This weekend, the boxing schedule is quite sparse, with the exhibition rematch between Floyd Mayweather and John Gotti III taking center stage on Saturday night. The highly anticipated rematch will be held in Mexico and will be broadcast live on DAZN, a first for Mayweather. Fans who witnessed the first bout between these two fighters will remember the chaos that ensued at the end of the fight. Gotti III was disqualified and even threw a punch at Mayweather after being DQ’d, sparking a massive brawl involving both teams. Now, Gotti III gets a second chance to face the 47-year-old Mayweather, and he is talking a big game leading up to the rematch.
In an interview with DAZN, Gotti III expressed his determination and confidence ahead of the fight, stating, “This fight can dictate the course of my future in the fight game. He’s going to be met with bad intentions. After everything that happened last time, we’ll see who backs up first. This is going to be a hell of a fight. It’s going to be a very interesting night. Don’t let Floyd fool you, he’s taking this seriously, he’s coming to fight.” Gotti III acknowledges Mayweather as one of the greatest fighters in boxing history and sees this rematch as a thrilling challenge. He believes that Mayweather has not yet seen his best performance in the ring.
Although Mayweather has only had rematches with two previous opponents, he is known for operating at around 50 percent in exhibition matches. This presents an opportunity for Gotti III to potentially make Mayweather look vulnerable and force him to take a few hits. However, the question remains as to how many fans will be invested in this rematch. With a price tag of $50 on Pay-Per-View ($20 in the UK), some fans may opt out of watching. Despite a promising undercard featuring Mayweather protege Curmel Moton, the main attraction remains Mayweather versus Gotti III. The hype surrounding this rematch begs the question – what kind of show will it be on Saturday night?
The Mayweather-Gotti III rematch is generating significant buzz within the boxing community. Gotti III’s determination to challenge a boxing legend like Mayweather showcases his confidence and ambition in the sport. As fight night approaches, all eyes will be on these two fighters as they step into the ring once again. Will Gotti III be able to pull off an upset and emerge victorious, or will Mayweather prove why he is considered one of the greatest fighters of all time? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain – this rematch promises to be a compelling and intense battle between two skilled athletes.
