If you are a die-hard Floyd Mayweather Jr. fan, then he has thrown a perfect jab for you. Amid the training camp for his coming exhibition fight against John Gotti III, the American boxer is taking some time off his tight schedule and has invited fans to a meet-and-greet event. So, where do you need to be and at what time?

Mayweather Jr., 47, is ready to finish what he and Gotti III started inside the squared circle on August 24 at the CDMX Arena in Mexico City. The fight, which ended in melee and chaos, deserved a second edition to settle things. The fans not only have to live in nostalgia and witness ‘Money’ turn back the clock, but also to see an end to a brewing rivalry. That’s not it. A meet-and-greet event along with a chance to win signed bottles of Good Money Whisky and Le Bon Argent Champagne sweetens the deal.

Mayweather Jr., at 50-0, turned to his Instagram handle and posted the details of the event. The caption read, “Come join me and The Money Team at Costco Wholesale in Lakewood, Ca this weekend. Don’t miss this exclusive opportunity to get your bottle of @goodmoneywhisky and @lebonargent Champagne signed.”

The post also mentioned the time of the event, which is scheduled from 2 PM to 4 PM. Mayweather Jr. shared the post to his story also, again stressing the details of the event, which read, “Saturday, August 10th, Lakewood, Ca” and the venue being ‘Costco Wholesale’. This might turn out to be the last such event for a couple of weeks before the Michigan native faces Gotti III in the ring. It seems his opponent is eyeing payback.

Before the referee jumped in and called off the fight, Gotti III was trailing on the scorecards and facing the brunt of Mayweather Jr.’s punches. But he will come prepared this time and has promised to be aggressive in his approach. He told GIVEMESPORTS.COM, “We’re gonna bring the heat this fight. I’m coming for an absolute war, I trained very hard, and the mentality is different. I’m treating it as an absolute war. That first fight I didn’t, it’s my fault. But like I said, the mental part is different for this fight, so we’re gonna be ready.”

It remains to be seen how much Gotti III improved his boxing skills and whether he can withstand the onslaught of Mayweather Jr. Fans won’t have to wait long to witness that. Are you excited about Mayweather Jr.’s invitation to the fans?
