Boxing legend Floyd Mayweather has hinted at a possible rematch with John Gotti III before the end of this year. In a recent interview with Fighthype.com, Mayweather disclosed that his team has been in talks with Gotti’s team and that they are looking to make the rematch happen. The two fighters previously faced off in an exhibition fight in June, which ended in a chaotic brawl when spectators stormed the ring following a controversial decision.
During the altercation, referee Kenny Bayliss stopped the bout in round six, prompting Gotti to push past the official and continue throwing punches at Mayweather. The situation quickly escalated as members from both teams entered the ring, resulting in a mass brawl. The chaos didn’t just stay confined to the ring, with fights breaking out around the arena as well.
Gotti, the grandson of former New York crime boss John Gotti, received a six-month suspension from the DBPR Florida Athletic Commission due to his role in starting the brawl. Mayweather initially defended himself against the extra punches and retaliated with a few blows of his own. He then decided to sit atop the ropes and observe the chaos unfold, with nearly 50 people involved in pushing and shoving each other.
Aside from the potential rematch with Gotti, Mayweather also mentioned the possibility of another exhibition fight with former light heavyweight world champion Jean Pascal. Although the name Pascal was brought up, Mayweather stated that the financial details were not to his satisfaction.
Fans and boxing enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting the confirmation of Mayweather’s fights, as his exhibitions have gained significant attention in the sporting world. Mayweather’s bouts have continued to generate interest due to his storied career and the intrigue surrounding the opponents he chooses.
The potential rematch with John Gotti III would undoubtedly garner significant interest and could provide the chance for both fighters to settle the score. As for the potential exhibition with Jean Pascal, it remains to be seen if the financial negotiations will align to make the fight a reality.
Whether Mayweather steps back into the ring against Gotti or Pascal, spectators can expect another spectacle with the boxing legend’s participation. Mayweather’s exhibitions have consistently captivated audiences, and these potential fights promise to deliver high-stakes excitement and entertainment.
