Floyd Mayweather John Gotti III

The great Floyd Mayweather Jr. returned to the boxing ring last night (Sat., Aug. 24, 2024) LIVE on DAZN pay-per-view (PPV) from inside Arena CDMX in Mexico City, Mexico, dominating former opponent John Gotti III in a main event rematch.

These two have a bit of history after their first fight in June 2023 ended with too much trash talk and an in-ring melee. It has taken over a year for Mayweather and Gotti to run it back, but it finally went down late Saturday night. Making things more interesting is the fact that this was the first time “Money” was fighting on Mexican soil.

Mayweather was toying with Gotti in the early going of the rematch and it frustrated the former mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter. The two boxers kept talking trash in between rounds as the referee struggled to control the action. Not to mention the same referee made a bad call for a behind-the-head shot by Mayweather. “Money” was not happy and proceeded to protest and scream at the official. Eventually, the call was made to bring in a replacement ref to keep the fight going. It was chaos.

Mayweather did what he always does for the remainder of the fight. He allowed Gotti to get some pop shots off before firing counter punches. “Money” defended nicely, took barely any punishment, and dictated every second of the fight. Gotti was just in there sharing the ring with a legend.
