Who was John Gotti?

John Gotti, the late grandfather of Mayweather’s opponent tonight, remains one of the most powerful mob bosses of all time 22 years after his death.

Gotti was the head of the feared Gambino crime family. He was sentenced to life in prison in 1992 after being convicted of murder and other charges, before dying behind bars a decade later.

Ahead of his rematch with Mayweather, Gotti III revealed what his grandfather might have thought about the massive brawl that broke out last time.

He would have wanted to rip Floyd’s head off, you know, with that much going on.’

I’m fighting to gain respect for my name and have a positive impact on my family, so I’m sure he… [grandfather] could appreciate that.’
