Was it worth it, John?
Unknown to many, John Gotti III, the grandson of Floyd Mayweather and famed gangster John Gotti, was on Sunday night in one of the craziest exhibition boxing matches in sports history. Confronted.
After the bell, Gotti delivered an unruly punch, forcing Mayweather to throw a self-made haymaker to bring down the mob boss’s grandson. Now, Gotti will pay more for the punches that caused the brawl, 6 months suspension Certified by the Sunshine State Boxing Sports by the Florida Athletic Commission.
It all started with Mayweather and Gotti swearing at each other, and it didn’t stop, forcing referee Kenny Bayless to end the fight in the sixth round. Mayweather won. In response, Gotti began throwing illegal punches at Mayweather despite the bell ringing, and the GOAT dropped a bomb on Gotti. A large brawl involving more than 60 people then broke out.
It was sheer madness.

I can still remember how hilarious this Floyd Mayweather shot was.
The man thought he was approaching that life until Floyd hit him with a right overhand. Then he broke. pic.twitter.com/Hqwps1sbwG

What’s interesting is that we now know that John Gotti III is the grandson of the legendary John Gotti. Yes, the two and he should have put the two together, but then he had an obvious fart. Not only was it obvious, but being a Mafia maniac like myself, I needed to know this stuff.
But well, at least I had my “learn something new every day” moments.
Great to see John Gotti’s grandson in boxing. It’s just a shame he was on a six month suspension when I found out. (Related: Shannon Sharp officially exits FS1’s ‘Undisputed’, ends 7-year partnership with Skip Bayless)
Because of course.
