Why on earth did John Gotti think this would work for him?
This is the Floyd Mayweather we’re talking about, the same guy who went 50-0 before he retired, the same guy who’s so rich he doesn’t need to know. how to read …This is a legend. And Gotti definitely noticed with that powerknock Mayweather threw at him. Seriously, what the hell was Gotti thinking here?
