John Gotti III and Floyd Mayweather‘s exhibition boxing match in Sunrise, Florida turned chaotic. The fight began late as the cornermen were obstructed by their large entourages. Eventually, in the sixth round, referee Kenny Bayless stopped the fight because the fighters were arguing and not heeding his warnings. This led to a brawl breaking out. Now, John Gotti III has asked for UFC star Conor McGregor‘s help against the legendary boxer.
Gotti expressed his anger and continued frustration with Mayweather even after the fight. He resorted to social media to issue threats towards Mayweather and voice his grievances about the fight being stopped and declaring ‘Money’ as an “enemy”.
