Sunday’s best action at FLA Live Arena in Sunrise, Florida, happened Later Floyd Mayweather-John Gotti III exhibition.
The retired Hall of Famer toyed with his much less experienced opponent for five rounds, fighting hand-to-hand, playing in front of a crowd, and talking a lot.
Then, in Round 6, trash talk led to chaos. Referee Kenny Bayless, clearly tired of the fighters’ incessant chatter, abruptly stopped the fight.

This move angered the grandson of the famous gangster John Gotti, who wanted to continue and refused to stop throwing punches. He even pushed Bayless out of the way so he could approach Mayweather.
All of that caused an all-out brawl inside the ring that involved members of the boxers’ team.

Both fighters were apparently able to get out of the ring unscathed after the chaos broke out. It is unclear if anyone else was injured in the melee.
This is the 46-year-old Mayweather’s seventh performance since he last participated in a punishing bout in 2017, when he stopped Conor McGregor.
Gotti, 30, has little experience in both boxing and mixed martial arts.
