Floyd Mayweather's exhibition match against John Gotti III ended in absolute chaos at the FLA Live Arena in Sunrise, Florida on June 11.

Mayweather comfortable showboated his way into asserting his superior skillset against the grandson of the famous New York mobster before the bout was prematurely stopped in the six round. Referee Kenny Bayless called a stop to the contest, disqualifying Gotti for repeatedly grabbing 'Money'.

Gotti made no attempt to hide his displeasure with the decision, pushing the referee aside and charging at Mayweather. This immediately led to an exchange which Mayweather seemingly got the better off, before the huge entourages of both parties jumped into the melee.
