Floyd Mayweather’s family was apparently threatened in social media posts after a wild melee between Mayweather and Gotti camps broke out in the ring during an exhibit bout between the 2 fighters on Sunday.
The bout in between Mayweather and John Gotti III, the grand son of the notorious New York Mafia employer, was announced in April. Gotti, who began as a MMA fighter, had a 2-0 boxing record going into the match.
“Make no mistake, June 11, I’m bringing bad intentions to that male,” he stated. “And I do not care if it’s an exhibit or not, you started to combat me. It’s no quarter. So it’s kill or be killed.”
It seems those “bad intentions” boiled over because throughout the bout, when the ref attempted to keep Gotti from Mayweather, the grandson of the Gambino criminal activity manager pressed referee Kenny Bayless aside and went wild attacking the 46-year-old boxing champ.
The prohibited move sent out cornermen from both sides into the ring to separate the fighters and ended up in mutual disqualifications, ending the fight then and there.

But the circumstance continued to grow after the mess on Saturday. According to the New York City Post, someone threatened Mayweather’s daughter.
Previous Barstooler Jeff Nadu grabbed a screenshot of the danger posted to Nicolette Gotti’s Instagram account.
“@floydmayweather your daughter was ran through by [an] animal with 12 various child mamas– your little circus animal– [you’re] all a pack of zoo animals,” Nicolette apparently composed.
“I swear on my kids I’m coming for your daughter, it might be 2 years, 3 years from now but I’m coming c– t.”

It is uncertain which of Mayweather’s children the post was referencing. The boxing champ has two daughters, Iyanna and Jirah.
Nicolette Gotti’s Instagram was unexpectedly set to private sometime on Sunday.
