Did Curmel Moton's 55-second KO steal the spotlight from John Gotti III's much-anticipated arrival?

In just a couple of hours, John Gotti III will be trading jabs with Floyd Mayweather.“I really do [believe I can win]. The improvements I made from last year up until now, as far as even mentally, I’m a whole new fighter,” the grandson of late infamous mobster John Gotti said in an interview with TMZ. In their first exhibition fight in June 2023, Gotti III was disqualified by the referee for disregarding the rules of the bout. The match ended in a ruckus as entourages from both camps rushed into the ring.

Now, Gotti 3 has a score to settle in the ring. The bad blood from their previous encounter makes a good backstory for their rematch. Meanwhile, there is another matchup that just concluded. 18-year-old boxing prodigy, Curmel Moton, displayed a spectacular performance on the Mayweather-Gotti undercard bout. On that note, judging by fans’ reactions, the undercard fight seems to be generating more interest than the main event as Gotti reaches Arena CDMX, in Mexico City.

Gotti III fails to make an impression!

John Gotti III has entered the venue for his exhibition fight with Floyd Mayweather. DAZN posted the video of Gotti’s entrance with the caption, “Gotti III is here”. Wearing a cap, and dressed in a tracksuit, Gotti could be seen being escorted to his locker room by his security personnel. Hopefully, this time Gotti performs better, or at least gets the chance to finish the fight. But, are fans even interested? Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s protege Curmel Moton just got done with his undercard fight. He has secured yet another first-round victory by knocking out Victor Vazquez in just fifty-five seconds.

On the other hand, Gotti’s entry failed to make an impact as fans were more interested in the status of the Moton fight. Does it hint that Gotti’s fight with Mayweather will have poor PPV buys? Nevertheless, let’s delve into what the fans had to say.
