Super Bowl weekend is about to get even more exciting with the announcement of an unexpected boxing rematch. Floyd "Money" Mayweather will be going up against John Gotti III, the grandson of notorious mob boss John Gotti.
The fight is aptly titled "Unfinished Business" as it will be a rematch of their June 11 bout, which resulted in a brawl after the referee stopped the match. Mayweather made the announcement on his Instagram page on November 17.
TMZ Sports reported that the match will take place in Las Vegas around February 11, the same day as the NFL's Super Bowl. The event will be a pay-per-view broadcast on the Zeus Network. Mayweather Promotions and Hidden Empire Films will be handling the promotions.
As Mayweather is currently retired, the fight will be an exhibition match, just like the first one. Mayweather was reportedly paid $25 million for the bout, while Gotti took in an estimated $20 million.
The referee of the last exhibition, Kenny Bayless, had to intervene and call the fight in the sixth round due to the boxers' lack of adherence to the rules. Gotti was so angry that he continued to attack Mayweather after the bell had rung, prompting both fighters' corners to jump in the ring and break up the chaos.
The Gottis even threatened Mayweather and his family after the previous fight, making this upcoming bout even more anticipated. With the exciting halftime performance, and now this explosive rematch, Super Bowl weekend is sure to be an eventful one.
