Floyd Mayweather Will Fight John Gotti III In Rematch During Super Bowl Weekend In Las Vegas

Super Bowl weekend is already lining up to be eventful, especially with the halftime performance that will feature Usher Raymond. Yet, it was just announced that it will be more explosive with a boxing rematch no one anticipated, TMZ reports. Floyd “Money” Mayweather has recently posted an upcoming match that will take place during Super Bowl weekend in Las Vegas.

He will go up against John Gotti III, the grandson of

mob boss John Gotti. This will be a rematch, as both combatants met earlier this year when a brawl broke out after the referee stopped the fight on June 11. Titled “Unfinished Business,” the undefeated boxer posted a flyer to social media on Nov. 17.

TMZ Sports reported that the match will happen around Feb. 11, the NFL’s Super Bowl slated date.

The boxing contest will be a pay-per-view event broadcast on the Zeus network. Mayweather Promotions and Hidden Empire Films will handle the promotions of the match. As Mayweather is retired, it will be an exhibition match, just like the last contest was.

Mayweather was paid around $25 million in that fight, while Gotti took in an estimated $20 million via Insider Sport. The referee of the last exhibition, Kenny Bayless, kept warning both fighters about how they were boxing, and eventually, he had to intervene and call the fight in the sixth round. That angered Gotti so much that he didn’t stop his attack on Mayweather, as he kept on swinging at the champion after the bell was rung. As he continued to throw blows, both corners came into the ring to help their boxers.

It should be an explosive fight, as the Gottis threatened Mayweather and his family after the battle.
