhibition Fight Ends in Chaos
Floyd Mayweather’s exhibition fight with John Gotti III ended in an all-in brawl, causing chaos in the ring and at the venue. The boxing legend returned for another non-sanctioned fight, this time with the grandson of notorious mob boss John Gotti.
The Fight and Chaos
Mayweather was in complete control for six rounds, dominating the fight and evading any danger. However, things quickly escalated as trash talk turned into heated arguments. The fight turned into a farce when a massive punch-up between the two camps saw the bout waved off and led to complete chaos.
The Aftermath
Mayweather and Gotti both wanted to keep fighting, despite the fight being called off. Sensing the rising tension, Mayweather backed up and defended himself as Bayless did his best to try and stop Gotti. With Mayweather backed onto the ropes, the two began throwing punches again. It sparked a mass brawl in the ring, with both teams storming in.
Mayweather and Gotti had to be escorted out of the arena, but the rivalling camps continued to brawl, until the police intervened. Fans were forced out of the venue as tensions rose further. Women’s boxing champion Claressa Shields tweeted, “Never seen no s**t like I seen it tonight! @FloydMayweather schooled Gotti a**! And his people couldn’t handle it!”
