Floyd Mayweather Jr. recorded a spectacular win against John Gotti in the ring of the Arena Ciudad de Mexico, in the Mexican capital. The fans in attendance were not convinced though. The fight was an eight-round exhibition fight fight with no judges.
Mayweather, who retired from boxing in 2017 with an unbeaten record in 50 bouts, dominated the fight from the second round, when the fighter nicknamed "Money" asked for a change of referee.
At the end of the fight, Mayweather and Gotti embraced in the ring as Mexicans fans loudly booed.
Despite that, it should be remembered that this fight that Mayweather Jr. and Gotti III staged in Mexico was a total exhibition, but also a rematch of the one they had a little more than a year ago. On that occasion, on June 11, 2023, at the FLA Live Arena, in Florida, United States, it ended without an official result. That is why they met again in Mexico in this second episode that disappointed the public in a big way.
During his 21 year proffesional career, Mayweather won world titles in five different divisions and beat rivals including Manny Pacquiao, Oscar De la Hoya, Shane Mosley and Saúl "Canelo" Álvarez.
In addition to Gotti, in his exhibition fights since 2018, Mayweather has faced three Japanese fighters and Logan Paul, a YouTuber and WWE wrestler.
