Floyd Mayweather bout explodes into chaos with gangster’s grandson

Floyd Mayweather has been making bank since he retired from professional boxing by fighting exhibition bouts. His most recent bout, opposite mixed martial artist and grandson of famous gangster John Gotti, went haywire.

Mayweather and John Gotti III were supposed to have fought an eight-round exhibition bout. The situation has been volatile from the get go, but went over the top when Gotti was disqualified for holding Mayweather too much during the fight.

Referee Kenny Bayless stopped the fight during round six, disqualifying Gotti. The grandson of famed American gangster John Gotti of the Gambino crime family in New York, Gotti III was upset with the stoppage and stormed Mayweather.

That led to both men’s corners entering the ring, pushing and shoving, wild punches, and general mayhem.
