Floyd Mayweather Jr. (50-0, 27 KOs) and John Gotti III (2-0, 1 KO) went the distance in their exhibition clash.

The two men fought over eight, two-minute rounds. As no judges were scoring the contest and no knockouts, there was no official result. However, had the fight been scored, Mayweather would have won wide on the scorecards. Despite being the much younger and heavier fighter (Mayweather was 160 lbs, Gotti was 181 lbs), Gotti was thoroughly outboxed from start to finish.

The fight headlined an August 24 Mayweather Promotions event at the Arena Ciudad de México. Boxing fans around the world could catch all the action on DAZN as a pay-per-view (except in México). Those in México were able to do so on TV Azteca.

Fight Recap

The opening round saw both fighters keep their distance for the most part. Mayweather was the busier of the two, landing jabs and countering. Although each round was supposed to be two minutes long, it appeared the timekeeper had not yet gotten the memo. It was not until Gotti pointed it out to referee Hector Afu that the round finally came to an end.

The opening round saw both fighters keep their distance for the most part. Mayweather was the busier of the two, landing jabs and countering. Although each round was supposed to be two minutes long, it appeared the timekeeper had not yet gotten the memo. It was not until Gotti pointed it out to referee Hector Afu that the round finally came to an end.

If one had thought what transpired in round one was ridiculous, the second was even more so. With about a minute remaining, Afu issued a warning to Mayweather about punching behind the head. “Money” was not pleased by this, resulting in Afu being replaced with referee Alfredo Uruzquieta for the rest of the fight.

The entirety of the clash saw Mayweather essentially have his way without putting too much effort or getting hit much. Though Gotti was getting outboxed, he was never in danger of getting stopped, allowing the fight to go the distance. With no knockouts, it went the distance with no official result.

Televised Undercard Results

Alan Romero (29-0-1, 16 KOs) won a unanimous decision against Azat Hovhannisyan (21-5, 17 KOs). Scores for the 12-round super bantamweight clash were 120-108 and 118-110 (x2). Hovhannisyan lost a point in round five for low blows.

Boxing great Floyd Mayweather Jr. rematched John Gotti III in an exhibition Saturday night in Mexico City. The fight played out exactly as many expected, and as the first meeting did, with the boxing great simply being a better fighter. Thankfully, the fight did not end in a brawl as was the case in their June 2023 meeting. Despite Mayweather clearly dominating the action, no winner was announced due to the fight being an exhibition.

Mayweather was cautious to not give Gotti opportunities to do effective work, instead leaning heavily on his jab followed by straight right hands to control the action. As the rounds ticked by, Gotti was visibly frustrated by Mayweather’s standard economic and effective approach to the “sweet science.”

Given the fight was an exhibition, featuring eight, two-minute rounds, there was not likely to be any notable result. This has been a standard approach to exhibition fights since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, with Mayweather only truly bringing his best game in bouts with Japanese kickboxers in fights that would have a result announced at the end.

Like his exhibition fights with the likes of Logan Paul, Mayweather was content to carry the fight through the scheduled time for the bout while clearly being the better of the two men in the ring. At the conclusion of the eighth round, there was no winner announced.

Mayweather and Gotti embraced after the fight, a stark contrast to the brawl that followed their first bout.

Throughout his storied professional career, Mayweather had many notable bouts with Mexican superstars. Having held an exhibition on hostile soil, Mayweather was thankful to the crowd.

“Mexico City,” Mayweather said. “Thanks for coming out.”

In Round 2 of the bout scheduled for eight, referee Hector Afu stopped the action to warn Floyd Mayweather about hitting his opponent to the back of the head. The 50-0 fighter did not agree with his critique. And a prolonged stop to the action ensued as they argued and Afu looked to the scoring table for support.

Eventually, Mayweather can be seen saying, “Get me a new ref,” and that is exactly what happened. Afu disappeared from the ring and then was quickly replaced by Alfredo Uruzquieta. The fact that a new referee could be installed so fast, and the fight immediately restarts will surely make some wonder if the moment was staged.

However, Mayweather and his Mayweather Promotions helped to put on the bout. So the boxing legend had unusual control over the event. It isn’t impossible that being able to remove referees during fights is part of his contract. Either way, it was another odd moment in the final chapters of “Money’s” fighting career.

In a truly bizarre moment during his exhibition fight on Saturday night, boxing legend Floyd Mayweather grew so upset with his bout’s referee that he hilariously fired him midway through the matchup.

If you have not been following the latest happenings in the career of boxing Hall-of-Famer Floyd Mayweather, the undefeated icon has transitioned to competing in circus-like exhibition bouts. Instead of adding to his record, the 47-year-old is looking to bank as much dough as possible while still in solid athletic shape.

The latest installment in his exhibition tour occurred on Saturday night when Mayweather faced John Gotti III in Mexico City. The bout was a rematch of a clash the two had last year that ended in a disqualification. After a melee ensued between their two entourages late in the fight. And similar to the first bout, more strange moments occurred in the rematch.

It was chaos the last time Floyd Mayweather and John Gotti III were in the ring together. Both teams attacked one another outside the ring following a lackluster affair. What will happen when both face off in a rematch on August 24?

The fight takes place in Mexico City and will air on DAZN PPV worldwide.

“As long as he keeps himself in good condition, he can fight till he’s 55. We’re gonna milk the cow till it can’t be milked any more. We take advantage of him being in shape mentally and physically, and that’s what it is,” President of The Money Team James McNair told Give Me Sport.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.”
