Floyd Mayweather vs. John Gotti III: What happened in the first fight? 

With no judges assigned to the eight two-minute round contest, this exhibition contest was expected to go on without any issues. 

However, there was already something brewing before the first bell with the start delayed after Mayweather's security team had to clear people out of John Gotti's corner. 

This delay did not affect Mayweather who dominated and toyed with his opponent.

As the fight progressed it was clear that Gotti was unable to match Mayweather's speed and technical ability, but come the sixth round, the contest was brought to an early end by referee Kenny Bayless and the fight descended into chaos.
