Boxing legend Floyd Mayweather Jr. returned to the ring on Sunday for an exhibition fight against John Gotti III, and things ended in a wild brawl at FLA Live Arena in Sunrise, Florida.
Mayweather was cruising through five rounds of action, barely looking like he broke a sweat as he trash-talked while peppering Gotti with punches. Things got testy between the two of them, as referee Kenny Bayless had a hard time separating their clinches and getting them to stop their verbal back-and-forth.
Early in the sixth round, Bayless stepped in to stop the fight after they wouldn't stop trash-talking, and Gotti began swinging wild haymakers at Mayweather after the bell. Both entourages entered the ring, and chaos erupted from there.
