FLOYD MAYWEATHER returns to the ring TONIGHT for a highly anticipated rematch against John Gotti III.

The two last went head-to-head in an exhibition bout in Florida in June 2023, with the fight ending in chaos. Referee Kenny Bayliss stopped the bout in the sixth round and declared it a no-contest, which led to Gotti III charging at Mayweather, prompting a mass brawl in the ring. Each fighter’s respective camps stormed the ring with several punches thrown in crazy scenes – leading to both competitors being escorted out of the venue.

There is just ONE fight before Floyd Mayweather makes his return to the ring. Alan David Picasso takes on Azat Hovhannisyan in the co-headliner before Mayweather takes on Gotti again. Floyd Mayweather revealed he could have at least another three more spectacle showdowns. He said: “We just got a call about a three exhibition deal and it’s a crazy number. “If I was taking abuse and I was getting battered then I think I’d step away.”

 

The fight will take place this Saturday in Mexico City

Every time Floyd Mayweather Jr. is mentioned, boxing fans pay attention, and even more so when the legendary fighter steps into the ring.

Mayweather Jr., multiple world champion and for many, one of the best in the history of the sport of boxing, will fight once again in an exhibition against John Gotti III, in what will be the second bout between the two fighters.

The fight will be held on August 24 at the Arena Ciudad de Mexico.

Floyd Mayweather

Everyone knows the story of Mayweather, previously considered the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world, and who retired with an undefeated record of 50-0.

Throughout his career he accumulated a total of eight world titles in different categories and through the different bodies that govern the boxing world.

What are the titles won by Floyd Mayweather?

These are the world championships that The Money went on to win in his pro career:

  • WBC Super Featherweight World Champion.
  • WBC Lightweight World Champion
  • WBC Super Lightweight World Champion
  • WBC Welterweight World Champion (2)
  • WBA Welterweight World Champion
  • IBF Welterweight World Champion
  • WBC Super Welterweight World Champion (2)

Who is John Gotti III?

In the other corner, Goti III, is a Mixed Martial Arts fighter and professional boxer born in 1992.

He is the grandson of one of the mob bosses in New York in the 1980s, John Gotti, but the grandson is far from that criminal side in his family.

He made his MMA debut in 2017, and switched to the world of boxing in 2020, though he has only fought twice as a pro in a ring, and both times he came out with his fist raised.

This is the second time the two will meet in the ring. In 2023 they were set to fight eight rounds of two minutes each, in a fight in which Money Mayweather dominated his opponent, when referee Kenny Bayless surprisingly stopped the fight in the sixth round.

The referee warned both fighters to stop the abusive language, which both fighters ignored, leading Bayless to stop the fight, while chaos ensued over the decision.

The boxing legend has earned more than $1billion dollars throughout his illustrious career

Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather Jr., a name synonymous with boxing greatness and wealth, has cemented his status as one of the most financially successful athletes of all time.

With an impeccable boxing record of 50-0, Mayweather’s prowess in the ring has translated into staggering earnings and an unrivaled net worth.

Despite his humble beginnings, Mayweather’s career earnings have soared to an astonishing $1.2 billion, making him one of the wealthiest athletes globally.

His net worth, as of 2024, stands around $400-$450 million.

What is the salary of Floyd Mayweather?

During his illustrious career, Mayweather secured fifteen major world titles, establishing himself not only as the richest but also one of the most decorated boxers of all time.

Before turning professional, he had already claimed an Olympic bronze medal and three national Golden Gloves titles, laying the groundwork for his future dominance in the sport.

Mayweather’s ability to negotiate lucrative fight deals has been a key driver of his astronomical wealth. His showdowns against boxing legends like Manny Pacquiao and Conor McGregor have resulted in eye-watering paychecks, with reported earnings reaching $300 million and $350 million respectively.

Notably, Mayweather’s guaranteed disclosed paycheck for his fights often pales in comparison to his actual earnings.

For instance, while his guaranteed paycheck for a fight might stand at $100 million, his actual earnings could soar to an astonishing $275 million, showcasing his unparalleled drawing power and revenue generation capability.

The magnitude of Mayweather’s earnings becomes even more staggering when compared to other athletes.

He sits proudly as the fifth highest-paid athlete of all time, alongside sporting icons like Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods.

What sets Mayweather apart is his ability to amass such wealth primarily through his boxing endeavors, with endorsement deals forming only a fraction of his earnings.

Mayweather’s real estate investments

Beyond the boxing ring, Mayweather has diversified his wealth through smart investments in real estate.

His property portfolio boasts luxurious residences in prime locations, serving as testaments to his keen eye for lucrative opportunities.

In Las Vegas, Mayweather’s primary residence since 2018 is an opulent 11-bedroom custom-built mansion spanning 22,000 square feet, acquired for $10 million.

Additionally, he owns a lavish 13,000-square-foot mansion in Vegas, purchased for $9.5 million, which served as his primary residence from 2010 to 2018.

The boxing icon’s real estate empire extends beyond Vegas, with notable acquisitions including a $25.5 million mansion in Beverly Hills, equipped with extravagant amenities such as a candy shop, a 12-seat movie theater, and a 300-bottle wine room.

In August 2021, Mayweather expanded his real estate holdings with an $18 million waterfront mansion on Miami’s Palm Island.

Outside the ring, Mayweather’s business ventures further bolster his financial empire.

He owns Mayweather Promotions, a successful promotional company, and TMT, his own apparel brand.

Mayweather’s extravagant lifestyle is characterized by luxury cars, private jets, and an extensive jewelry collection.

Despite occasional rumors of financial troubles, Mayweather’s strategic investments and his approach to wealth management have ensured his enduring prosperity.

The next ‘Money’ fight

Floyd Mayweather Jr. will face off again in an exhibition fight against John Gotti III, emanating this time from Mexico City. Although it has not yet been revealed what his purse will be for this show, it is estimated that Mayweather will get a much ‘more modest’ amount of between $20 and $25 million.

The exhibition fight between Floyd Mayweather and John Gotti III, set to take place in Mexico City, has generated significant interest among boxing fans.

Despite being an exhibition match and not counting towards the official records of either fighter, there is high anticipation to see these two boxers, who had a controversial bout just over a year ago.

In June 2023, Mayweather and Gotti III fought, but the referee, Kenny Bayless, stopped the fight in the sixth round after repeatedly warning both fighters about the abusive language they were using in the ring.

The stoppage of the fight was not only surprising but also caused major frustration among the fans in attendance, resulting in a significant commotion in the stands.

Floyd Mayweather 

For this event, the former multi-world champion and the former Mixed Martial Arts fighter will need to display better behavior in the ring and put on a show worthy of the attention this fight has garnered.

The fight will take place this Saturday, August 24, at Arena Ciudad de México, marking Mayweather’s first appearance in the neighboring southern country.

Throughout his professional boxing career, Mayweather has defeated several of Mexico’s top fighters, including Juan Manuel Márquez and Canelo Álvarez.

What will be the most important fights on Saturday?

The bout between Mayweather and Gotti III is the main event of a series of fights taking place throughout the night, which will also feature other matches with notable Mexican boxers to add more interest to the card.

Floyd Mayweather

Here are the fights leading up to the main event at Arena Ciudad de México on Saturday, August 24, 2024:

  • Victor Ortiz vs. Rodrigo Damian Coria; Exhibition
  • Alan David Picasso vs. Azat Hovhannisyan; Super Bantamweight
  • Luis Rodriguez vs. Cesar Vaca; Super Middleweight
  • Aaron Silva vs. Alfonso Flores; Super Middleweight
  • Silvia Torres vs. Cecilia Rodriguez; Women’s Minimum Flyweight

Mayweather Jr. is set to have a rematch with John Gotti III after their controversial first fight ended in a mass brawl and was stopped in the 6th round.

Champions are meant to shine, and while none shined brighter than Floyd Mayweather over the first 49 fights of his professional career, he has spent the last seven years trying as hard as he can to tarnish that record. For the most part, he has succeeded.

Unwilling to fight a boxer to reach that much-coveted 50-0 record, he staged a farce against Conor McGregor, much to the chagrin of the boxing world. In a bout filled with illegal punches and MMA moves that would have any boxer disqualified immediately, McGregor and Mayweather waltzed around the ring for 10 rounds, just long enough to make the $300 million that Floyd earned and the $100 million that Conor earned seem justified.

Floyd Mayweather

Unable to add to that 50-0 record with his next opponents, not with a straight face anyway, Floyd then moved into the world of exhibition boxing, facing kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa and YouTuber Logan Paul before an ever-more-incredulous public. Finally, he faced a boxer, although one who was nowhere near his level, in former sparring partner Don Moore in a non-scored eight-round bout. Reverting to form, Floyd took another bout against an MMA fighter in Japan’s Mikuru Asakura before heading back into the YouTube world against Oladeji Daniel “Deji” Olatu in an exhibition bout in Dubai. In a rematch at Mexico City Arena, Floyd Mayweather’s next fight will be against John Gotti III. His first opponent, Victor Ortiz, couldn’t reach a financial agreement. The first exhibition fight between Mayweather and Gotti III at FLA Live Arena in Florida ended in a chaotic brawl, with their fight being stopped after six rounds.

It didn’t have to be this way. Floyd was an astounding defensive boxer, a practitioner of the sweet science of “hit and don’t get hit.” His career is a who’s-who of opponents, defeating the likes of Zab Judah, Oscar De La Hoya, Ricky Hatton, and Canelo Álvarez, and Floyd could have ridden off into a glorious sunset.

During his two-decade professional career, Mayweather won 15 world championships across five weight classes, including the lineal championship in four weight classes. Floyd held the WBC, WBO, and WBA Welterweight titles, as well as the WBA and WBC Super Welterweight titles between 2012 and 2015. His skill was always in his defense. With amazing head movement and upper body mobility, he would wear opponents out as they threw punches at nothing but air.

Floyd Mayweather

A testament to his defensive ability is that his 50 wins include 27 knockouts, a phenomenal number considering his palpable lack of punch power. He would essentially use the frustrations of the opponent to have them throw themselves into ever-increasing vulnerability, ending up, like Ricky “the Hitman” Hatton, knocking themselves out by walking onto a counter-punch.

Very few fighters have ever had Floyd’s speed and agility, and he is unrivaled in the art of pugilism. It is a shame he has chosen to fully pursue his erstwhile moniker “Money” with complete gusto. Somebody should stop him before there is too much tarnish to shine off anymore on a legacy that deserves better.

The young boxer wasn’t afraid to call out his grandfather

Floyd Mayweather was training his three-year-old grandson KJ ‘Meezy’ Mayweather when the little boxing prodigy brought up an issue with his methods. Based on his reaction in this training video from Instagram, it’s safe to say the undefeated champion was not expecting to hear such a critique and didn’t know how to respond.

Watch Floyd Mayweather’s grandson question his methods

Despite his age, 3-year-old Meezy is clearly comfortable in the gym, even next to the all-time great. Floyd has posted countless videos of his “masterclass” sessions with his grandson, starting his boxing career at an exceedingly young age.

Floyd Mayweather

Who is KJ Meezy Mayweather?

KJ was born to Floyd’s daughter, Iyanna ‘Yaya’ Mayweather and famous rapper NBA YoungBoy. According to the boy’s Instagram account run by the Mayweather family, he loves superheroes and boxing.

With such an introduction to the sport, the Mini Mayweather has picked up a few things, and he has a level of comfort criticizing his grandfather that most would never dream of. As the two generations attacked the heavy bag adorned with $100 bills, an issue arose and Meezy made it known.

He was able to replicate some of Floyd’s punches and his trademark footwork, but when it came to a quick combo, he had some doubts about his ability to make any impact on the punching bag that was three times his size: “My hands are too little,” Meezy said, exhausted.

Floyd Mayweather

Floyd turned around and placed his hand on his forehead, stunned at the simple but true remark. For a three-year-old, his grandson is very impressive, but there are certain truths you just can’t get around at that age.

Nonetheless, they continued training once Floyd had gotten over the comment. If one person can get away with doubting Money Mayweather, it’s his beloved grandson. Although the moment of honesty stood out from the video, the rest of the session put the world on notice that Meezy Mayweather is going to be a problem by the time his hands are no longer “too little.”

Mayweather, whose competitive career saw him accrue a perfect 50-0 record, became fabulously wealthy during the 2000s and now boasts a net worth of around $400 million. He is set to make more millions when he steps in the ring to fight the grandson of former mob kingpin John Gotti — giving him more reason to brag and flaunt his hard-earned riches.

Mayweather’s message

Money Mayweather took to Instagram Stories on Wednesday to do a bit of flexing. He took viewers behind the scenes for a look at his private jet and several stacks of paper cash before looking at the camera and saying: “Not bad for a high school dropout!”

Mayweather first came to prominence as a teenager who won bronze in featherweight boxing at the 1996 Summer Olympic Games in Atlanta. That would be the only loss of his professional career, as Mayweather maintained an unbeaten record across five weight classes and continued to rake in the dollars even after a two-month jail stint on a domestic abuse charge in 2012.

Floyd Mayweather

Now a grandtather, Mayweather has become increasingly aware of his place in North America‘s sporting consciousness and has set out to maintain his legacy by preparing the next generation of boxers. The 47-year-old has also ensured that the money will keep coming in for years to come by agreeing to exhibition bouts — like the one that will take place inside Arena Ciudad de México on Saturday night, as part of a 12-match card.

Floyd Mayweather has flaunted his luxury lifestyle again, but fans haven’t taken it well.

Mayweather is one of the richest athletes to have ever graced the planet, with an approximate net worth of around $450million [£344m] with earnings in excess of $1.1billion [£841m].

Throughout his time in the spotlight, ‘TBE’ has shown off luxury items, plush properties and even posed with wads of cash which has always received a mixed reception online.

Floyd Mayweather

And in his latest social media outburst, the 47-year-old has shown fans exactly what material wealth looks like.

Firstly, he posted an Instagram story of huge wads of cash, for which what looks like hundreds of thousands of dollars laid out across the floor.

Shortly after, he has posed on the runway of an airport for the camera, before zooming in on his custom-made private jet which sat there ready to leave.

It was a huge airliner, with silver and gold colouring and the huge letters ‘TMT’ – The Money Team – printed on the back wing.

The jet also had Mayweather written on the side, and he shouted as he turned towards it: “Not bad for a high school dropout.”

Floyd Mayweather 

Fans weren’t as impressed as many may have thought, with one writing: “He is really insecure as f***.”

Another stated the same, writing: “What a clown, the most insecure person I have ever seen.”

A fan went deeper into the post, adding: “Someone who has to flex is usually self-conscious and feels the need to flex to make themselves feel better in comparison to others.

“This guy is always flexing and is clearly self-conscious about not being able to read.”

A fight between Gervonta Davis and Shakur Stevenson pits two world champions with extremely different approaches to boxing against each another. It is, without doubt, one of the highest level fights to be made in the sport.

‘Tank’ Davis has knocked out all but two men who stepped through the ropes with him, often giving away rounds early in order to close the distance and unleash when the time comes.

Stevenson does not give away rounds. In fact, he makes it his business to win comfortably without taking much back at all. According to CompuBox, opponents land on him on average just 5.3 times per round.

Gervonta Davis

Davis holds the WBA Lightweight World Title and Stevenson the WBC, so the fact that it’s a unification makes it all the more intriguing. When the latter split from Top Rank after a long promotional deal, fans thought there would be no obstacles in the way of making the bout happen.

Whilst Stevenson hasn’t announced his next business move, he has been pictured with Riyadh Season’s Turki Alalshikh, who is fast becoming the most influential man in the sport, and will likely end up on his event next, perhaps through Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom.

However, in an interview with Mill City Boxing, ‘Tank’s co-trainer Kenny Ellis said linking up with the man from Saudi Arabia makes the fight less likely.

Gervonta Davis

“For Shakur [Turki Alalshikh] is more like protective custody, cause Shakur don’t need him to make that fight and if he do go with him he not gonna fight Tank. So, it’s like PBC for real, you know? My opinion.”

Asked for the details as to why the fight wouldn’t happen, especially given Alalshikh expressing that he is keen to work with ‘Tank’, Ellis wouldn’t elaborate.
