The match was stopped by referee Kenny Bayless in the sixth round, but Gotti appeared to ignore his instructions and continued to go after Mayweather, prompting several members from both teams to enter the ring.

He posted a few times on his Instagram Stories of the post-fight melee. He called Mayweather a “punk b—-” and an “enemy for life.”
