Mayweather vs Gotti start time and how to watch fight this weekend

Floyd Mayweather and John Gotti III will square off in a rematch this weekend, more than a year after their first fight ended in a brawl.

Boxing legend Mayweather, a former multiple-weight world champion, fought Gotti III in Florida last June, with the referee stopping the fight in round six due to excessive trash-talking – resulting in a brawl in the ring .

Now Mayweather, 47, will fight the son of mafioso John Gotti II – himself the son of John Gotti, also a mafioso – in Mexico City. Gotti III has experience in MMA and boxing, and this contest, like his last against Mayweather, will be an exhibition fight .

In Mayweather’s previous exhibition outings, the American icon fought the likes of YouTubers Logan Paul and Deji and kickboxing star Tenshin Nasukawa.
