Floyd Mayweather’s exhibition fight against John Gotti III descended into a farce as an all-out brawl broke out in the ring after the fight was controversially stopped.
The referee waved off the contest with a minute remaining the sixth round, although Gotti seemed OK to continue.

Mayweather, who clearly wanted to keep the fight going, then said “let’s go” to Gotti, who replied: “F***k you.”
Gotti, the grandson of the former head of the Gambino crime family, then shoved the official out of the way as their fight unofficially continued.
He then proceeded to take massive swings at Mayweather who, in fairness, was game to keep going and fired several big shots back although none landed.

Just as the two were prepared to keep going until someone got knocked out, the respective teams hopped into the ring in an attempt to separate the two.
But it got even more chaotic as one man from Mayweather’s team violently shoved Gotti back into the corner.
Mayweather’s entire team then pinned Gotti and his camp in the corner as more and more randoms entered the ring.
Gotti, a former mixed martial artist fighter who went 5-1 as a professional, had two victories in boxing to his name prior to the bout and is 702nd in BoxRec’s light heavyweight rankings.
