JOHN GOTTI III has broken his silence on the mass brawl which followed his showdown with Floyd Mayweather.
Chaos ensued after referee Kenny Bayless waved off the fight for too much trash-talking, with Gotti trying to attack Mayweather against the ropes.
Mayweather fended off the telegraphed punches and rocked the grandson of the notorious New York gangster – John Gotti – with a right hand before close to 30 people flew into the ring.
And a fired-up Gotti took to Instagram to take aim at the boxing icon.
Along with an aerial video of the melee, he wrote on his Instagram story: “Punk b***h @FloydMayweather. You my enemy for life.”
Gotti then put out a backup request to Mayweather’s last professional opponent, UFC legend Conor McGregor.

He wrote: “@TheNotoriousMMA we need back-up.”
The referee’s decision to stop the fight due to x-rated trash talk was perplexing, to say the least.
And Gotti was quick to lament the Bayless’ stoppage of their Florida fight.
The MMA fighter wrote: “But never put me down or stopped me. It was a DQ for no reason.”

The threats to Mayweather and his squad didn’t stop there, with Gotti’s sister Nicolette issuing a harrowing threat to the boxing legend’s daughter.
She wrote on her private Instagram: “@Floydmayweather your daughter was ran through by a[n] animal with 12 different baby mamas – you little circus animal.
“You’re all a pack of zoo animals.
“I swear on my kids I’m coming for your daughter.
“It may be 2 years, 3 years from now, but I’m coming c**t.”
Mayweather’s showdown with Gotti was his seventh exhibition since retiring from professional boxing in August 2017.
The former five-weight world champion called time on his pro career after extending his record to a perfect 50-0 with a tenth-round TKO victory over McGregor.
