00:00And his opponent across the ring tonight, fighting out of the red corner, really needing no introduction the world over, wearing trunks of the colors of the Mexican flag, he weighed in at an even 160 pounds.
00:16Truly one of boxing's all-time greats with a career record of 50 wins, no losses, 27 wins coming by way of knockout.
00:36Here is the international boxing hall of famer in his Mexican debut, the 15-time world champion in five weight divisions,
00:52ladies and gentlemen, presenting the 15-time world champion in five weight divisions, let's welcome the one and only, the unrivaled Floyd Money Mayweather!
01:12Floyd Money Mayweather!
01:42Let's have some fun with this exhibition, Money, Floyd Mayweather, a historian, an e-book of boxing in all latitudes of the globe,
01:54against a brave Gothic third, who faces him, and takes the first right by this man who finished that fulminating career with an immaculate record,
02:0550 wins in the service sheet of Floyd Mayweather, who here with the first scuffles, already showed us that technique planted with a pair of right hands,
02:16and also the left hand in a straight way.
02:18And that right hand that passes over the shoulder of Gothic with an enormous clarity and speed, the Mayweather brand,
02:26a couple of times touches the bell on the face, on that left side of the Italian blood, John Gothic III,
02:33who had promised himself, prize of this fight, to start the most fierce fight, unlike what happened in June of last year in the state of Florida.
02:43For now, it seems that he brings the scanner again to see what he has in front of him.
02:49This round of the studio, the first of the scuffles, and they end in the hug, the Panamanian has to intervene,
02:56to make up for the two, and that the blow will come.
03:00Gothic complains of a rabbit blow, rabbit punch.
03:03However, the referee judges that it is not so,
03:07Putting the guard up well with those gloves in purple in Nazareno, Gothic III,
03:14to prevent Floyd Mayweather from getting into the scuffles,
03:17who there begins to go through Lona, very in style, the one that Alex Correa already designated,
03:23an elusive style, a little decaffeinated for many,
03:26that is, a man who did not toast going forward as he would like.
03:36There is Gothic, also releasing ties, going with that combination, and finally they end in the hug.
03:43Well, I don't know if they have already passed these two minutes, the stopwatch has stopped,
03:49and well, we continue then in the scuffle with these three minutes of action.
03:54Another rabbit punch, Gabriel.
03:55Another one, right?
03:56Another one.
03:57We are now in the back of the head, when Akiafu asks for time,
04:02for the issue of time consumed, and they said it, of course, they are assaults of two minutes.
04:27Round of two minutes, that's how the fight was agreed,
04:51however, in ringside, the watch, the bell, and the control of the assault,
04:56prolonged a fight in a first round that should have ended,
05:01and there is the dialogue of Hector Afu with the Gothic family in the corner,
05:05because, well, the referee can't wear the watch on his head.
05:09Of course.
05:10For that there are the rules and the bell.
05:12Well, we had extra boxing.
05:14A little extra.
05:15Yes.
05:16Well, and that gives us a way to have a card too, right?
05:18It's true, it's an exhibition fight.
05:20There is no official card other than that of Fox Sports,
05:22and that's why on the screen we put 10-9 the first round in favor of Money Mayweather.
06:18which is true, which is true, and Floyd Mayweather is upset.
06:49Of course.
07:00Hey, hey, hey.
07:01We don't want to go back to what happened in Florida.
07:05We don't want to go back to what happened in Florida.
07:08And Afu forces Gothi to return to his corner, and Mayweather to his.
07:18At first, what Floyd Mayweather wanted was to let them fight,
07:21to make it less strict, the Panamanian referee,
07:24but in the face of the constant evidence and the number of rabbit punches
07:28that he was looking to connect,
07:30Floyd Mayweather had to intervene to break the law within the ring,
07:35the Panamanian referee.
07:37And we even get the impression that this fight is going to stop,
07:41because now there is a change of referee.
07:44Hector Afu has just left the ring,
07:48and we see a change of referee.
07:51Now,
07:53now,
07:57Rafael now, Alfredo, sorry,
07:59to take care of imparting justice,
08:02like the third on the quadrilateral,
08:04and receives the approval now,
08:06of Floyd Mayweather Jr.
08:09Well, that's what you can see.
08:11Get ready, Gabriel, with the gloves,
08:13in case they also send you to call.
08:15Look, what already scared me is this army of bodyguards
08:18that passed in front of us,
08:20that don't scare you at all.
08:22They are of a considerable body.
08:24That's right.
08:25You should have come,
08:27you should have already prepared mentally,
08:30in case something, like what happened in Florida,
08:33happens tonight.
08:35Good hand from Gotti.
08:37Good Gotti, putting that forceful right hand,
08:40but it's going to be repetitive,
08:42what the referee Afu tried to stop,
08:45is going to be repeated.
08:47From the previous edition,
08:49in Florida, Floyd Mayweather abused them.
08:53So don't be surprised,
08:55that they will continue to exist,
08:57but they will not be marked,
08:59because it's Floyd Mayweather's fight.
09:01Look, as this is an exhibition match,
09:03I don't normally do this,
09:05but as this assault has ended like this,
09:07it doesn't force me to have no winner.
09:09So I'm going to have to give a 9-9.
09:12You know me,
09:14I've been doing boxing broadcasts for many years,
09:17I don't give tied assaults.
09:19For me, in every round, there's a winner.
09:21And it's the judge's obligation,
09:23to detect who took the assault.
09:25Your countryman won it, the Panamanian referee won it.
09:27Here this assault is a 9-9,
09:29and leave it like that.
09:31Yes, Hector Afu.
09:33I'm leaving.
09:35I'm not going to stay in Floyd Mayweather's game.
09:37Hector Afu is a man of great prestige,
09:39as a boxing referee,
09:41and I don't want to talk about more,
09:43because there's a history between Floyd Mayweather Jr.
09:45and Hector Afu.
09:47That's why there wasn't a greeting
09:49when Mayweather entered the ring,
09:51facing the one responsible for imparting justice,
09:53who was the Panamanian Hector Afu.
09:55Well, let's see if the fight flows,
09:57now that we're set up in this,
09:59which is the third assault.
10:01Exhibition match,
10:03Gotti III against Money,
10:05through the Fox Sports screen.
10:07I wanted to add to your comment, Alex,
10:09now that you were talking about
10:11that list of Mexicans
10:13who faced Floyd Mayweather,
10:15who deserves a special mention,
10:17José Luis Castillo.
10:19The Sonoran, Baja Californian,
10:21who put him in check
10:23in that first fight in 2002,
10:25in April, celebrated in the MGM,
10:27and there was a rematch
10:29for the month of December,
10:31in the Mandalay Bay,
10:33that's where Street was born.
10:35Now Gotti is in the box.
10:37A straight punch.
10:39And be careful, because when the guard
10:41fainted to turn to see the referee,
10:43another combination
10:45by Floyd entered.
10:47Mayweather takes advantage
10:49of the moment he has in his favor.
10:51Not only because of the change of referee,
10:53but because John Gotti doesn't throw punches.
10:55He wants to hide in the ropes.
10:57When the regletas ring
10:59to finish
11:01this chapter.
11:03Well, there the guard broke,
11:05Floyd.
11:07Yes, also,
11:09improvised up there with the referee.
11:11That's right.
11:13He intervenes to undo the knot.
11:15And well, Floyd, who
11:17enjoyed the national anthem,
11:19he enjoyed his whole walk
11:21yesterday, the day before,
11:23through the Mexican capital.
11:25He also does it in a tank of war.
11:27In an armored car,
11:29but up to the teeth.
11:31And he has also enjoyed the briefcase
11:33he has received
11:35from the boxing association.
11:37Yes, without a doubt.
11:39And with a full, a day of no money
11:41in the Arena Ciudad de Mexico.
11:43Full, spectacular.
11:45Or as they say colloquially,
11:47Floyd Mayweather does not give way
11:49without Guarache.
11:51You will remember that fight
11:53against Oscar de la Hoya.
11:55It was, let's say, the boom of the pay-per-view.
11:57Yes.
11:59Selling subscriptions everywhere,
12:01taking a juicy bag.
12:03No, you are absolutely right.
12:05In fact, Oscar de la Hoya himself
12:07has commented on it from his perspective.
12:09He has pointed out that after
12:11having fought Floyd Mayweather,
12:13Floyd Mayweather became a businessman
12:15and stopped being a boxer.
12:17Totally.
12:19Because he began to take care of that undefeated streak.
12:21He began to establish
12:23more that boxing style
12:25of depending more than attacking.
12:27And in the end,
12:29he became a boxer
12:31and one of the most successful
12:33monetarily speaking in the history of this sport.
12:35Well, a man who
12:37we said at the beginning of the broadcast,
12:39right?
12:41The Forbes magazine
12:43on four occasions declared him
12:45the best paid athlete on the planet.
12:49And his victory
12:51against Coronel McGregor
12:53was the one that gave him the number 50
12:55and the leap to break that record
12:57of Rocky Marciano.
12:59The card on the screen
13:01as we have been carrying it,
13:03Floyd Mayweather Jr. has won two of the three assaults.
13:05The second
13:07we appreciate it
13:099 to 9.
13:13And that at some point, he did
13:15and not like Canelo who
13:17intended, he did earn 250
13:19million dollars sometime when he faced
13:21Manny Pacquiao, Floyd Mayweather.
13:25A man who has set records
13:27for events sold
13:29and raised
13:31to a practically
13:33unattainable level the
13:35boxing industry through paid television.
13:37Without a doubt.
13:39Remembering the fight in Florida
13:41from last year and seeing
13:43the first moments of this one,
13:45it catches my attention
13:47the lack of technique
13:49of Floyd Mayweather in this
13:51insistence of hitting with the
13:53inner part of the glove.
13:55He has not been able to do the turn.
13:57He has not been able to turn
13:59the fist.
14:01Without a doubt, but
14:03I thought I had learned
14:05something already in the final stretch.
14:09And well, Gotti
14:11also giving a little
14:13show, staying like a
14:15punching bag, not releasing
14:17blows. I would expect
14:19that within what was previously
14:21discussed, he would be able to
14:23release a certain number of episodes
14:25to then start releasing
14:27more fire, right?
14:31Now there is Floyd Mayweather with the guard
14:33very raised.
14:35I am surprised
14:37that Gotti's blows
14:39do not even bother
14:41Mayweather, considering
14:43the 10 kilos of difference
14:45that they marked in the musculature.
14:47And the age.
14:49Mayweather has endurance
14:51because Gotti is
14:53throwing him to the body, but
14:55it does not hurt him.
15:01Well, so
15:03these first four
15:05episodes have elapsed
15:07with a change of referee
15:09with rabbit blows
15:11with a Gotti who has not released
15:13the best of his
15:15boxing repertoire
15:17and a Floyd Mayweather
15:19giving a
15:21show
15:23talking too much,
15:25but those blows are
15:27again and again the constant
15:29of Floyd Mayweather, the rabbit punch.
15:49Let's go then
15:51to the fifth round.
15:53We are going to present
15:55the card.
15:57A 39-36
15:59with Floyd Mayweather Jr.
16:01so far marking
16:03the guideline in combat
16:05and a very warm
16:07John Gotti III
16:09who does not let go of his hands
16:11and when he hits,
16:13it seems that he was hitting
16:15a relative and not Floyd Mayweather Jr.
16:17Let's see if he turns on the turbines
16:19in this exhibition fight, something that is also
16:21not new in the world of boxing.
16:23We remember Mayweather himself
16:25against
16:27Tenshine Nasukawa in
16:292018. Oscar De La Hoya
16:31will remember in that television program
16:33facing Shaquille O'Neal in 2009.
16:35Mike Tyson against
16:37Roy Johnson in 2020,
16:39that is, these exhibition fights
16:41are not new in the world of boxing.
16:43Muhammad Ali did it in his time too.
16:45Against Antonio Inoki in 1976
16:47that you will remember
16:49that we also had that documentary piece
16:51in the Fox Fight Club
16:53a few times ago, Ricardo.
16:55That fight ended badly because people
16:57ended up screaming for their money to be returned.
16:59Exactly.
17:01In that fight between
17:03Muhammad Ali. Celebrated in Japan.
17:05Correct, against a wrestler
17:07that Inoki
17:09what he did all that mess
17:11was being thrown and kicking
17:13and like a wrestler
17:15turning around and kicking.
17:17He didn't do anything else.
17:19That's where
17:21that old
17:23criticism is born,
17:25to call boxing a circus.
17:27Yes, it can be.
17:29Because there are those who have left
17:31what this sport represents.
17:33Well, a theme that is almost
17:35circus-like, that fight of
17:37Tony Galento against an octopus
17:39in 1946, they put him
17:41practically a fish tank
17:43to fight an octopus that
17:45was already dead.
17:47George Foreman
17:49who fought five men in 1975
17:51because Don King
17:53came up with it after
17:55Muhammad Ali had
17:57stripped Foreman of the title
17:59when again there was not much
18:01to write home in this fifth assault.
18:03I would like that
18:05through our social networks
18:07the public also give their opinion
18:09on how they see this fight.
18:11If so far they have seen Gotti
18:13win a round
18:15they consider Floyd Mayweather Jr.
18:17has enough wood
18:19to stay
18:21active in these
18:23exhibition fights.
18:25And he has said it.
18:27He wants, why not, to return
18:29to Mexico
18:31to stage another fight.
18:33He will buy
18:35the Mexican boxing fans
18:37another edition of
18:39Morty Mayweather.
18:41They could start the
18:43chitchat and the booing at some point.
18:45Mayweather has said
18:47that he does not accept the invitation
18:49of Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.
18:51Is that the ingredient
18:53that would need
18:55a second visit of
18:57Mayweather to Mexico to fill
18:59the sand when on screen we present
19:01the card? In the press conference
19:03and as a joke, I do not know if
19:05it is a joke or a serious matter
19:07from what we have seen in the boxing
19:09past, but Floyd Mayweather Jr.
19:11said.
19:13Do you want me to fight
19:15with the son, with the father
19:17or with both at the same time?
19:19Well if Tyson did it with five,
19:21let it not be two here.
19:23What is a fact is how they respect
19:25Julio Cesar.
19:27It is a reality, without a doubt.
19:29The best Mexican fighter
19:31in history.
19:33How many have not mentioned it
19:35in this boxing summer.
19:37And there are not so many
19:39glories of boxing left
19:41still alive. That is why men
19:43like Chavez, Turan, Lennart,
19:45any of these champions
19:47take off their hats in front of those
19:49big guys, right?
19:51They are gods of Olympus in the history
19:53of boxing. When here Mayweather
19:55uses the right uppercut very well
19:57and Gotti,
19:59I do not know what he wants, a vest
20:01but it is time
20:03for the American to start boxing.
20:05Let go of his hands.
20:07I agree, Ricardo.
20:09It has gone too far
20:11to be a punching bag
20:13for Money Mayweather
20:15between the referee
20:17and Alfredo to try to separate them.
20:19He does not succeed in front of the corpulence
20:21of both boxers. He finally
20:23separates them and here begins the
20:25wrestling.
20:27Well, he tries the hook
20:29John Gotti
20:31the third, but nothing more
20:33was that, a brush, nothing more.
20:35And there is the hook.
20:37First it was a slap and now a hook
20:39by the respectable
20:41more than 15,000 people
20:43who have made an appointment tonight to see
20:45this boxing exhibition.
20:47It is correct.
20:49Demanding
20:51of the performance
20:53that so far
20:55these two are giving.
20:57I was surprised by Gotti
20:59considering that at 31 years old
21:01he should have more energy.
21:03Well, we are talking
21:05about just the sixth assault.
21:07It would seem that he was in the 18th round
21:09of a fight agreed to at 34.
21:11That's right.
21:15You went further
21:17than the 15 that were previously.
21:21Well, since the
21:23Mafioso caste comes out,
21:25because in honor of the truth
21:27the grandfather
21:29was allowed to see in front of the press
21:31in the streets of New York
21:33and he looked like a Mafioso
21:35who also came out several times
21:37on the cover of Live magazine.
21:39He liked the camera
21:41and the reflector was evident.
21:43Perfectly well dressed, perfumed
21:45that is to say.
21:47The suits to measure, the gabardines.
21:49He did not give the face of a Mafioso
21:51but quite the opposite.
21:53It was a pleasure to walk on Fifth Avenue
21:55in Manhattan.
21:57A suit of $5,000 in those times.
21:59So elegant John Gotti.
22:01And the card on the screen
22:03Bayweather
22:05dominating the fight, the time
22:07and still John Gotti
22:09who came to
22:11snuggle up in his gloves
22:13until he let go of that left hand.
22:17Let's see if the
22:19combative fury appears
22:21of Gotti Tercero.
22:23For now, the blows of the man
22:25of the purple fists
22:27have arrived
22:29in a pipette.
22:31And well, there also appears
22:33the harem
22:35the reproachful cry
22:37by the count.
22:39Again it was the kiss.
22:41When they get off the ring
22:43they will have to explain
22:45what the people wanted to say with this cry.
22:47Very romantic night then, right?
22:49It has been a romantic fight
22:51until now, where Mayweather
22:53there in short
22:55has taken the best part
22:57but I don't understand Gotti.
22:59Gotti hits again under the belt
23:01and the Tercero allows it on the ring.
23:03We are already in the penultimate
23:05episode of the 8 Pactas.
23:07Is it serious?
23:09How fast time has passed in this.
23:11We are already reaching the other shore.
23:13People have wanted to see more show,
23:15it's true.
23:17We saw the figure of Floyd Mayweather Jr.
23:19but it was expected that there would be more
23:21gunpowder and pyrotechnics for these heights
23:23of the night.
23:25Let's see if in what is left of this seventh assault
23:27which is about to expire
23:29and the eighth
23:31the fireworks appear.
23:35Well, we have seen
23:37how Gotti has been much more
23:39propositive to Floyd Mayweather
23:41than ever.
23:43I'm not going to criticize
23:45Mayweather's performance.
23:47Mayweather has had the disposition.
23:49Mayweather has come to box.
23:51Mayweather has hit.
23:53Gotti is adorned.
23:55It seems part of the scenography
23:57within the quadrilateral.
23:59Yes, very static, practically like a table.
24:01Gotti has appeared third above the quadrilateral
24:03and the last assault will come.
24:15Well, I would think
24:17that Gotti was reserved
24:19for the last assault.
24:21Let's see
24:23if in the next two minutes
24:25that in the clause of the contract
24:27of this fight came
24:29are two minutes in the eighth.
24:31Let's see if there is any artillery
24:33or any surprise
24:35in the bottom of the trunk.
24:37Let's see.
24:45Also some people
24:47from the ringside area
24:49have begun to look for the exits
24:51of this stage.
24:53Approach the corridors.
24:55Especially the people who come
24:57from the United States
24:59with both teams.
25:01And what will be the reason,
25:03do you think?
25:05Ah, because they are hungry.
25:07Exactly.
25:09Well, the last episode
25:11of this exhibition fight
25:13here in the capital
25:15of the Mexican Republic.
25:17In the Arena Ciudad de Mexico,
25:19which was dressed in a Las Vegas style gala.
25:21But unfortunately
25:23the public is demanding
25:25more of these two fighters
25:27after what happened in Florida.
25:29Straight to the final.
25:31The booing is still constant.
25:33Floyd Mayweather
25:35tries to give a little more
25:37of a show by boxing,
25:39putting that straight left and then the hook
25:41but John Gotti finally
25:43tries a cross.
25:45He has a strong and solid
25:47punch, but he has not released
25:49his arm. He has not taken advantage
25:51of his age,
25:53nor the length of his arms.
25:55The reach, the stature,
25:57nothing.
25:59He has all the advantages in between.
26:01It has really been
26:03a punching bag.
26:05Another punch in the neck
26:07that obviously the referee, well,
26:09I wasn't going to point it out, but yes,
26:11he is going to point it out.
26:15He asks for some time and
26:17the referee speaks to
26:19both fighters
26:21to say, well, in the final
26:23straight of the fight, let's fight cleanly.
26:25What's left of him.
26:27Fortunately,
26:29it's not much, right? No,
26:31it's 30 seconds.
26:35And Gotti
26:37heats up
26:41in the last 20 seconds
26:43of the last assault
26:45when he had another
26:477 rounds to do it.
26:49Of course, at this moment we saw a triple
26:51extension of the left arm
26:53impacting Floyd Mayweather's humanity
26:55when we are reaching
26:57the final straight of this assault.
26:59It's only a few seconds.
27:01Well,
27:03a kiss, a bite
27:05and a smile.
27:07This is how this assault will end
27:09and the exhibition fight
27:11between Mayweather and Gotti.
