If there was one word to describe the exhibition match between Floyd Mayweather and John Gotti III that took place last year, it would be chaos. Tension started building up from the get-go as the two fighters started trading blows inside the ring since the first bell. As expected, Floyd Mayweather was cruising through the rounds, toying with Gotti III, interspersing his showboating with stinging verbal insults. The situation came to a head when referee Kenny Bayless disqualified the 2-0 professional boxer, midway through round 6 for clinching Mayweather repeatedly.

Gotti, angered by the decision, shoved the referee and charged at Mayweather, winging punches at him. Soon, the entourages of both camps rushed the squared circle and wreaked havoc.

Ever since the ill-famed fight, there has been a long-running beef that was quashed as soon as Mayweather accepted Gotti III’s request for a rematch on Aug. 24 in Mexico City. Interestingly, if you were a bystander at the fight with no knowledge of combat sports, you would never have believed that John Gotti III adored Floyd Mayweather since he was a child. In an interview with TMZ, the grandson of former mobster John Gotti revealed what it was like fighting his idol ‘Money Mayweather’ in June 2023.

In his candid confession, Gotti III revealed that he was caught “off-guard” during the momentous occasion of fighting the legendary boxer Floyd Mayweather. Ever since the New York-born native started his fighting career as a mixed martial artist, he never thought he would come face-to-face with the 50-0 fighter.

As we soon got in the ring, you know I was like this is surreal. If you would have told me when I first started my mixed martial arts journey 11 years ago, I would be fighting Floyd Mayweather… I say you’re crazy” Gotti III revealed.

Gotti further stated that the entire experience felt like a “video game”, as Mayweather is someone who he looked up to since he was a child.“It’s a guy who I grew up you know idolizing as a fighter my whole life, you know I was a huge fan of Floyd my whole life uh so it was really surreal,”  he said.

Starstruck by Floyd, he couldn’t let his hands go as he wanted to, and a “determined” Mayweather who came on the night intending to hurt him, got the upper hand.

However, the grandson of the former head of the Gambino crime family expects a different outcome in the rematch.

Gotti III here to win!

This time John will not let the big occasion of fighting Mayweather in the rematch ruin his composure. He stated that he has learned a lot from his last fight, and the “improvements” he has made since their last encounter will help him get the victory against the legendary undefeated fighter.

“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,” Gotti asserted in his exclusive interview with TMZ. Notably, the undefeated retired professional fighter, Mayweather, has fought six exhibition matches thus far and won all of them comprehensively.

Additionally, he revealed that he knows “what to expect” from the rematch, and is “mentally prepared” for the boxing prowess that an elite fighter like Mayweather would bring.

It all started as just another exhibition match, but what went down in Florida last year between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and John Gotti III was anything but ordinary. After a lackluster bout with reality TV star Aaron Chalmers, Mayweather took on Gotti III on June 11, and things quickly spiraled out of control. The trash talk flew, tensions escalated, and before anyone knew it, the ring erupted into chaos, with an all-out brawl spilling into the arena. It was a spectacle that left fans questioning whether they’d witnessed a fight or a full-on melee.

Fast forward a year, and the buzz hasn’t died down. The fiery feud between Mayweather and Gotti III has been simmering ever since that wild night, with rumors of a rematch swirling.

The anticipation is off the charts, and Gotti III gave us an exclusive look into his mindset as he prepares for the biggest fight of his life.

Gotti III isn’t just stepping into the ring for himself-he’s fighting for his legacy. In a candid chat, he opened up about his intense training regime and how he’s spent the past year reflecting on that explosive showdown with Mayweather. Facing off against a boxing legend is no small feat, and Gotti III admits it’s taken time to process everything that happened in Florida.

As the conversation shifted, the topic of Gotti III’s notorious grandfather, the late John Gotti, inevitably came up. What would the infamous Gambino crime boss think of his grandson going toe-to-toe with one of the greatest boxers of all time? Gotti III didn’t hold back-he thinks his grandfather would’ve been all in. “He would’ve wanted to rip Floyd’s head off when things got heated,” Gotti III quipped, clearly proud of his family’s fierce spirit.

But beneath the bravado, there’s a deeper motivation driving Gotti III. He’s not just fighting for himself-he’s fighting to uphold the Gotti name. “I’m out here to earn respect for my family and make a positive impact on our legacy,” he said, showing that this battle is personal on a whole new level.

With the fight just weeks away, Gotti III is putting the finishing touches on his training. He’s heading to Mexico City soon, ready to face the man who pushed him to the brink last June. This time, though, Gotti III says he’s coming in stronger, both physically and mentally. The stakes are higher, the pressure is immense, but he’s laser-focused on one thing: victory.

As fight night approaches, the world will be watching. Can John Gotti III do what no one else has and hand Floyd Mayweather Jr. his first-ever loss? It’s the kind of showdown that could go down in boxing history, and with emotions running high, anything could happen. Stay tuned-this is one rematch you don’t want to miss.

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? Who do you believe will win the fight between him and John Gotti III? Let us know in the comments below.

Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn has recently voiced doubts about the true extent of Floyd Mayweather’s wealth, despite the retired boxer’s claims of financial supremacy. Known as the most financially successful fighter in boxing history, Mayweather, now 47, retired with a perfect 50-0 record and has since engaged in numerous exhibition bouts.

However, Hearn, in a candid interview, questioned whether Mayweather still possesses the vast sums of money he once flaunted.

Hearn’s skepticism centers around Mayweather’s lavish lifestyle, which includes extravagant spending on luxury cars, private jets, and high-stakes gambling. Despite Mayweather’s assertions that he has made smart investments, including ventures in real estate and gold mines in Dubai, Hearn isn’t convinced. In an interview with GRM Daily, Hearn believes Mayweather’s lifestyle as diminished his net worth.

Mayweather, who topped Forbes’ list of highest-paid athletes with a reported $700 million earnings in 2019, has been adamant that his continued participation in exhibition fights is not driven by financial need but by his love for the sport. “I was born to be a fighter, I’m gonna die a fighter,” Mayweather has said, dismissing claims that he’s fighting for money​.

Earlier this year, his former protege, Gervonta Davis claimed that Mayweather was being detained in Dubai over unpaid debts.

The First Fight Ended In A Brawl

Nonetheless, the ongoing exhibition bouts, including a forthcoming rematch with John Gotti III on August 24 in Mexico, have fueled speculation about Mayweather’s financial situation. The rematch comes after their first fight in June 2023 ended in chaos, with a mass brawl breaking out after the referee stopped the fight due to excessive trash-talking.

Despite these doubts, Mayweather continues to assert that he is not fighting for money, pointing to his investments and business acumen. However, Hearn’s remarks add to the growing debate about whether “Money” Mayweather’s wealth is as secure as it once was, or if his lavish spending has taken a toll on his financial empire. As Mayweather prepares for his eighth exhibition match later this month, the questions surrounding his financial health remain at the forefront of boxing discussions. Despite the speculation, Mayweather continues to flaunt his wealth on social media.
