And for the first six rounds, Mayweather was in complete control landing at will and evading any danger coming back his way.

But the fight in Florida turned into a farce when a massive punch up between the two camps saw the bout waved off as all the entourages battled it out in the ring.

Referee Kenny Bayless warned the pair throughout to stop trading trash talk and start boxing.

But by round six they would not let up on the foul-mouthed insults to the point Bayless actually called off the action.

Mayweather and Gotti both wanted to keep fighting however with the 50-0 boxing legend saying “let’s go” to Gotti, who replied: “F**k you.”

Although Gotti was having none of it as he refused to give the fight up and chased after Mayweather.

With Mayweather backed on to the ropes, the two began throwing punches again.

It sparked a mass brawl in the ring as both teams stormed in.
