This is What Started the Fight Between Floyd Mayweather’s Crew and John Gotti’s Crew After Their Boxing Match

Floyd Mayweather is no stranger to controversy. The boxing legend has been involved in many heated rivalries and scandals throughout his career. But his latest exhibition fight with John Gotti III, the grandson of the notorious mob boss, was one of the most chaotic and bizarre events in boxing history.

The fight took place on June 11, 2023, at the FLA Live Arena in Sunrise, Florida. It was billed as a friendly exhibition match between two fighters from different backgrounds and disciplines. Mayweather, 46, is a retired professional boxer who holds a perfect 50-0 record and multiple world titles. Gotti, 30, is a former MMA fighter who turned to boxing in 2020, and has a 2-0 record.

What Started the Brawl Between Floyd Mayweather’s Crew and John Gotti’s Crew?

The fight was supposed to last eight rounds, but it ended abruptly in the sixth round when referee Kenny Bayless disqualified Gotti for excessive clinching. Gotti was frustrated by Mayweather’s speed and skill and resorted to holding him whenever he could. Bayless warned Gotti several times to stop clinching, but he did not listen. Finally, Bayless had enough and waved off the fight.

Gotti was furious with the decision and refused to accept it. He pushed Bayless aside, and attacked Mayweather with a flurry of punches. Mayweather was caught off guard but quickly defended himself. The situation escalated when both fighters’ entourages and some fans stormed the ring and joined the melee. Security personnel tried to restore order, but it took several minutes before the brawl was contained.

The fight was broadcasted on Zeus Network pay-per-view and generated a lot of attention on social media. Many people criticized Gotti for his unsportsmanlike conduct, and praised Mayweather for his composure. Others questioned the legitimacy of the fight and accused it of being a publicity stunt or a fixed match.

It is unclear if they will face any legal consequences or sanctions for their actions. The fight will go down as one of the most controversial and chaotic events in boxing history.
