After the referee failed to reprimand Gotti for a blow to the back of Mayweather’s head, Floyd became irritated and threw such a fit that they had to replace him with another one to continue the fight.
While exhibition fights do not have a definitive winner, Floyd Mayweather came out on top with the final score of 80 – 72.
It could be concluded that Mayweather was the winner of the fight against Gotti III in Mexico City.

The attendees whistled and disapproved of what they were seeing in the ring, especially for John Gotti’s lack of initiative.
