The fight is a rematch of their 2023 encounter that ended in the sixth-round when referee Kenny Bayless called an end to the fight due to excessive trash talking. The referee had a difficult time getting the two to break up their clinches and there was a brawl inside the ring involving members of both teams.

Now the two will meet in the ring again in hopes of getting an exhibition that doesn't devolve into chaos.

Here's a look at all you need to know to catch the bout along with a prediction for the final result.

If there were odds to this fight they'd be heavily in Mayweather's favor. There's always the chance that the 47-year-old Mayweather is going to take one of these exhibition bouts and really show his age at some point.

It really doesn't feel like this will be one of those times, though.

They are running this match back, but it isn't because the first one was close. The fight wasn't officially scored, but MMA Fighting had Mayweather up five rounds to none in the first fight before it was stopped in the sixth.

Gotti, the grandson of American crime boss John Gotti, has tried to make a name for himself in the combat sports arena for a while. He is 5-1 as a mixed martial arts and has won two professional boxing matches.

That being said, there's still a massive difference between Gotti's skill in the ring and Mayweather's.

What had to frustrate Gotti is what makes Mayweather so good at these exhibition bouts while he's approaching 50 years old. His defense, which was his calling card in his prime, remains very good.

It's that defense that allows Mayweather to control these exhibition bouts.

Expect him to take the same approach in this one. He'll take a cautious approach in the early rounds, allow Gotti to entertain the crowd with some offense, but Mayweather will be able to turn up the heat whenever he wants to.

Let's just hope the rematch remains a fight between both fighters in the ring instead of an all-out battle between both camps in and out of the ring.

MMA Fighting has Floyd Mayweather vs. John Gotti III live round-by-round updates for one of the most anticipated boxing exhibitions of the year at the Arena CDMX in Mexico City, Mexico, on Saturday night.

The main event is expected to begin around 12 a.m. ET on DAZN and PPV.com pay-per-view. Check out our Mayweather vs. Gotti III results page to find out what happened on the undercard.

Floyd Mayweather (50-0) and John Gotti III (2-0) are squaring off again after having a wild ending to their last encounter.

It will be the first fight of the year for Mayweather and Gotti III.
